Summary: Great deal
Review: Buy this. Works well and a good deal for the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works Great.
Review: Camera makers bundle a small amount of memory, in my case 8 MB. It is a must to order more memory. This SanDisk 128 MB CF card has worked great for me. I'm able to store 162 images at the highest setting. This card has worked over and over again, I have had zero problems with this card. It mounts for me in WindowsXP, and MacOS X. Works great with iPhoto, etc...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very Fast... But Not always Dependable.
Review: Flash Cards, and other media storage types for that matter, can sometimes fail. This is usually cause by user error.

I use this product with my digital camera.

When using a digital camera, you may find that if you turn your camera off (while it is writing memory to the card; just after a photo being shot) you'll find that you may get fumbled results when trying to read the card later.

Granted this does not ruin the card, rather it ruins the data on the card. Formatting it resolves this issue, (but again, you may not want this to happen when taking wedding pictures!)

You may find other parallel problems such as:
1.Switching Modes (on the camera) just after taking a photo...
2.Opening the "flash card" door when camera is on...
3.Turning the camera off when its doing something with the card (ie: writing memory) as stated above.
4.Low Battery might cause inconsistent results in data.

I might say though, that when i did have my "run-in" with one of these problems i contacted the company who manufacured the product, and they were very helpful. They had me send them the card, and they recovered all the images i originally lost. (i ended up only loosing one of the photos, the one which i was wrong to manage the camera incorrectly).

Something i might say (that gives this product 3 stars) is that the data transfer rate is faster than any other means i've ever seen. Data is dragged and dropped easily and effectively (through a USB adapter).

Summary: Very convenient
Review: I bought both a 64M and 128M ROM and use them with a ZiO! Flash ROM Reader/Writer to back up files that will no longer fit on a floppy, and that it's inconvenient to backup to CD-R. The ROMs are reasonably fast, unless you're copying large numbers of small files, and then it can take a long time to transfer all the files.

I've done a test with 100 megs of data, and it took about 2 hours to copy it all over. Also, copying large numbers of small files is slower than a few big files, for some reason. I usually don't need to transfer that much data, however, so they work fine for me basically as "fat floppies." I'm not sure what the speed on this ROM is, but I know it's not the fastest one since there are more expensive ones at the same capacity that cost more.

Overall a fine product. If I remember right, SANdisk may have invented this type of Flash ROM, and so I'm happy to give them my patronage for this product.

Summary: How slow can you go?
Review: I bought this 128 meg card for my nikon coolpix 990 figuring to boost up my number of pictures I take from an 80 meg lexar card. I heard sandisk was an overall good company so I decided to try it. Once I ran out of room on my 80 meg lexar card, I popped in my new 128 sandisk card and started to take pictures. Boy was I surprised when it took the camera forever to take another picture. I usually have my digital camera in a mode to take many pictures once I hold down the button but it took over twice as long to snap those pictures. Also in play mode when looking at the pictures I took it seemed like the images were pixelated for a second then became more detailed. Oh well I guess this memory card will go into my mp3 player instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding reliability ...
Review: I bought this card about 18 months ago, and I've taken several thousand pictures with it. It's been taken overseas to experience a humid Scandinavian summer, and it's been used extensively the furnace that some people refer to as southern Arizona. I have several other Sandisk CF cards, and this being one of my oldest ones, I've got "nothing" but good things to say about it (except for the speed). :-)

Pros:
* Durable and extremely reliable - Sandisk is without a doubt the most reliable brand on the market for CF cards.
* Can be found very reasonably priced - usually very good value for money.

Cons:
* Just about the slowest CF card on the market.

Personally, I'm all about reliability. I wouldn't trade my Sandisk cards for any other card, even if the price was lower or performance higher. A card that corrupts your pictures even on rare occations is a useless card in my mind. This or any other of my Sandisk CF cards have never given me any problems. I also have several friends that have used Sandisk CF cards for several years, and between us we've never had any problems with any of our Sandisk CF cards.

I would highly recommend this card, and despite its speed, I would say it's a good buy. Because of its outstanding reliability, I give it 5 stars!!!

Summary: the best storage media
Review: I bought this for my wife's Canon Elph digital camera...It's perfect...she has trouble filling it up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent CompactFlash Card!
Review: I bought this product when I bought my Kodak DX3600 Digital Camera. This is a great CF card for this camera. You can take over 700 pictures on good resolution and over 200 on best resolution. It prints great 8 by 10 pictures. This has tons of space and is worth the money spent. This is a great CF card!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SanDisk + Olympus = GREAT FUN
Review: I have a SanDisk 128 and a 256 MB card which I now use in my Olympus C-5050 camera. Previously I owned a Canon G1 and use the same cards as before. During the two years I owned the Canon I took over 3500 images without any difficulty. I was worried about the Olympus because it is 5 megapixels and I though this would bog down the memory card. Despite 3 megabyte files my "old" SanDisk CompactFlash cards work great and I am able to shoot away without any waiting.

I use an ImageMate card reader to copy files to my PC where they I can edit and store them temporarily before making a copy of the images on a CD for long term storage.

I have used SanDisk cards from capacities of 16 to 256 MB in 4 different digital cameras I have owned over the years and the performance and reliability are excellent. Over the years SanDisk has also become quite price competitive, so you get both value and performance.

Sony is also using SanDisk flash memory in their newest Memory Stick, so that is enough of an endorsement for me!

Digital photography rocks!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good media, right price
Review: I have one of these for use in a Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera.
At the highest resolution, 2048x1536, you can average about 100 shots on the card before you have to start deleting pics to free up space.

Who needs such a huge card? Well, I prefer to use a larger CF card and take the highest-rez pic possible, rather than play around adjusting resolutions out in the cold and rain. Who knows - you may get that 'killer pic' you want to blow up to 11x14, and only realize it once you're back at your computer! You can always rescale a picture down later.

With this card, I can go on vacation and take a week's worth of pics, no problem, no fussing around with swapping cards. This card is great!
