5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, Works as it should, February 27, 2006

What can you say about memory? Well it works and my camera seems to like it. Using it in a Canon 10D. My camera will take bursts of photos and the card gets written to properly and quickly. I haven't measured the time. I realize this isnt an 80x card or whatever, but I don't have an 80x camera, so it suits me fine. I have used it at sporting events and haven't missed a shot because of the card being written to, so I think it does as it should. I have several other Kingston cards, starting all the way back with I think a 32mb chip, then a 256 then a 512 and now a gig chip. I think they are a good value and I have even washed one in my pants pocket, run it through a drier and it still works, not that I'm trying to promote using your memory like pocket lint, but it's good to know they are build well!

I have the Canon Rebel. I had the same problem where files were corrupted. Also, when clearing the card, some pics stayed filed. I am not happy with this flashcard at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent card for the price, June 11, 2005

By	Tezza "Tezza" (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this card for my Canon 20D digital slr and I've been very happy with it.

I got it on sale for $59 after rebates which was an awesome price in March, 2005.

While not the fastest card around, it's been rock solid. Never had a problem. The only time I notice the lack of speed is transferring it off my camera to my PC.

I use a firewire connection, and I can unload the entire card (1gb worth of photos) in 7 minutes. Yah, I could spend a lot more money to cut that time in half, but basically I go get a cup of tea while it's unloading. Most of the time, I'm unloading only a half full card so its a 3 minute wait.

I don't notice the difference in speed while the card is in my camera and I'm taking picture. I don't, however do a lot of 5 fps shooting, nor do I use RAW format much. When I'm shooting the best quality jpegs I never notice any write time to the card because it's all being buffered by my 20D.

I'm hoping Kingston gets a 2gb card happening, on sale, for under $100 and I buy one of those.

Kingston, most underrated buy in the compact flash world, as far as I'm concerned.
