3.0 out of 5 stars Great brand and card, however..., August 7, 2008

By	Calvin (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

It is NOT a retail package and only ships as just the SDHC memory card in its plastic storage case. Not a big deal until you run into problems; hopefully not.

The retail package includes the following critical items:
1) Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty
2) Data Recovery Software mini CD (if you accidentally format your card with pictures on it, stop using the card immediately and use this software to recover your lost data!)

Unfortunately, at the time, Amazon did not offer a retail package of this card. You may want to check elsewhere.

After trying several other brands, I'm a huge fan of the SanDisk Extreme III series of SDHC and CF cards. Very fast (faster than most cameras) and very reliable. Can download at nearly 20 MB/s using a high-speed card reader. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, July 28, 2008

By	P. Wohr (Tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

its 8 Gigs and its fast. This card can hold tons of pictures around 1400 full size Jpgs from my 12.1 mp XSI. Only way this card would likely run out of space is if u never clean it or if u shoot all RAW all day. Even then it holds a lot. If u have the green for this card you won't be disappointed. Only card bigger is the 16 Gb.
