SanDisk 96 MB CompactFlash Card

Summary: I had major downloading problems with this one
Review: This flash memory card offered good storage capacity per dollar (about $1 per Meg) and works fine in my camera (a Kodak 4800 that I had used with Kodak 16 Meg and Viking 32 Meg cards), but when I tried to download the pictures to my iMac, all hell broke loose. I get error messages saying that there is not enough memory to download the thumbnnails, but no amount of memory reallocation seems to work, and the problems I have been getting are nonreproducible. The person at the Kodak help line was sympathetic but said he could not solve the problem with a non-Kodak product. They offered to transfer my 250 pictures from the Sandisk onto a CD-rom for free once, but I can't do this every time I use the darned card.

SanDisk offers no troubleshooting help line.

I wish I'd bought a Kodak or Viking card now. Sandisk is also chintzy not providing a plastic protective disc container, as others do.
