Summary: Tons of space and flawless performance.
Review: The after rebate price was [quite low] which I thought was a great deal. After taking over 700 shots on my Nikon 2100 it has performed absolutely flawlessly. No lost pics or digital artifacts like some other reviewers have experienced. I don't know why so many people have had problems with theirs. The 5 year warranty gives me confidence in this product.

Summary: Excellent One
Review: I bought this one for my Canon G2 camera. I took the pictures the same day for testing and I don't see any flaw in it. 256 MB at a great price. When I bought there was mail and Rebate on Viking products, so It worked out even better. I would go for it again if I need more memory but I have a feeling 256MB would be more than sufficient for a 4 Megapixel camera.

Summary: Poor Performance with Canon S230
Review: The Viking card has had numerous issues used on my Canon S230. The first card would 'drop' every 4th picture or so, displaying a 'CF Card Error' on the screen when later reviewed, which would render the image undownloadable. As you can imagine, I lost several precious shots due to this malfunction. I returned the card for a replacement, and have the same issue with the new one. I am very disappointed. The Lexar card I bought as insurance works just fine.

Summary: This product is BAD!!!
Review: [...] After filling up the 256MB card with pictures, it went bad. Displaying a "CF card error" sign in the camera. It will not respond to any camera command. Nor will respond to a software program I purchased that recaptures lost or deleted information. I'm very upset and will not buy anything from Viking in the future...g on that their quality control is absolute crap. Go save yourself some heartache and order it from the company itself. I will never order anything from this website again and will advise everyone that i know to do the same. I emailed them about it and if they don't offer me some sort of compensation i am going to see if there is any legal action i can take, what an absolute outrage.

Summary: Does not work well with Canon Powershot S50.
Review: I'm about to send for my second replacement for this Viking card. After filling up the card with pictures and video, it has given me the message 'memory card error' on both the original and replacement cards. Everything on the cards was lost. I tried Viking because it appears to be the best selling card on Amazon, so perhaps I've just had bad luck so far. But the Lexar Media CF256-12-251 256 MB, USB, 12X, High-Speed CompactFlash Card I bought has worked from day one with no errors.

Summary: Give me more memory
Review: With my 5 mega pixel camera, 16, 32 or even 64meg is NOT enough memory. Give me 256 Meg. It sure is nice being able to catch quite a few pics before I have to download.

Summary: VERY UPSET
Review: I bought it, received it and had a "cf card error" message.
I sent it back, they exchanged it to me by sending a new one, and still have a "cf card error".
So verry unhappy from this component, hoping Viking let me trust them again one time.
This comment is signed by the first 3 letters of my family name so that Viking can recognize from their archive the disappointed customer.

Summary: The NEED for SPEED!
Review: This is a pretty big card for a very small price. While the size benefits are obvious, the more important factor is speed. A while back I bought a SanDisk "Ultra" Compact Flash card because the single selling point was that it was supposed to be TWICE as fast as their standard product. To be honest, at that point I didn't think there were speed differences between CF cards. I assumed they were all the same speed simply because other brands didn't mention their speed. What happened next was a surprise to me. I put my SanDisk Ultra into my camera and started taking pictures and noticed that the time between shots got longer and longer as the card started to fill up, and was clearly longer than when I had my older (smaller) card in the camera. Their Ultra card was clearly slower than my supposedly inferior older card. That's when I started to question their claims to be twice as fast as a standard CF card. I did some research and confirmed what I had discovered; larger capacity CF cards are slower than smaller CF cards. So when you buy larger cards, you need faster memory to compensate. That said, if speed between pictures is an issue, you have two choices: 1) Buy a bunch of smaller cards, and swap them when they fill up or 2) If you want larger cards, make sure they are as fast. After my experience with my SanDisk card, I tried the Viking card and unlike SanDisk, they didn't make any claims of speed, but the Viking was CLEARLY FASTER! Later I found some sites where they did more scientific tests where they not only measured the time between photos, but tested them using a high speed card reader/writer. This guaranteed that the test results were not an indication of the camera's ability to manage larger cards (but that is a factor). The bottom line: For cards this size, speed is important, and this card is FAST!

Summary: Extremely bad quality products
Review: Me again, guess what ? Vicking sent me a new CF card (to replace the first one that died on me suddenly (lost 100 pics)) The new one seemed to work fine. I left on a new trip, took lots of pictures and when the card was 90% full, all my pictures suddenly disappeared. My CF card had now a 4Mb size !!! Second time i lost my pics.. i'm very mad about vicking right now...

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I bought a 256 viking compact flash for my new canon s45, I felt the price was great for the product but that turned out to be false. I am very disappointed in the quality of the product, I have dealt with customer service several times. I am now on my 3rd card as they have replaced it each time. I keep having cf card error and corrupted images. That was a waste of money! For all the bad reviews I have read I have to agree that this is not worth trying and who wants to gamble losing your pictures. Its not a good deal when it doesn't work!!!
