Customer Reviews:

Prone to card read errors.

After daily use in my Pentax K-7 DSLR for about 1 month this card has already developed card read errors. Sometimes when I plug it into my camera it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it locks up and suddenly refuses to write any new images halfway through a photo shoot.

Might be fine for a weekend photographer, but if you use your camera on a daily basis this card will eventually fail and cause you to loose data.

Great price, but I can't recommend something so prone to errors.
I wish I had ponied up the extra money and bought a couple Sandisk 8GB EXTREME III SDHC Cards instead.

Great value

I use this card in a Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder. 1080 videos shot at 30fps require class 6 speed, and this card delivers nicely. I did have to wait a while to get my card as these are a hot item. Maybe a week? Best of all, not in that stupid anti-shoplifting/display packaging.

Works as advertised

Nothing to complain about. It's large enough and fast enough to do the job, and it hasn't failed yet.

Was fine for 8 months - then died

Bought this with my Canon FS200 video camera and it worked fine for about 8 months, then it croaked. Quit working and I tried pretty much everything to reinitialize it with no luck. Bad boot sector parameters unable to recover.

Probably won't buy a Transcend for a while.

Fast data transfer and good value!

The capacity means I can take tons of 10mp shots and HD videos without switching cards or dumping to laptop. With multiple kids in sports and constantly needing to take a lot of video, this card has stored everything I have taken over many events and many files. The data transfer is fast and the data capture is accurate with no issues to date. Highly recommend this card.
