4.0 out of 5 stars Great Price and Performance, March 19, 2008

This review is from: Transcend 4 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card TS4GCF133 (Personal Computers)

I use this compact flash card with the Canon 20D. I picked this particular brand because of its price. It's frustrating to pay top dollar for new technology only to have something faster and large storage capacity come out at a cheaper price is a relatively short time.

The Transcend 4GB card didn't disappoint. I tried it just a few days after receiving it at a track and field event at the local high school. The amount of photos this card will hold will depend upon your camera settings and on the ISO level you set your camera to. (The lower the ISO or light sensitivity setting the smaller the file size.)

The card performed well and one must remember that card speed is only half of the equation. Your camera's internal buffer also plays a role. I had been using an 80x speed card and this particular card I'm reviewing is a 133x speed. I didn't notice that much of a difference in terms of writing time to my card while using the shutter and I think I was faced with a buffer issue. I was taking continous shots of hurdle jumpers and long jumpers and taking as many photos per second as the camera could handle. It was nice having a large card to handle all the photos and not have to worrying about swapping cards.

I think this card is a terrific deal and I think I will get another!

The only reason that I didn't give this card 5 stars is because its not a 266X, which is not the cards fault, it just means it is not the fastest card out there. But for the price, I'm in LOVE with 133X!! Such a great deal. Oh, the card works fine, too. It works just like a memory card should. It stores stuff. Stuff that stays there until you erase said stuff.

This is a good card considering the price. After about 1000 shots over a few weeks, I did encounter an error on my 40D while shooting that required me to reformat the card and lose about 20 shots. Thankfully I was able to redo the shots, but this incident doesn't give me much confidence in this card.

As others have said it does not seem that this card is actually 133x speed.
