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 SANDISK SDCFH512786 512MB Ultra CompactFlash, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 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 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

I have owned two of these cards for around three months now, and not had a single problem with the cards. The ease of use and the reliability of the card is great. I waited to write a review of these cards to make sure that they opporated correctly and they do. Great price and great preformance.

I have several Sandisk CF cards including this 512MB card, and I've never had a problem with any of them. My wife is a professional photographer, and we've taken thousands of photographs using various Canon 35mm SLR digital cameras, and Sandisks cards have always worked perfectly.

I bought this card because of its capacity and it crashed on me during my vacation. I got a replacement card when I returned home. Luckily there was not a complete failure and I only lost a couple of pictures.

I have a Viking Card, which is really good.
