What more can I say? I've been using SD cards for several years. ALL my computer docs and data go directly on the card. It is a great way to keep a lean, fast-running computer without the hassle of CD's. Once a week I back-up and sync my existing SD card with a second card. I simply plug two card readers into my computer. With a few clicks I'm done. Also, it's a good idea to defrag your memory cards once in a while just like your main hard drive.

I was very impressed with the price and the quality of this memory card for my digital camera! Highly recommend!

No surprises here just fast and reliable. I am a kingston convert they are the highest quality with the lowest price.

I bought it for my two friends who don't know much about SD card. I think Kingston is one of reliable brands in the market. I also used SD card from Kingston. It is good quality with affordable price

I bought this SD card for just about $13, I couldn't believe the price was for a 1G, I guess the price is just falling. I put it in my digital camera, dont see anything wrong with it. I would recomend

I've owned this card for just over two years now, and it's served me quite well in terms of reliability in its main purpose: to provide removable data storage for my handheld device (a Palm Treo 700wx). Its transfer speeds are about average, which is fine for an "economy-level" flash storage card such as this one.

The only complaint I have is that when it was only a couple of months old, the outside edge of the card very easily "chipped away" through normal handling and use with the phone. I'm very careful with all my electronics, and have been so with my phone as well; it's never been dropped, etc. But after a few dozen insertions and removals - which I expect any REMOVABLE flash memory card to easily endure - the portion of this card that sticks out (i.e., the part you press to insert and remove it) began splitting, and soon the edge chipped away completely. It seems that the plastic material of which the card case is constructed is just a bit too brittle compared to many others out there. For a product that is used in this way, and therefore must be able to endure a slight bit of pressure on its edge many times over months/years as it serves its purpose, a slightly softer, more flexible material should be used.

Now, to its credit, although the edge of the card was "broken off" soon after I had bought it, the card continued - even to this very day, over two years later - to function with flawless reliability.

So although I can tout this card's service record in the long term, there are better options out there that are equally reliable and inexpensive, but which will not snap on the pressure edge quite so readily. Hence, I give it 3/5 stars.

The Kingston 1 GB SD Card SD/1GBKR is pretty comparable with the Kingston 1 GB Secure Digital Flash Card ( SD/1GB ) (Retail Package). It's a standard SD card in a slower but widely compatible format.

Yes it is on the low end of capacity being sold right now. However, it's such a great value. No need to worry about SDHC compatibility here. Works with all SD devices and computers with appropriate memory card readers.

The only knock on this card is that it is somewhat slow. However, at this price it's still great as a spare.

So if you have a really high end camera you will want to spend more for a bigger one. But if you need an extra memory card for your Wii, digital camera (most point and shoot Canons and Nikons) or PDA, this is a good one to get.

Enjoy!

We purchased this card just a month ago... Wanting a fresh card for the birth of our third child. For just ten dollars, we thought it was quite the find!!! Yesterday, after over two hundred pictures taken the card died. At first I thought it was my camera, but other cards worked in it. In a panic I took the card to the local grocers, where they have a digital photo kiosk... Said the device didn't detect anything. And when attempting to upload the images to my computer... Same thing! Heart broken I attempted to find a solution online... And though I haven't tried it yet -- some people have had some luck (with this card) by taking it to a profecional. From what we have learned, after taking the card in most ppl were able to salvage 20-80% of their images. Defently worth a try. BAD BAD CARD

I have had a lot of SD cards over the years and this one is just like any other. It is solid and have had no problems with it.

This is a review of the Kingston 1GB SD card only, not other cards by the same manufacturer. It is not marked as to class. I bought it about a year ago to use in a picture frame, not a camera. Then I decided to use a USB stick for the picture frame and used this for backup for the files I am currently working on on my computer. About 2 months ago I started getting error messages that prevented me from writing files to the card. I formatted it, thus losing some of the earlier backup, but then recopied all the current files I could think of. It worked ok for about another 6 weeks. But last week, the same thing happened again, but this time it immediately stopped accepting files, and reformatting didn't solve the problem. I then switched to a Kingston 4 GB class 4 card that I had, and so far, all is well. I don't know what could be causing this problem; whether it's the class or just some environmental problem. If these things are not well shielded from weak stray magnetism, it could indict all cards of this type. I did not subject it to any strong magnetic fields, I can assure you. I can't now remember what the error messages said verbatim, but I recall that the problem was only with writing, not reading. So perhaps this card would work in a camera, but I'm not sure I would want to risk losing important shots.
