Product Description

SD Cards are the industry standard for today's removable flash media-based products like digital still cameras, camcorders with still photo modes, digital music players, mobile phones, personal organizers, DVD recorders, home theater components, and more. High mega pixel digital still cameras and video recording modes require faster recording times for your media. This Panasonic 256MB SD card records up to 10MB/s, faster than the majority of standard SD cards available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only 'pros' know the quality of a premium SD..., July 21, 2004

This review is from: Panasonic 256MB SD Memory Card with up to 10MB/s (up to 66x) writing speed (Personal Computers)

If you are not familiar with the SD cards, you should know that the panasonic was the company that first started this flash memory industry. They are the best and most reliable SD cards you can ever find. They have a bit expensivier price compared to other major producing companies (Sandisk, Toshiba, etc) but its well worth it. I have Tungsten T3 PDA and when I ran a memory speed test on all the SD cards I had owned (Kingston, Panasonic, Sandisk, etc) Panasonic was a LOT faster than any one of them + more stable. If you want really good SD card you can use over and over, buy Panasonic. If you have a lot of time on your hand with small budget, I recommend Lexar or Kingston SD cards (I have good experiences with them both). The quality of panasonic SD cards is unquestionable. Its only the price that changes few peoples mind..........

5.0 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?, November 5, 2004

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Panasonic 256MB High Speed SD Memory Card, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best SD Card, August 7, 2004

This little card writes at blazing speeds. I transfered 240MB of Music from my computer in a little over a minute via my card reader/writer. I use this card in my HPIpaq 4155. It works great. This card is honestly the RollsRoyce of SD cards. There is no better SD card than Panasonic. Kingston is good and reliable. But Kingston SD cards write at much slower speeds than Panasonic. Panasonic is the Roadrunner of SD cards.
