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!

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!

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".

This review is not about the product, it's about the seller (ChiTek). The product is awesome (hence the 5 stars, I won't hurt a good product's rating for a lousy seller) - bought one at K-Mart for alot more $$ 2 years ago - still going strong! If you're thinking of buying it here, PLEASE read on...

If an offer seems too good to be true, it usually is. The price for this 1GB SD card (sold and shipped from ChiTek) is only $1.30... wow, pretty good, right? WELL... just to see what the shipping would be I went into checkout for 6 of these and 4 of the 1GB microSD's at $2.33 each, also from ChiTek, so you know they'll ship them together. Here's what came up (copied and pasted from actual check out page) - thank goodness I didn't accidentally hit "PLACE ORDER":

Items: $19.18
Shipping & Handling: $65.39

Total Before Tax: $84.57
Estimated Tax:* $0.00

Order Total: $84.57

Now, I understand that $85 isn't a bad price for what totals 10GB of storage, but that's not the point. $65.39 TO SHIP 10 LITTLE TEENY CARDS IN WHAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A SINGLE YELLOW BUBBLE-WRAP ENVELOPE??? I don't care what they put them in - that's ludicrous. They didn't combine the shipping charges, but they'll put them all in the same envelope or box (was standard ground shipping, btw) for less than $10 and pocket the other $55. ChiTek wants to pull you in with a great price in hopes that you'll want to buy a bunch to stock up and won't pay attention at check out to the total. Bad business, guys, really bad business.

I bought this with a great price... but beware the shipping was more than the disk... 12.00!!!

This is a $2.99(?!!!) item with a $6.95 shipping charge PER ITEM in fine print from some non-Amazon company. If you order 10 you will be charged $98.00, not the $40.00 which you would expect! Misleading pricing?? You be the judge... Personally I would prefer the item be offered for $9.95 shipping included.

I saw this when it was only $6, and I thought, "Hey what the heck, I'll order this." So when I received it we took so many pictures that it totalled up to almost 380 photos. Just love this.

I couldn't believe the price of $2.95 ea. for the "SanDisk SDSDB-1024-A10 1 GB Secure Digital Card (Bulk Package)," sold through Digital Media Source. However, once I got to the final check-out page I saw why they could offer such a low price. The Shipping & Handling for 4 of them was $24.96, more than $6 each!! Needless to say, I did not order any.

I bought three of the bulk package cards for $2.49 each. I did not pay attention to the shipping, but just discovered Handling and Shipping was $24.42, first class in a bubble-wrap envelope from New York to Indiana. So the final cost was about $10 each! It came from Digital Media Outlet.

Delivered as promised. Works great in my HP digital camera.
