Product Description

Viking Components

Go to the Memory Finder to see a listing of the digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players, photo printers, or other products that are guaranteed compatible with this Viking product. The Memory Finder contains an up-to-date list of the devices that work with this memory.

Benefits of Adding Flash Memory
Increased Speed: With a larger flash card you will spend less time transferring files to or from your computer or laptop and more time taking pictures with your digital camera, listening to music on your digital audio player, or storing more information on your PDA.

Increased Power: Increasing the memory storage for your digital camera, PDA, or MP3 player will enable you to do more with a device. For example, if you are taking pictures on your digital camera using the highest resolution and highest quality setting, an image taken from a 2-megapixel camera can be as large as 6 MB. This can eat up storage space quickly, so it's easy to see the benefits of increasing your device's flash memory.

Guaranteed Compatibility
It is important to purchase memory that is guaranteed to be compatible with a device because of the many subtle differences between the hundreds of different brands, types, and configurations of digital devices on the market. A product that accepts one particular brand or capacity of memory does not necessarily accept another brand or capacity--and there's nothing more frustrating than buying something you can't use.

Because compatibility is so critically important, Amazon has forged a strategic relationship with Viking Components to create the Memory Finder. The Memory Finder is a tool that can help you find memory that works with your specific product, taking the guesswork out of buying memory.

Quality Products
Viking Components physically tests their flash cards with hundreds of devices including laptops, PDAs, digital audio players, and digital cameras. When you purchase a Viking flash card, you can be assured that it will perform flawlessly with your specific device. Furthermore, Viking uses only the highest quality components to manufacture their flash memory, which results in fast, reliable, durable flash products.

Viking Components has its own registered ISO 9000 certified facilities. ISO 9000 is a family of standards approved by the International Standards Organization that provide a framework for quality management and quality assurance. ISO authorized and accredited registrars frequently visit our ISO 9000 facilities to perform internal quality audits to verify that all quality activities comply with documented procedures and to measure the effectiveness of Viking's quality systems, including the organizational structure, responsibilities, procedures, processes and resources for implementing quality management.

Viking has established and maintains documented procedures for handling, storage, packaging, preservation and delivery of product to ensure the highest quality and complete standardization compliance during each process. Viking's ISO 9000 certification guarantees that Viking's quality processes and standards conform to specific requirements to ensure consistency of product for customers worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars fast and versatile, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Viking 64 MB CompactFlash Card (Personal Computers)

This is the most useful item i have in my bag of electronic gadgets. I use it for my Pocket PC for extra memory. I downloaded numerous ebooks in it (currently i have 20) and there's still a lot of room for more. I use it also for my digital camera and it's fast and have lots of storage even for the highest quality setting. it's also used in my mp3 player (which i bought before the pocket pc) and it holds hours of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars 64MB card - 155 pictures for a 1MP Kodak DC240 camera, June 23, 2001

Well, I had no idea how much room a 1 MP picture would take up on a CF card. I know it is a combination of compression and format, but I never really did the math.

GREAT PRICE: I bought this card, number one, because the price was great. Now the price is even greater when you get it for about 2MB for $1.

NUMBER OF PICTURES THAT CAN BE STORED:
155 in a DC240 with 1MP.
55 in a DX3900 with 3.1 MP.
I never knew the MP versus MB formula, this practical application helped me out. I understand however, much depends on your compression and format. This was all .jpg files and on Kodak cameras.

SEEMS COMPATIBLE FOR PDA AND PC:
I know one of the concerns on these cards is compatibility. Since I have had it, I have put it in an @migo Pocket PC, on the PCMCIA card on an IBM laptop and a Kodak DX3600 and a HP315. It worked great.

Nice card and a nice size, I'm set for awhile now.

The one problem I have had with this 64M card is that it is slow. My Nikon Coolpix990 was supplied with a 16M Lexar card that has no problem keeping up, but is too small. I haven't timed the difference exactly, but the Viking takes about twice as long to record a picture (making it tough to take many pictures in a row), and locks up the camera so that I can't use the "pause" or "instant delete" features.

In the end though, the price is right, and I certainly wouldn't be willing to pay double the price for a faster name-brand card unless I were a professional photographer.
