SanDisk's 128 MB CompactFlash memory card features high storage capacity and runs on many popular digital cameras, hand-held PCs, and other memory-driven products. Thorough testing in SanDisk's assurance lab ensures that its CompactFlash cards are compatible with a wide range of devices.

From the Manufacturer

CompactFlash is the world's most popular removable mass storage device. The CompactFlash card is about the size of a matchbook and only weighs half an ounce. The card was designed based on the popular PC Card (PCMCIA) standard and can easily be slipped into these slots with the use of a low-cost adapter. CompactFlash technology has resulted in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small, lightweight, low-power mobile products that significantly increases the productivity and enhances the lifestyle of millions of people. These products include digital cameras, digital music players, desktop computers, handheld PCs (HPCs), personal communicators, Palm PCs, Auto PCs, digital voice recorders and photo printers. SanDisk, the inventor of this product, has led the market for CompactFlash since its inception. This model has enough storage to hold more than two hours of compressed music, or dozens of digital pictures.

Fast
High transfer rate for fast copy/download operations.

Efficient
High storage capacity, with non-volatile solid-state memory that has no moving parts to conserve battery power and maximize battery life in small portable devices. The card has an operating shock rating of 2,000Gs, equivalent to a 10-foot drop to the floor.

Compatible
This product works with all digital cameras, handheld PCs, digital audio players, and other devices that feature a CompactFlash slot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Product - Essential for Nikon Coolpix, September 20, 2000

This review is from: SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)

About a year ago, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 950 digital camera. The "wimpy" 8 MB CompactFlash card that came with the unit would only hold one (1) uncompressed, high-resolution picture - I needed more. I started looking and found this; the SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash. I read on the Nikon technical support web page that SanDisk is the OEM for Nikon's CompactFlash cards, so I felt pretty safe selecting this card. The only question I had was "would my Coolpix 950 work with a card this large?" The answer is a resounding YES! (according to friends, it will work in the new Coolpix 990 also)

The card formatted in the camera perfectly and has simply worked for the past nine months. I shoot all pictures in high resolution with a moderate compression level, allowing me to store more than 110 - 2.1 MegaPixel pictures in the camera - plenty for me. Recently, we took a five-day trip to Disney World - this card captured ALL of our pictures perfectly. If you get this, check out one of the USB card readers as well - the serial connection is just way too slow for transferring this much data.

Executive Summary: Buy it now.

This review is from: SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)

One of the "must-haves" for digital cameras is the ability to store a significant number of pictures. The SanDisk 128Mb card provided the ability to store over 700, which was adequate for our upcoming two-week vacation.

Why the SanDisk? I checked out compatibility (actually, the Kodak DX3600 required an upgrade to provide support for this product), and reviewed the ... organization's site ... . The dollars/megabyte, from one of the bigger manufacturers, was right. A five-year warranty closed the deal for me. Finally, it's proven itself reliable for the past few months. NO problems whatsoever.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 days at Disney on one card!!, March 29, 2002

This review is from: SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)

I bought this about 10 hours before leaving for Disney World. I use it in a Nikon Coolpix 700 (2.1 mp) set at the basic mode (1600 x 1200, apx 240k per pic with full compression). I took 471 pictures and had room for over 100 more. Download of 108 meg with a USB card reader took about 5 minutes. A side effect I had not counted on was that write times increased as the card got full. With a 16MB card I never noticed this but toward the end of 128MB the delay was very noticeable. "Boot time" (pause after turning on the camera) was increased too. Again, something that was never an issue with a smaller card. A good reason to hang on to your older, smaller ram cards for things like sporting events frames per second are important. If picture quality is essential to your work, the size fo the card makes full TIFF images (8 meg per) a viable option. Memory may not be cheaper for a long time. I paid the same for this card that I paid for a 16MB card 2 years ago. Highly recomended.
