Product Description
Advanced amateurs and professional photographers need Flash memory they can count on for even the most demanding shoots. That¿s why Kingston enhanced our CompactFlash Ultimate cards. The newly redesigned Kingston CompactFlash Ultimate offers an amazing minimum sustained write speed rating of 266X, making it our fastest card to support high-end digital cameras and devices. It¿s designed to deliver superior results with fast data transfer and support for continuous shooting. With its ultra-fast transfer rates of 45MB/sec. read and 40MB/sec. write, you can capture more continuous, high-resolution images in less time with the CompactFlash Ultimate than traditional CompactFlash memory cards. For added peace of mind, CompactFlash Ultimate comes with a bonus download for data recovery software from MediaRECOVER. With MediaRECOVER, you can recover lost or deleted files and restore corrupt files on Windows or Mac systems. To ensure that Kingston Flash memory solutions are among the performance leaders in their class, Kingston engineers select high-performance controllers as part of each card¿s design. Each card is 100-percent tested and you can rest assured that every CompactFlash Ultimate card has received a perfect score. Available in capacities up to 16GB, CompactFlash Ultimate offers plenty of room for capturing and storing high volumes of images in RAW, JPEG, TIFF and other large file formats. As with all Kingston Flash cards, CompactFlash Ultimate cards are backed by a lifetime warranty, 24/7 live technical support and the legendary reliability that makes Kingston the leader in memory.

RE the previous review, I formatted this card in a Canon 5D and found that it provided the advertised capacity. I typically use Lexar 300x cards and am satisfied with them, but I decided to try the Kingston Ultimate on the strength of its first-place recommendation in a recent review:
[...]
Into the bargain, the Kingston is quite a bit less expensive than the 300x Lexar.
I have gone to 16GB cards for the capacity but have not tried 32GB cards because, as of this writing, there are none fast enough. The real speed stops at 16GB, and slower cards (e.g. the "133x" class) will stop the camera with rapid buffer fills during extended shooting bursts. There really is a significant difference in burst length between the 133x cards and the speed-demons. As to capacity, with the 5D I can get about 900 RAWs in 16GB -- more than enough for an entire wedding, almost enough for a dance performance (which is where I need the speed). If burst speed is not an issue for you, a slower but more capacious card may be a more cost-effective choice.

I got this memory card for my Canon EOS 7D. The data rate is sufficient for all video recording settings including 720p at 60 frames per second and 1080p at 30 frames per second. The card can hold around 600 raw photos. I ended up getting two of these in case I ran out of space. It works great, what else can I say?
Note: Be sure you format the card with the camera before you use it or else you can get some I/O issues with video recording. I've lost two video clips because of it.

It's fast, it works too. The problem with CompactFlash cards is larger and faster they go, more likely they are to have memory problems. This one worked just fine.
