The Lexar Secure Digital card (1 GB Platinum) seems every bit as reliable as their justly famous Compact Flash cards. I was initially leery of trying Secure Digital, but the card is no fuss, no muss, and considerably smaller than Compact Flash. Have used it with the equally surprising Casio Exilim EX-S500, and am impressed with both.

If you are thinking of buying a digital camera, buying one of these cards is a must. The number of pictures in high resolution is amazing and saves a ton of time going back and forth downloading/erasing with smaller cards. Like Nike says, just do it.

Bought one for my Treo 650. Read speed seems OK, but the write speed is horrible! When using voice recording software, the card was too slow to properly write the .wav files, and everything I recorded was garbled and useless. When doing my daily data backup, the process took at least 10x as long as with my SanDisk card. Even the garbage no-name card that I got free with my Treo is dramatically faster.

I hate to admit it, but it never even occurred to me that there could be such a dramatic difference in quality in such a simple product. I will never buy anything but SanDisk again!
