I lost an entire, priceless job and delt with all the consiquencis, when this card reformatted itself. i went to lexars website and there was a blurb about these cards being defective for canons (include 5D on that list people) DONT BUY IT IF YOU HAVE CANON!

I also own this card and yes it was incompatible with some Canon cameras (like the Canon 20D, 30D, and 5D) and I lost a couple photos. Previously I had used the card flawlessly for 2 years on a Konica Minolta A200 with no problems at all.

I called Lexar and they offered to be send me a replacement for free. It turns out that the Lexar Professional 80x-speed CompactFlash 4GB with the last 4 digits of card edge stamp "A4B6" or "9171" did not work on some Canon cameras.

That is the advantage of the Lexar Pro cards--they replace the cards if there's any problem. No they can't replace your photos, but they do at least fix your card if it is malfunctioning. I sent the card for RMA replacement and got a new card back in 4 days that has worked flawlessly in all the cameras I've put it into. It was easy, I didn't have to wait on the phone more than 3 minutes to get a person to help me.

That's my impression. Take it for what it's worth. I don't usually write reviews but I hope this helps.

I needed more space and I bought this card because it was the best combination of quality, size, and price. I have a 2gb Lexar card that is 133x and it seems a lot faster, especially when transferring files to my computer. This is just my perception, though, I haven't actually run any tests. If the price seems good to you, this is a fabulous card.
