Great Buy, June 12, 2003
This review is from: SimpleTech STI-SD/128 128MB SecureDigital Card (Personal Computers)
I was waiting for a good deal on a 128MB secure digital card and the offer for this card came through my gold box coupon. I decided to give it a try since the price was so right, even without the rebate offer. I tried it out on my Kodak digital camera (DX4330) and it worked fine right from the start. With the card formatted, the camera said I had only about 103 pictures at the highest quality (3.1M pixels). But I think the camera just gives worst case scenario. I ended up taking about 175 test pictures at the high resolution. I downloaded the test pictures onto my computer and examined them carefully - they looked great with no problems whatsoever. Also, the total size of all 175 pictures was around 123MB. Guess I lost about 5MB, but I think that's expected. (With the same camera and a 64MB card, I never get more than 62MB of total pictures captured). Sent in for my rebate and will update here when I get it. Even without the rebate I think that this was a great buy! Update on rebate - got it about 8 weeks later. Took a little long, but it finally came. Really glad I decided to try this out!

Great card - but only 122 MB of memory, September 26, 2003
This review is from: SimpleTech STI-SD/128 128MB SecureDigital Card (Personal Computers)
The card works great and had no problems using it. However, I did find that it only registers as 122 MB. I think the difference is that the card is not 128 MB, but rather 128,000,000 Bytes. Usually 1 MB is 1024 x 1024 Bytes. I think this should be clarified on the product description. Another thing - even though Amazon's description states that it is over 10 MB/sec, the 128 MB is really only 2.5 to 3 Mb/sec. I think their 256 MB and 512 MB cards are faster. Check the online manual for details. Other than that - no problem!
