I have some minor problems once in a while like it displayed a message of memory problem but during my last vacation I took about 150-170 pictures in the first few days. Suddenly i get those memory messages and finally I got "Corrupted Data" and that was the end. I couldtn't view or download my pictures anymore. I have to purchase a new 512MB this time i bought ScanDisk at Radio Shack for 60 dollars.
It works fine when it works but then it doesn't work anymore and it's all gone.
Let's see if I have better luck with ScanDisk ...

I am currently looking for a new memory card as the PNY 512 stopped working. I could not get my last images from it. Lasted less than a year, about 30-50 downloads before Memory Error message came up.

My PNY card worked fine for a one year and suddenly went belly-up. One day it was simply unreadable. There's a "lifetime" warranty, but do I really want another of these?

You should not buy this compact flash card if you have a FujiFilm S7000 camera as it will drain the batteries.

I bought the memory yesterday and put it in my S7000. It's been less than 24 hours, and I have had to replace the batteries twice (I've taken about 10 pictures total with the camera turned off most of the time).
Other than that the memory seems to work fine in the camera.

Note, I cannot comment on other cameras as this is the only one I've tried the card in. I believe this is a known problem in the FujiFilm S7000 camera, that some compact flash cards cause battery drains -- this is one of those cards. If you're looking for a 512MB CF card, consider instead the Lexar 40X 512MB WA card (CF512-40-380) as this works fine in the camera. I've also found that a SimpleTech 512MB works fine.
