I purchased the Sandisk 32MB Flash memory card over the weekend and I have to say I would have been lost without it. I already had the 8MB that came with my Nikon CP-950. I thought it over wheather to buy an 8, 16 or 32 and since 8 quicky was filled I thought twice the amount wouldn't even be enough. I was right, I had been at the park on a beautiful day with the 32mb card; it was enough to keep me busy for 4 hours! I collected about 86 photos. The quality was nice also. I would buy this size card from Sandisk again. For serious picture takers, this is a wise buy.

Unless you carry a notebook computer to constantly dump your digital camera images to, you will likely have noticed that the memory card that came with your digital camera fills up rather quickly, especially at higher resolutions. Why camera companies are unwilling to shell out the extra few dollars for larger capacity cards to include with their products is a mystery of marketing, but the fact that the dinky 4, 8 and 16 MB cards fill up with photos of family and adventures rather quickly. That's why this little card is such a gem.

32MB is a good compromise in the size/cost ratio, although the 48MB and 64MB cards are also a good deal. The Sandisk brand is a relative unknown to the consumer -- at least under that name. Sandisk supposedly makes memory cards and sells them directly to the camera manufacturers, so chances are the card that came with your camera is made by them. As far as reliability goes, the memory works just as well and holds just as much as better known name brands which cost tens of dollars more.

All in all, the Sandisk memory is a good product at a good price, and it will make your digital picture taking so much more enjoyable as you forget about having to pace yourself concerning the amount of photos you take!

At 1024 x 768 resolution, this memory card holds 200-390 images on my Polaroid PDC-700 camera (that's like 8-16 rolls of film). The price and capacity are just right for weekend trips or special events. **Go crazy** and take pictures of anything and everything that catches your eye!

I took 89 pictures in 5 hours at my company's "Relay for Life" event on Friday, and really enjoyed not having to "budget" my photos or worry about running out of film. The image quality was excellent, and downloading was quick & easy with a digital film reader.

I'm planning a 2-week trip to Spain this fall, and am considering an additional 32MB SanDisk memory card just in case I get **Too Crazy**. Does anyone know if they make a storage case for spare memory cards?

When I purchased my digital camera (Kodak DC280) I included one of these for extra space. The card works properly and was at a good price. What else can you ask for?

Not much, unless you find that you sometimes take lots of photos. I guess that includes me. In which case you'll wish that you purchased a larger card. I bought the Viking 128mb card, and now feel completely prepared with the combined cards providing enourmous storage. Unless you are going to be away for an extended period, I can't imagine needing more space.

The bottom line is that this card works, but you need to really consider what your storage requirements will be so you can select the right size.

I have a 32 MB Sandisk Compact Flash card for my Nikon Coolpix 950, a 2-megapixel digital cam. This card will allow you to record about 50 pictures at the standard (640x480) resolution, so if you find you're not a 'power user' of your camera, it should be plenty - and the dollars-to-megabyte ratio is right!

However, if you regularly shoot at higher resolutions such as 1600x1200 (i.e. 8" x 10" photo quality), you won't be able to fit 20 photos on this card. In that event, you might want to think about going for their 96MB card (also available from Amazon!)

With this size card you might also want to think about going for Sandisk's inexpensive USB card reader - it's up to 50x as fast and a lot less hassle than hooking the camera up to the computer!

I didn't realize that there are large differences between brands of CompactFlash cards until I purchased (thinking that I was saving money) an inferior, "no name" brand. The generic card literally fell apart on me.

After making that mistake, I researched through the tech boards and unequivically, the SanDisk and the Viking disks received the best reviews and the highest ratings.

I chose the SanDisk brand because its price was better than the Viking's without foregoing the quality as I had done previously.

This is a great buy at the current, discounted price. Take advantage of it while the sale price is still available!

The most common application for this type of memory card is a digital camera, but these can also be used with a number of electronic devices, including the HP Jordana, and even your laptop computer with a PC Card adapter. You can store any type of data on the cartridge, and they can be quickly changed between devices. I have never had a problem with any of my SanDisk Compact Flash Cards.

I have a few friends that have purchased this product and it works fine. If however the price is too high or it is out of stock I would recommend the Viking CF32M (it is currently a little less expensive).

If you look at all of the reviews of both products you will see that they are very comparable in regards to quality and reliability (in fact there is one review that states the Viking card is actually faster).

Anyway, this is a good product when the price is right and it is in stock.

Excellent product for the price. I use this flashcard for my Cassiopeia E-105, it really helps me save valuable memory space for my handheld. It has an unlimited amount of uses allowing the user to download mp3's, programs & games. Very easy to use (drag & drop) files right into the card, create a shortcut on your handheld & thats all there is to it. Extremely convenient, compact & very reliable. Don't know how I got along without one. Highly recommend!!!

...And it does it well. For the price, the 32mb is the best value. Unless you plan on taking hundreds of High Res, Large format pictures, don't waste money on a larger card. I use this card with a Canon S100 and I'm very happy with the results. I've never had to worry about running out of space when shooting low res(640x480) almost 300 pics, and in Hi Res Mode (overkill) it can still handle more than 30. I've taken and deleted hundreds of pictures with no problems.
