This card was quickly shipped. It works flawlessly in my Nikon D200 digital camera. It is fast, and easily keeps up with the frame rate of my D200. I will probably buy a second one as backup.

I'm a pro photographer.
This product came quickly, as is always needed for me. With my 40D this product processes images as quickly as I need to cover weddings and sporting events.

With this card on Raw I can get at least 750 images.

When shooting in "large" format choice, I can get at least 1500.
Since the sensor shows 999 remaining and I download after each shoot, it may be able to hold a greater amount.

For anyone shooting photos with a camera less than 10Megs, the number of files on this card for you would be tremendous, and more than you need.
Keeping too many of your prized family photos on a card and not downloading is not such a good idea....

Sturdy product. Would certainly recommend.

Ordered 4 cards of this batch of Kingston cards from Amazon. Had originally purchased 4 of these a couple years back from another vendor.

The latest batch I purchased were all failures. I format all the cards in camera, and after about 1/4 of the way through, the card will cause my camera to freeze on read - only resettable with a battery reset.

Too many corrupted sectors on this batch of cards, and I just can't trust it.

If it matters: The good 8GB Kingston CF cards I own (with this green label) have a rounded rectangle around the comment lines on the back. The label is (C)2003. The bad batch of cards I have use the (C)2008 label. I can't deduce a trend based on serial#/batch#.

Good luck on your purchase. I won't be buying these particular ones again.
