Product Description

Spend More Time Taking Pictures A photo opportunity lasts only an instant. If your digital camera is busy processing the last one, you're sure to miss the next one. That's where we come in. Our high-speed digital film helps your camera capture images faster, so you spend more time taking pictures and less time waiting on your camera.* Lexar Media CompactFlash cards are individually speed rated so you know the minimum capability of the card. We use the same rating system used by the CD-ROM industry, where data transfer rate of 1X equals 150 kilobytes (KB) per second. The higher the speed rating, the faster your camera will be able to write images to the memory card. Digital Film Designed for the Professional Photographer For the professional shooter who needs immediate confirmation they've captured "the shot" or wants to identify accurate exposure, levels, or bracketing range - Lexar Media's patented 4X, 12X, 32X and 40X speed (1X=150KB/sec.), (4X=600KB/sec.), (12X=1.8MB/sec.), (32X=4.8MB/sec.), and (40X=6.0MB/sec.) transfer rate respectively) is critical. Ideal for fast-paced applications such as photojournalism, sports and fashion, Lexar Media's High-Speed Series and Professional Digital Film brings out the ultimate performance from your professional equipment. Solid-state Design with Built-in USB Intelligence Professionals know that a single image can be more valuable than all their equipment co

Just bought it and so far so good. Used it on a trip to Southern Utah to shoot Antelope Canyon and the Wave with my Canon 10D. Filled it up twice with no issues. Lexar includes image recovery software though, just in case, which is a nice bonus. Was the fastest of all of our cards (between 4 people with digital SLRs, we had quite a variety - SanDisk, MicroDrive, Viking, SimpleTech, Lexar), when copying images to my laptop hard drive. Bit pricey, but will probably get another.

I had originally ordered the sandisk 1GB Ultra II online, but those other guys messed up my order and sent me this one instead. A little disappointed, I decided to keep this one. WOW!!! I have a Digital Rebel and I couldn't believe how fast this card was. It was storing my images faster than I could take the pictures. I'm talking about 6.3MP's. This baby is lightning fast, and a definite keeper. Boy am I glad I kept it!!

I use this product with a Nikon Coolpix 8700; out of the box and into the camera, ready to go with no set-up. Writes 2 MB images with ZERO delay, as fast as I can work the shutter. The Nikon's largest file weighs in at 24 MB, and this card swallows them in approx. 4 sec. Not bad.
Transferring to any PC or Mac with the JumpShot cable is equally sweet: insert card into cable, insert cable into USB port, and start clickin and draggin'. No set-up on either end. For a cross-platform guy like me, this kind of compatibility is a god-send. Thank you Lexar!
