Rating: Summary: quick & easy Review: I just popped it into my Nikon Coolpix 775 and started snapping. Now I can take hundreds of pictures.
Rating: Summary: Good to use with Axim X5 Review: I poped into my Axim and downloaded 25 songs (approx 5 MB/song) and it worked like a champ. No problem so far. But instead of 128 MB it showed the total capacity as 122.10 MB. I sent an email to sandisk customer service and I got the following answer from them. This might be helpful for you.The operating system, when reading the size of the card, reports a slightly different capacity than what is listed on the card's label Definitions of a Megabyte: 1) Operating Systems commonly define a Megabyte (MB) as: 2 to the 20th power (1,024KB--Kilobytes). 2) DiskDrive and Flash Memory Card Manufacturers commonly define a MB as one million bytes (exactly 1,000,000 bytes). Unformatted (Capacity) Also known as drive byte capacity before formatting. The Maximum capacity of disk drive before formatting equals [ (# Cylinders) X (# Heads) X (# Sectors) X (# Bytes per Track) ] Example: 64MB CompactFlash Card consists of: 490 Cylinders 8 Heads 32 Sectors 512 Bytes per Track This equates to: [ (490) X (8) X (32) X (512) ] = 64,225,280 Unformatted Capacity: 64,225,280 bytes Formatted Capacity: 63,934,464 bytes (User Data) Cause: Disk Drive Companies such as SanDisk define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,000,000 BYTES. Operating Systems define 1 MEGABYTE as 1,048,576 BYTES (1024K X 1024K or 2 to the 20th power). Example: SanDisk 64MB CompactFlash Card being read by Microsoft Operating System. SanDisk Total Formatted Capacity divided by 1 MB (as defined by the Operating System) equates to the following: 63,934,464 BYTES / 1,048,576 BYTES = 60,972,656 BYTES, 60.9MB displayed by OS.
Rating: Summary: Good buy for the price Review: I received a 16MB card with mi Nikon Coolpix 2000 which wasn't enough. I purchased this CF card on Amazon and have been very satisfied with the results. I have stored upto 60 pictures and 20 videos before I have had to move it to my computer. There is insignificant lag.
Rating: Summary: Entirely satisfactory so far Review: I was looking for the cheapest digital camera I could find that would take adequate shots of small collectibles for listing on eBay. I bought the Argus 3200 at a great price, knowing it had almost no internal memory. A second problem was that my older system has no USB port. My solution was to buy the SanDisk 128 MB flash card, and a card reader that plugs into the printer port--both from Amazon. Both have worked fine for me so far. At this time, a 32 MB card would be adequate for my purposes, but I don't regret buying the extra capacity--and the 128 costs little more than a 64. The SanDisk card arrived in three days-- with no shipping charge--and the price was much better than off the rack in my own city.
Rating: Summary: Not bad for I paid for Review: I'd select Viking over SanDisk but since there is a $$$ MIR for this card, I go for it. One of the reviewers pointed out and it also happend to me that I only got 121 MB after format using Canon Powershot S30 instead of close to 128 MB as advertised. Canon probrably calculates 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes versus computer calculating 1 MB = 1,048,576 (1024 x 1024) bytes. I got the card, tested and it worked.
Rating: Summary: Good buy for the price Review: san-disk owns the rights to the compactflash patent, but quality between different brands of media is pretty much equal at the consumer level. i made this brand purchase for the sizable rebate offered at the time, which earned the quality/value rating of 5* in my book.

Rating: Summary: All flash is not created equal Review: SanDisk flash is some of the slowest flash on the market. I strongly suggest purchasing a better brand such as Viking. The only thing SanDisk has going for it is price, but for a few dollars more you can do a lot better.
Rating: Summary: costs a lot but does so much Review: This is a great little card. Yes, the new xd card used in Fuji cameras is much smaller but how small do you need? With this card you can take only one card on vacation with you, although I still recommend an extra card for emergencies. I have been using this one for a month now. I have 111 photos and three short videos and there's still room. I've printed my photos up to 8x10 and they look great, just like my 35mm enlargements. The video although pretty smooth when viewed on my TV is not quite as good as 8mm video, but better than on my previous camera. And this card is a heck of a lot smaller than 3 rolls of film and an 8mm video tape. I'll admit that the initial cost is high but remember that you can reuse the card again and again- simply download to your computer or a disc and erase the images from your card and you are ready to start over. Another advantage is the ability to immediately erase (true for all digital cards and cameras) and thereby save your 'film' for an important photo.
Rating: Summary: Trouble free Review: Worked great in my Aiptek DV-II camera.
