Rating: Summary: Considering buying Simpletech, But According to Nikon....... Review: After reading serveral posts about simpletech cards having trouble working in Nikon digital cameras, I decided to called Nikon myself. They told me, and this is from the horses mouth. That Simpletechs flash cards use a hitachi controller, the fastest one on the market today. These controllers don't work well with Nikon cameras because the hitachi controller writes the different parts of the image to the flash card simultaenously giving the card greater speed. But the contollers in the Nikon cameras do not write the image simlutaenously instead they write the image one piece at a time, this is slower, but it works according to Nikon. I then asked why other maunfacuters cards work with Nikon and they said that those manufactuers use their own controller tweeked to work with Nikon. The tech guy at Nikon happened to mention that Nikon will soon be introducing a new line of digital cameras with the new faster controller that will work fast and flawlessly with the simpletech cards. Lastly, he assured me that there is nothing wrong or inferior about Simpletech cards. I bought one after all!There's my 2 cent to this playground argument!

Rating: 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 SimpleTech STI-CF/128 128MB CompactFlash Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 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.
Rating: Summary: More Speed and Storage Review: I bought SimpleTech's 128 MB Compact Flash card and have been really happy with it. I use it with my Canon Powershot and enjoy the ability to store many more pixs. The transfer rate is fast too. I took in on vacation and couldn't take enough pixs to fill it up. I'd recommend this card.
Rating: Summary: Fast, Cheap, Dependable Review: I bought this simpletech card after a very dissapointing exeperience with a 128 MB lexar card (the red labled one). The lexar was very slow in both picture taking and picture review modes on my Canon s200 Digital Elph. This card is much faster then the above mentioned lexar card, and has proven to work pefectly in my camera. It is also one of the cheapest cards on the market, albiet prices are dropping everyday, so its hard to make such a sweeping statement. If you own a Canon camera, and want a good, cheap, fast, dependable CF card, then the simpletech is a very good choice. Also keep in mind that simpletech cards come with a lifetime warranty versus limited year warranties of some other makers. This made me feel a bit better when purchasing such an inexpensive card.
Rating: Summary: Great stuff! Review: I have a Canon digital camera and decided that I wanted to have digital photo albums. So I went with the SimpleTech flash card and it works great! Going to get some more so that I can have a different flash card or "album" for different events.
Rating: Summary: No problems, works great! Review: I have a Compaq iPaq PDA, and with all the contact info I need to put in, I decided to expand the storage space with this card. Now I have all the info in with enought room to add more!
Rating: Summary: Avoid this CF card if you have a Nikon Review: I have a Coolpix 4300. This CF card runs just fine but it is slower than a same capacity Lexar 12x card. If you are not taking high resolution pictures all the time then this card should not be a problem.
Rating: Summary: Write is slow Review: I have one 16 MB compact flash and now I got the 128 MB. I noticed it takes more time to save a picture on the 128 MB flash. Especially after I had taken about 20 pix.
