4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with my Canon 7D DSLR, December 11, 2009

This review is from: Kingston Elite Pro 32 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card CF/32GB-S2 (Personal Computers)

I purchased this card for my Canon 7D DSLR and it's video mode (1080p). Since the camera consumes about 4GB per 12 minute clip, this card is good for around 48 minutes of 1080p 30/24 or 720p 60 video. The card appears fast enough to keep up with the high bitrate capture of the 7D's video mode. Be warned, however, it is not fast enough for continuous (high-speed) JPEG and/or JPEG-RAW capture. The 7D can be a speed demon at up to 8fps at full resolution. I also have Sandisk Extreme III cards (30MB/s) and they are noticeably faster. I can fill the buffer with the Kingston card, but not the Sandisk.

That said, this card is about 1/2 the price of the Sandisk Extreme, and since I mainly wanted the card for HD Video capture, it performs up to my expectations. I've also had a 16GB version of this card for over a year and used it with my Canon 50D with no issues.

I have NOT experienced any data corruption issues with this 32GB card or the 16GB card I've had for over a year. I would not hesitate in buying another one and plan on it very soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Unreliable for RAW, April 12, 2009

These Kingston cards are simply too unreliable when shooting RAW to recommend use. Which is unfortunate as the card is a tremendous value, from a good brand name.

I've had my card replaced once already due to it's repeated failures. The Kingston Customer service people were very helpful, too bad the replacement card is just as buggy as the original.

Look to: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-CompactFlash-Memory-CF-16GB-S2/product-reviews/

for other reviews of this card. The card seems to work just fine in JPEG mode, but fails on say 1 in 50 RAW images. I use dual record (JPEG and RAW simultaneously) and have yet to have a JPEG fail, but frequently the RAW version of the image is corrupt. This has occurred on multiple camera bodies (D300 and D700) for me, and from the other reviews, for multiple people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on 5D MII, May 5, 2009

Have this card for more than one month, it has been working great in my 5D MKII. Filled it once with RAW and H.264 videos. It is great to have 32GB on a vacation, it fills up pretty quick though.

No problem so far.
