Beware, Fake SD card, January 17, 2007
This review is from: SanDisk 1 GB Secure Digital SD Card (SDSDB-1024, Bulk Package) (Personal Computers)
I bought this product and found that it didn't work in the camera I bought it for. Suspicious, I contacted SanDisk and found that the card was not genuine. The SanDisk logo on the back of this card is not on any regular SanDisk cards. Even if this card works in your camera, I would not keep it. Fake SD cards are known to have less reliability and slower read times. They are also not supported by SanDisk. This item has been switching sellers recently. I wonder why. I know this review looks awkward among other good reviews, but please believe me. Do not buy!

Seem to be O.K., November 29, 2006
This review is from: SanDisk 1 GB Secure Digital SD Card (SDSDB-1024, Bulk Package) (Personal Computers)
I ordered four of these items, and so far, they have done well. No failures, yet. Although I had a CF card of this brand that failed (my only card that did, ever), luckily before I had used it on a trip. San Disk gave me a bigger capacity card, promptly, by a phone call to their tech support, and I was satisfied. I do bring along back-up, so I didn't miss any shots due to less memory.
It may be better to have several smaller cards, as you don't have all your eggs in one basket. Terrible to have just one 4 GB card, and then it fails. I tried then to have different cards from different manufacturers, but because of the good deal, here, decided to buy all my cards the same way. Just can't find a better price! Now, memory cards are available everywhere, so I can just go to a store and buy another one, should one or two fail on a road trip.
My new 7 MP Nikon Coolpix manual, then, says a higher speed card may be required to prevent quits during TV mode recording, but I shot once for 40 seconds, and that came out fine. They'll be good up to about 11 minutes on one 1 GB card, but I haven't needed to shoot that long. I'm probably going to get a high speed card when I can get another good deal. The lowering price is now a better, great bargain, and if I should need more SD cards, I know where to get them!
Thank you, Amazon!

BUYERS BEWARE, March 11, 2007
This review is from: SanDisk 1 GB Secure Digital SD Card (SDSDB-1024, Bulk Package) (Personal Computers)
I PURCHASED THE SANDISK 1GB FROM EEK TECHNOLOGY FOR MY CANON POWERSHOT A510. THE PACKAGE ARRIVED PROMPTLY AFTER BEING CHARGED $12.00 FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING WHEN THE ACTUAL COST OF POSTAGE WAS ONLY .67 CENTS. MY COMPLAINT BROUGHT A REFUND OF ONLY 4.00, LEAVING THE COMPANY A WHOPPING $8.00 TO STICK THE ITEM IN A BUBBLE ENVELOPE AND SHIP IT.....A VERY NICE PROFIT.
NOW THE REALLY BAD NEWS......THE CARD SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. I FORMATTED IT, TRIED IT IN FRIENDS CAMERAS AND DID EVERY THING IMAGINABLE BUT TO NO AVAIL. WHEN I CONTACTED EEK THEY REPLIED THAT THE 30 DAY RETURN PERIOD HAD EXPIRED ( ONLY BY HOURS DEPENDING ON WHEN THE PERIOD BEGINS ) AND THAT I NOW HAD TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH SANDISK.
THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS AND I WOULD CAUTION OTHERS WHO SENSE A "GOOD BUY" TO REMEMBER THE OLD SAYING " YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR".
