Rating: Summary: Especially becareful of the ones from China Review: Like some of the reviewers here I replaced the original card but still had the same problem of 'corrupted data' after taking about 40 pictures with my canon digital camera. The pictures either got lost or distorted after this happnened and I could no longer take any more pictures.This ruined my very expensive vacation in Italy where I lost 40-50 pictures taken there and could no longer shoot any! Both cards had "China" on the back and I heard from somewhere to esecially look out for Sandisk made in China. I strongly suggest that you stay away from Sandisk if you don't want to lose data or expensive pictures like me.
Rating: Summary: angry Review: May be I'm just unlucky to get a lemon from a reputable manufacturer of SD card. Things (#$^&*) like this happen, but I'm still a bit angry. Data got wiped out for no reasons several times during a few months' span. Word documents can simply turn into a page of Y's and become unreadable. Then one day it just died, uttering an error message with its last breath...

Rating: Summary: A Good Deal, But Shop Around Review: Memory cards are coming down in price. I sold my 64 MB Olympus card when I got a new camera with video capabilities. This card has so much memory you really need nothing else. It can be used with cameras, camcorders, hand held PC's and some audio players. I don't care about how many minutes of video I can get (it's a lot), but I do care about the number of photos I can store. If you want to take HIGH quality photos, you'll get @ 110 photos; NORMAL quality photos, you can get @ 210; BASIC quality photos will give you @ 560 photos. This is with 6 million pixels (2832 X 2128). At this rate, even BASIC (4 X 6) photos will print well. This is a very competitive price for this card, but I would still shop around. It's also very important to check that this card is compatible with your camera and PC processor. I have no problems, but I've been lucky.
Rating: Summary: Record breaker Review: Short short review: Sandisk 256MB SD Card lifespan: 3 days. Replacement Simpletech 256MB SD Card lifespan: over a month and counting. It's your call.
Rating: Summary: Incompatable with HP 315 camera and WIN XP Review: The OS will detect only 20MB of the volume size IF you are using this card for an HP camera and WIN 2000/XP. The work around is not pretty. Buy a card scanner.

Rating: Summary: The Second Best Card I have Owned Review: This card works great. It is fast and works great with my digtal camera. I have had not problems with the card. It can read data as fast as my camera can write the the SD card. It also works great in my HP 2215 iPAQ. The only card that I have seen that works better is the SANDisk 512 MB card that I have purchased. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: Works great when it works... now it doesn't Review: Worked great for a couple months, pulled it out one day and it corrupted all of the data on the disk. All the JPGs and MP3s were garbled and unusable. Now that seems to happen at least once every couple days. It worked fine for a month, and i've read many reports of other users now who have had corrpution problems with the Sd disks. In it's current condition for me, it's unusable.
