Rating: Summary: Value still exists Review: One of the "must-haves" for digital cameras is the ability to store a significant number of pictures. The SanDisk 128Mb card provided the ability to store over 700, which was adequate for our upcoming two-week vacation. Why the SanDisk? I checked out compatibility (actually, the Kodak DX3600 required an upgrade to provide support for this product), and reviewed the ... organization's site ... . The dollars/megabyte, from one of the bigger manufacturers, was right. A five-year warranty closed the deal for me. Finally, it's proven itself reliable for the past few months. NO problems whatsoever.
Rating: Summary: Snadisk is slower than some competitors Review: I used this 128MB Sandisk CF card with my Nikon 885 digital camera on a recent trip to Vietnam. While it does store plenty of high quality images, the issue I have with this card is the read/write rate. As the card fills up with pictures it becomes slow to store the picture you just took. I estimate that this took up to 15 seconds, an eternity while waiting to take another picture. Even more painful is reviewing and deleting pictures. Going through thumbnails of about 100 pictures took 5-10 minutes as the camera struggled to read from the memory card. I also took along a Lexar 16MB 8X card that displayed my pictures almost instantaneously. This is a lower capacity card but it gave me a comparison. Sandisk doesn't do a very good job of stating its read/write speeds. These speeds(along with # of MBs) is what distinguishes mainstream from professional quality cards. Professional photographers don't have time to wait to take another picture or review their older pictures. I am buying a large capacity Lexar 12X card to be my primary high storage card and the Sandisk card will be my backup for overflow situations.
Rating: Summary: 6 days at Disney on one card!! Review: I bought this about 10 hours before leaving for Disney World. I use it in a Nikon Coolpix 700 (2.1 mp) set at the basic mode (1600 x 1200, apx 240k per pic with full compression). I took 471 pictures and had room for over 100 more. Download of 108 meg with a USB card reader took about 5 minutes. A side effect I had not counted on was that write times increased as the card got full. With a 16MB card I never noticed this but toward the end of 128MB the delay was very noticeable. "Boot time" (pause after turning on the camera) was increased too. Again, something that was never an issue with a smaller card. A good reason to hang on to your older, smaller ram cards for things like sporting events frames per second are important. If picture quality is essential to your work, the size fo the card makes full TIFF images (8 meg per) a viable option. Memory may not be cheaper for a long time. I paid the same for this card that I paid for a 16MB card 2 years ago. Highly recomended.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: These cards are just amazing considering their size and capacity. I am using this 128MB Compact Flash card in my Canon S230 Digital Elph camera- 3.2 megapixels. The 128MB card is perfect for my purposes. I currently have 114 still photos and 3 short video clips stored and am still going. I've erased lots of pictures, downloaded to my computer, and printed on my computer and my HP 100 printer (with no computer connection.) I've encountered no problems and the quality of my photos is excellent. Although I've only had this card for a short time I have a SmartMedia card by SanDisk that has been used repeatedly for a year now and still functions beautifully. These may be expensive at first but they last.
Rating: Summary: Card went corrupt on our honeymoon Review: Well, this card was working great until my honeymoon recently. Unfortunately the problem only surfaced when we tried to get the pictures off the card. I was able to download the first 12 or so and then most of the rest of the pictures were corrupt. I haven't had any problems with the camera so it must be the media; very disappointing performance.
Rating: Summary: perfect Review: no prob. perfect so far for last 12 month
Rating: Summary: Storage problem solved! Review: I own several San Disk compact flash cards. This one being the lifesaver .....because it will hold many, many of the highest res images made on the Nikon Coolpix 990. When traveling I make hundreds of images and am happy to report------------------------------------------------------- I have had NO PROBLEMS with SanDisk cards. : )
Rating: Summary: After buying a kingston 256MB card... Review: This card is horrible. Speed is terrible and so is the latency. Switch to a kingston or something faster. Check the web for some speed comparisons
Rating: Summary: No problems so far Review: I have had one month of experience with this and have had no problems thus far.
Rating: Summary: i guess it's good. Review: since i have no other brand to compare, i would just rate it 4 stars. tested in southern utah. got about 150 pictures. both in large and small files w/high resolution. memory was pretty much full. also tested at texas a&m vs. oklahoma football game. took about 5 video clips and lots of still pictures. it still had lots of room left.
