Summary: Works great with my Canon S400
Review: 256MB SD Memory card gives my Sharp Vodafone V801SH (celluar phone) up to 428 minutes of video recording capability in 176 x 144 (QCIF) resolution and close to 4.5 hours of recording time in stereo at 128 kbps rate and up to 17.5 hours of plain mono voice recording. Good quality and fast recovery rate of high resolution (858 x 1144) digital photo on the V801 also. Great piece of memory card!

Summary: THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED
Review: After using this card for 4 months, My Nikon Coolpix 3100, can no longer read this card. I took about 300 pictures and having problems. I also have a Lexar 128 MB card with no problem, which I have been using before the San Disk. I sent an email to Sandisk, to see if there is anyway to do a Digital Recovery....
It might be economical to buy two 128 Mb cards, if one goes bad, then you have a backup..

Summary: Beware of Toshiba e740 compatibility problems
Review: Great product @ a fantastics price....but beware of compatibility issues if you are buying it for the Toshiba e740 PDA. Both Toshiba & SanDisk have admitted problems with this combination.

Summary: How many pictures will it store?
Review: How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDCFB-256-A10 256MB CompactFlash Card, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Summary: Great deal
Review: I bought a Kodak Easyshare 4300 (3mpx) camera recently and found that it was short of memory. I ahd 16 mb with the camera which was not enough for more than 15 pictures at highest resolution.

But with card I can take around 240 pictures of highest resolution. Ofcourse one might wonder whether you would take so many pictures before you can download them.

If you go for a trip I doubt if you will have access to a computer. Even if you do you need to install teh software on that computer and download them. So if you are going for a skiing trip with your family and would like to capture every moment, you need atleast 128 mb. 128 mb is good but might fall short if you want to take small videos.

So I strongly recommend this card as there is not much difference in the price between 128 mb and 256 mb. Also if your digital camera has the facility of videos then this card is a MUST.

And ofcourse you might wonder if the prices might go down. But you should also count the invaluable moments you can capture and share immediately with all your family and friends. Also I dont think you will get a better deal than this for atleast 6 months. Dont miss the mail in rebate offer from amazon.com

Summary: A good buy!!!
Review: I bought this for my Aiptek Pocket DV2CC5 camera and it has made my life so much easier. It saves way more pictures and video clips than it would have by itself. And the best thing is that I can take the card, and put it in another camera if I wanted to.

Summary: Best value for money of any CF card...
Review: I have two Sandisk 256MB CF cards, and I'm very happy with them. My oldest Sandisk 256MB CF card is about a year old. Between the two of them, I've taken several thousand pictures, and so far neither has given me any problems. My oldest card has proven its reliability in the combination of humid Scandinavian summer weather, a lot of hiking in southern Arizona's blasting heat, and some really cold Colorado winter weather. It has performed exceptionally well under all of these conditions.

Pros:
* Durable and exceptionally reliable - Sandisk does without a doubt have the most reliable CF cards on the market.
* This card is due to its reliability and price, without a doubt the best value for money of any CF card on the market today.

Cons:
* Molasses in winter pretty much describes the speed of this card. Seriously though, tests show that unless you're transferring files to your computer via a USB 2.0 interface, the read/write speed between the camera and the CF card does not nearly exploit the potential of any good card. There might be a 20-30% difference between a fast and a slow card when it comes to in-camera read/writes.

This card is extremely reliable, and looking at reliability+price (you can get really good deals on this card) vs. speed, I'd say this is the best value for money of any CF card on the market today. I give it an unconditional 5 stars!!!
