Rating: Summary: Viking Makes a Quality Compact Flash Product Review: Since getting a 128 MB Compact Flash card by Viking to use with a 3.3 megapixel Canon G 1 digital camera this past June, my whole family has been pleased with the quality of the card and the fairly rapid data transfer from the card to our PowerBook computers. So far, so good. The warranty on the card is for five years per the website. We use a different mfgr's PCMCIA device to hold the card for data transfer and it is so easy to use. We just hope the card continues to work as easily in the future (5 years down the line) as it does now with no data loss. (We prefer equipment that uses compact flash to smart media technology as compact flash cards hold so much more in less space).A recent afternoon of picture taking (about 33 shots) by part of our household (outdoor waterfall and state park panorama photography, but without the wide angle lens) at highest resolution only filled up half the card, so we were pleased. If they had brought the wide angle lens, they still could have gotten all the shots. The card is comparable in speed to another card made by the originator of compact flash technology (SD), but not the fastest speed on the market, yet good enough for us (we are talking mere seconds for data transfer with that PCMCIA device!). We've found that if you take pictures for fun and are a serious hobbyist, but not a pro, a good size card is 96 to 128 MB--so this 128 MB card is a handy size to have (pros need a bigger card of at least 256 MB due to non-stop shooting). We carry a couple of 96 or 128 cards and can then take enough pictures on each card without having to change cards per se while shooting a lot of pictures at one location. ...
Rating: Summary: 128mb Viking compact flash card Review: I recently tried using the Viking flash card. It is giving corrupt pictures. I know it is the card, because I have another card and it is working fine. When I download the photos, some of the them have numerous small rectangular shape color boxes all the photos. Sometimes there is only 1/4 of the photo showing...some of the pictures have wavy lines and I can't tell what the picture was suppose to be in the first place.....
Rating: Summary: A bargain! Review: I purchased this compactflash card to use with my Nikon Coolpix 995. I've used it extensively and I cannot detect a difference in performance with a compactflash card for which I spent nearly twice as much. It works great and it's cheap. What's not to love about it?
Rating: Summary: Great Deal Review: I have 2 of these. They work well in both IPAQs and Canon digital cameras.
Rating: Summary: Card is OK,... Review: ...ith an 8MB card that could store a measly 16 photos at the default resolution. This card can store 220+! I'm fairly new to this tecnology and figured that the bigger the card, the slower it would be to shoot, browse, format, etc. The card formatted in a flash (pardon the pun), and it just whizzes along when I take pictures. Forget all the other cards and sizes. Go for the gusto and get the full 128 MB!
Rating: Summary: Zab Review: I love this card. I keep my Canon Digital Elph S110 set on the highest resolution/highest quality and have never filled this card up on a weekend trip. One day I took 120+ pictures, it is so easy to delete the ones you don't want afterwards. With the holidays and longer trips coming up I am purchasing a second 128mb card to double my capacity, you can't beat this price.... I also have the Viking card reader to speed up downloading and save wear and tear on the camera. I am very pleased with it. It works just like an external hard drive... It was a good deal then andit is an even better value now. Go with it! The best thing is thatyou will have comfort in knowing that you have the capacity to takethe pictures when you need to (you'll not miss out on those preciousmoments that will never repeat themselves). END
Rating: Summary: Good Price/MB ratio Review: The formatted size of this card is 121MB only, not 128MB. Maybe Viking is using the same calculation as in other storage devices like HDD? Anyway, on my new Canon PowerShot G2, it can store 42 RAW images. It is not bad. Remember to calculate the price/MB ratio: It is very close to 340MB microdrive. Moreover, solid state device (RAM) is always faster than mechincal devices (HDD) and draw less power. I personally choose this because the price and performance is right. Other sizes (64MB, 256MB, or microdrives from IBM etc.) are not as good as this... as of today, of course (10/23/01)

Rating: Summary: Great CF card Review: I've used this card for months, and have yet to be disappointed. It works well in both my Kodak and Nikon digital cameras. I have never felt that it was too slow or unreliable. I'd buy again.
