4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal, but slow, June 21, 2007

I bought one for my Leica D-Lux 3 and both the card and the reader work fine. However, if you are shooting RAW files, the write speed is very, very slow. So you might want to look at the Ultra version of this which I think costs about $20 more.

3.0 out of 5 stars High capacity but slow card, May 20, 2007

This review is from: SanDisk SDHC Memory Card Bonus MicroMate Reader 4.0 GB SDSDBR-4096-A10 (Personal Computers)

This high capacity card transfers its images to my computer a bit slowly using the supplied micromate reader which you will need unless you use the camera itself. I noticed that its transfer rate is about 2.5 MB/second which translates into a little less than 1/2 hour for all the images if you fill the card to capacity. I have other Sandisk SD cards that are much faster but I will use this card for travel when I am more concerned with capturing many pictures and am willing to wait to transfer them to my computer when I get home.

I received excellent delivery times from Amazon and its supplier for this product and have never lost a picture due to a Sandisk card failure or had any compatibility issues with Sandisk memory cards. I rate the card 3 stars because of its speed; otherwise the card and its reader work well.

I bought two of this memory card as an offer. The card works pretty well with my D40x Nikon. It works pretty fast with with my huge mega pixel photos. However, My computer cannot read the card without the card reader that comes with it. I do not suggest you get the card alone, make sure you get the card reader with it.
