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

By	Kesselring (Utah United States) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value and performance in Canon 40D, July 4, 2008

By	J. L. Suggs (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use this card in my Canon 40D DSLR and think it's great. I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this card due to its low price, but it has proven itself plenty fast enough for my camera and most likely for any camera that's not UDMA-compatible (and even then, I can't imagine needing more speed). I shoot in RAW+JPEG mode, so my average photo file size is around 15MB, and this card doesn't slow me down even when shooting action at 6.5 frames per second. That's more stress than most cameras will ever demand from their card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for the price., January 27, 2008

By	Mark Rogers (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
