Summary: Wonderful Card
Review: I've owned two of these cards and used them with a Canon S110 and a Canon S200. They have been wonderful; 256 MB allows me to take more pictures (~243) than I've ever been able to in a single day, and at highest quality (2 MP, jpeg compression). The only time this hasn't been enough was on a multi week vacation. Buy a few if you're planning to take photos on a trip -- I'd gotten so used to having unlimited photos that it was difficult to take fewer. Speed has been great, and was one of the reasons I initially chose this card. I've never had any formatting or data loss problems, and I've used the cards in both cameras, a card reader, and a card reader in an HP printer. I use my card intensively, constantly taking photos, uploading them, then deleting them. I highly reccomend it, and it's a great value.

Summary: CF Errors
Review: This card worked fine for 2 weeks in my Canon S45. I was able to take an increased amount of pictures and movies. Speed was very good. Then after taking 61 pictures and 2 movies at a party I got download errors on several files. Luckily I got all but 2 pictures downloaded. When I reviewed the images using the camera I got CF Errors on several images. I deleted these images and still got CF errors when trying to display the next images. Something went terribly wrong with the card. I formatted it and took several pictures. I would still get CF errors. I am using the 32MB card that came with the camera with no problems at all. I am now considering the Lexar 24x card or the new 40x card due out this month. I bought a 128MB Viking card for my son and he is having no problems with it at this time. I guess I just got a bad one.

Summary: Excellent Card!
Review: I already own a Viking 256MB CompactFlash Card for several months. I just bought another one. Why? Because the quality is good, the price is good, especially with the rebate offer, and I got my rebate money back pretty quickly for my first card! I have used the card on my Canon G2, and also tried on a Canon S30 and a S45. They all work flawlessly.

Highly recommended!

Summary: Viking worked with me to reach a solution.
Review: After the second card was returned to Viking for the same 'corrupted files' errors I was about to give up. However Viking tech support suggested requesting two 128 mb cards vs another 256. Well, we haven't had any problems with these two cards. One we almost filled on a trip this weekend.

Again, maybe there is a problem with Viking and Cannon with these 256mb cards.

Summary: Quick and big
Review: Allows me to store up to 412 pictures at the highest quality setting on my Kodak DC3400 camera which is unreal. It saves the photos pretty quickly as well. Good buy.

Summary: This card didn't work on my Canon S45
Review: I have read all good reviews on this card so I purchased one for my new canon S45. It worked fine with the first 40+ pictures. Then suddenly it stopped working: it took a very long time to read/write from/to the card, and when I plugged in to my computer to try to download my pictures, the card couldn't be read. I lost all my pictures on this card. I then reformatted this card, problem still existed. Maybe I'm the unlucky one to get a bad card? -:( But I don't want to take more chance on this card so I plan to return it.

Summary: Viking 256 MB CompactFlash Card
Review: Purchased my first Viking 256MB CF card when the "Gold Box" offers began. It was 50% off so I took the chance. I use this card in my Kodak 4800 digital camera and after hundreds of shots I have experienced no problems. A few weeks ago another one was offered in my "Gold Box" at a substantial savings so I purchased that one for my Dell Axim PDA.

Summary: I've lost many precious memories of my daughter.
Review: I purchased this card so we could take more pictures of my daughter and family over the holidays. It started out like a dream. Then one picture became corrupted. Then more and more each time we went to view them on my brand new Cannon G3. Finally the card would not let the camera turn on. So naturally I called Viking. They said I got a bad card and so I returned it for a new one. Well, we just got the new card Friday. And like a fool, we trusted it to work as we took my daughter to visit distant family. Well, again, we lost one picture. Then three. Then, at the end of the day we were able to save three pictures out of 50. Needless to say I'm greatly disappionted and angry. These are memories we will not get to photograph again. I still have to hear back from Viking for the second time. But I'll tell you this, I'll NEVER buy another product of theirs nor reccomend them. Maybe there is a problem with compatibility between Viking and Cannon? Either way. I'll be doing my best to get my money back.

Hey, if you willing to take the chance, buy it. Otherwise, I'd look for a more reliable brand.

Summary: Great Product...Congrats to Viking...
Review: I got this card for a cassiopea BE-300 PDA and it works great!! I even downloaded some videos to it and the downloading speed was very good. I've taken my PDA to the beach and gotten some sand in it and the card and PDA of course still woked after i cleaned the sand off. I wish I had bought a 512mb instead but then again i was on a budget. Buy this card you wont regret it.
