I use this card with Canon SD300 camera and have not had any problems described by other users. There is definitely a performance increase over regular cards because with this card i can record 640x480 movies without it ending prematurely due to slow write speed suffered by regular cards. I've used sandisk 256mb SD, kingston 512mb SD, kingmax 512mb MMC, and a-data 512mb MMC with the SD300. all of them can only record hi-res moive continuously for 40-60 seconds. With this highspeed kingston I can record continuously for 5 minutes, at which time the memory runs out.

It worked well for a bit, but now I get "Memeory Card Error" messages. Amazon has been great in exchanging it though. I may have just gotten a bad one.
UPDATE: I've had the new one for 6 months now, and it works great! I'd be at 5 stars if not for the prob with the first one, but it won't let me change it to 4 now.

When shopping for a larger memory card for my digital camera, I thought all SD cards were created equally. So, I chose this cheaper product from a off-brand manufacturer. The money I saved sure wasn't worth the 100's of pictures I lost when this card failed. Of course, the card had to fail on vacation, after we had taken many pictures. It was less than 2 weeks old when it failed, so I didn't even get much use out of it at all. I promptly returned it to Amazon when I got back from my vacation, but that won't replace my missing pictures. Don't take a chance with your memories because you want to save a few dollars. It isn't worth it.

Normally Kingston has some of the most reliable products.
For whatever reason the Kingston 512MB High Speed SD Card isn't compatible with a Canon SD 400. But it's most likely a Canon issue for not supporting Kingston SD memory. I can't really rate it fairly because I could only use it once before I got memory errors from the SD400 and lost my photos.

I purchased this card for my Canon SD450, and I have been pleased with the performance and capacity...especially for the price.

The only issue I have had is with downloading pictures. Through the camara, the download is great. However, a GE 10-in-1 card reader will not read the card.

I've been using this card for 3 months now and it gives me random memory errors on my Canon SD400, making it impossible to take photos sometimes. Beware!

I use this with my digital camera but once I started using the camera I realized I needed more memory to get through the event I was shooting so now buy the 2 GB card.

This company provided excellent customer service when I needed it. I recommend buying from this company.

I ordered this to use with my new Canon PowerShot A710 IS. Although I have not had much time to get into putting them through their paces, it has worked flawlessly in what I have done. Thank you "Kingston," for your quality and "Amazon," for providing the resources for customers to research and aquire their needs.

Memory card error & data loss. I couldn't feel the 'high speed' as mentioned. Away from it and recommend to have sandisk as what I have now. My Sandisk 512-A10 have alomost same speed as Kingston have even though it is not rated as 'high speed' product. It is not worth to save a few dollar but encounter a data loss.
