I purchased this card for a Canon A95 digital camera, primarily because Canon sells this card at their website and because I read somewhere that SimpleTech makes the cards that come with (some?) Canon digital cameras.

You can read about the card's specifications elsewhere, just let me say that this is my second SimpleTech card (I also have a 256 MB SD card that I use in a HP 49G+ calculator), and both cards work as well as advertised. I will definitely buy from SimpleTech again.

I had a 512 simpletech card, and loved it. I got this 1gb card a week ago and it has worked great. The 512 card was used very heavily for nearly 2 years, and so I purchased from simpletech again. The card maxs out the meter which suggests how many pictures I have remaining to take, unless it is on the highest setting. It says I can fit roughly 950 pictures from this 3.0mp camera on the highest settings, but I have not been able to take that many yet! Batteries only last for 300 pictures, so I probably don't need a card this big. It is nice for videos though, and it can hold about 15-20 minutes of video at 640x480 15fps. It also seems to write very quickly. Much quicker than my lexar card. For most users, I would suggest having 2x512 cards rather than 1x1gb. Don't keep all your eggs in 1 basket.

This review is from: SimpleTech 1GB CompactFlash Type I Memory Card (STI-CF/1GB) (Personal Computers)

I ordered the SimpleTech 1GB CF for my Canon Digital Rebel XT because the price was great and because I had read that SimpleTech made Canon-labeled cards.

Two weeks after placing my order, with no word from SimpleTech and no tracking number, I contacted SimpleTech via the Amazon website. I got a very prompt response explaining that they never received the order from Amazon (some technical glitch) but to make it up to me, they would refund my shipping charges and send the card overnight.

The card arrived as promised. I put it in my camera and... nothing. I put it in a card reader and got an error. I contacted SimpleTech tech support through their website and got a very prompt response saying that the card was dead and they would gladly replace it. They sent me a UPS shipping label for the return and a few days later I had a new card.

The new card works perfectly and, although the fates conspired against me, I would definitely recommend SimpleTech to anyone looking for an affordable, top-notch product. Their customer service was extremely quick in responding and they replaced the defective card quickly and without hassle.
