You can't go wrong with SanDisk cards! I use my memory cards under heavy heavy usage for digital imagery and audio. My cards get beaten on as they get pulled out of and pushed into many different devices. Oftentimes, I don't bother to turn off power. I've never had a single SanDisk card go bad ever! I now buy them exclusively.

My negative review is based on one experience with one card with one manufacturer. Since this was my first experience with digital photography, I am hoping I was just unlucky and that this will not prove to be a regular experience.

I purchased the Sandisk 128MB card with my Olympus 2040 camera in November and took both on a vacation to Italy. The camera worked out great, but I noticed a problem with this Sandisk card on the third photo. I knew photo #3 was lost but assumed my other photos would be okay. On my return home I tried to transfer my 240 photos to my computer, but got disk errors. I called Sandisk and the customer service rep informed me that the only way to save my photos was to send the disk to a data recovery service. I found some services on the internet, and discovered that this is a growing industry. Recovery of my photos would cost $300 - more than I am willing to pay.

I asked the Sandisk customer service rep if disk failure was a common problem. To my horror, he said yes, this happens all the time. So my advise to aspiring digital photographers is to take great care with your memory cards, test them out before important events, and always keep a backup card on hand. I have since purchased a Viking 128MB card and it has worked flawlessly. But, for the foreseeable future I will rely on my old faithful Nikon SLR as my primary way to preserve important photo memories.

What more can I say except that they work flawlessly with my Fuji 2600 camera ?

The card has never given me any problem for last 2 months. I have used it to its full capacity couple of times. And its worth its price since the 64MB also costs a similar price.

Sandisk has a 5 year warranty on the card, which I think should be sufficient given the way the memory cards have been increasing in their capacity and the increase in MP's of digicams.

If are using a Sandisk rebate offer, they do have a rebate phone line to call & inquire about your status. I haven't got mine back yet but beleive that I will. ... So you can count on the rebate offer to lower your price....

Also there have been some concerns with using a 128MB card in place of 32 or 64 makes your camera slower ? Well as far I have observed, the camera is sligthly slower when starting the review for pictures on the camera. Other than this (expected) slowness, there's none to it. The smartmedia cards of all sizes have same speeds, unlike compact flash cards.

Update : I got the rebate back from Sandisk, so you can count on it !
