Summary: good solid card/brand
Review: I have a 2 megapixel canon elph and own two other CF cards, (Sandisk 64mb and Fuji64mb) Reason I got another CF card was the price as of Feb 2003, was the lowest I've seen ever, and I did abit more research than before. check dpreview.com they have a section of CF card ratings and this particular card did very good, as far as speed and reliability. I did my own amateur testing and noticed "slight" differences, the Viking and Sandisk cards were abit faster in taking multiple shots. (but this is a matter of miliseconds) reliability, I have had the two other cards for about 6 months and have not had a problem with data loss of any kind. On my 2 megapixel camera, the Viking 128mb CF card shot about 360-400 images "high quality" (depending on image size, each image can be a different file size, depending on the information each one requires) So, I would just stick with a big name like Viking or Sandisk and you really cant go wrong.

Summary: A VERY good value! Don't bother with a smaller card for MP3s
Review: I've not seen a cheaper price, and I've been looking in stores. This is a good value. Keep in mind, though, unlike the cheaper versions of this card, this card does NOT come with a flash reader. I was disappointed to find this out, but it was my own fault for just assuming it did. I still give it 5 stars. [A note to HP Jornada 548 customers. This card works fine with the Jornada Pocket PC. I say this because it is not mentioned in the advertisement that the 128MB version is compatible, but it is.] One nice thing about this card is that there is 24/7 tech support available if something should go wrong with it (or with installation or whatever), but I don't know what could really go wrong with it --I guess that's why they offer the tech support! Anyone using MP3s should REALLY go for this card and skip the 64 MB card. The 64 MB card would be rather skimpy, and with 128 MB you'll ALWAYS find things to store on it. (I've had my card three days now and I've filled up 50 MB already, downloading songs, books, and maps). One nice thing about having a flash card for a PocketPC (or other handheld) is that you can back up your entire regular memory onto your flashcard easily, without having to worry about memory failure. That is pretty neat, kind of like a second hard drive for your computer...

Summary: defective card after another
Review: I would avoid this compact flash card-- I've gone thru two, both which proved to be defective.

Summary: Buy this or a microdrive
Review: If you've had a 2 mega-pixel or above camera for more than a few days then you've realized that an 8 or 16 mb memory card is not going to cut it. In my opinion, you really have two good alternatives. (1) a good capacity compactflash memory card like this Viking card, or (2) one of the microdrives. This 128 mb Viking memory card is a good value on a cost per megabyte basis (I have not seen a better compactflash value anywhere), and it offers more peace of mind since it has no moving parts. However, the microdrive does cost less per megabyte (in fact, for the same cost you'll get 340 mb of storage vs. 128 mb with the Viking), although you'll have a miniature hard drive to worry about in terms of potential lost photos. I've got both, but I'll only use the microdrive on long trips where I know I'll need the storage space. And then I'mn exceptionally careful with it. Most people will be happier going the compactflash route, in which case this Viking card is the best value and very reliable. I'm very pleased with it. Go ahead, it's pretty much an essential accessory.

Summary: 128 MB Viking Compact Flash Card and the Nikon D100
Review: I'm a happy owner of Nikon's new addition in the advanced amateur/professional Digital Camera market - the D100. The camera received tremendous pre-release publicity and I can say from first hand knowledge that the praise is justified. However the D100 doesn't arrive with any means of image storage. So I ran down to the closest electronics store and purchaged a 128 MB CF Memory card for about ($). The card was rated as "4X" speed. It worked great with no complaints. However last week I searched Amazon.com and found a very high quality Viking 128 MB Compact Flash card at ($) and free shipping! The Viking is a much higher quality card that the one previously purchased and ($) less money and no shipping cost! A real bargain in my book! Are you an eBay shopper? Then you know that the Viking card is selling for more on eBay than Amazon's price!

Summary: Very good value, good performance
Review: I shoot digital pictures -- lots of them. 64MB CF cards just don't cut it anymore, especially with really high-quality TIFF or RAW images; being able to store only five TIFFs before changing cards is just irritating. [And, of course, it's very nice to be able to store over 1000 meduim-quality compressed images, too -- great for those vacation pictures or shots of your kid's school play!] So, Viking's 128MB card is a pretty good performer, and I certainly can't complain about the price. It may not be the fastest CF card on the block, but I'm just not ready to shell out $... for a Lexar pro series card that'll store images faster. I'm happy to pay $... less, and wait a few seconds per image. And, of course, if you're using the card for MP3 or program storage (such as for a Pocket PC), you probably won't notice much difference anyway -- you write a file once, and retrieval speed is usually no problem. I'm happy with my Viking card -- so happy I'm buying another.

Summary: SUPERB value
Review: Great price on a great flash card. I needed ONE more flash card so I could stop juggling the flash cards I already have between devices every few days... (Kodak DC4800 camera, HP Handheld computer, DC50, etc.) Especially when traveling, I take LOTS of pictures and adding this card to my electronics arsenal means I can snap longer before downloading onto my 6-gigabyte digital wallet storage device. Shooting highest-resolution pics is less trouble with this high-capacity card when compared to smaller-capacity ones since this card doesn't fill-up so quickly. And storing files (images, audio, documents, etc.) for my handheld computer is easier and more fun, too. And this card is NOT SLOWER than others I have. My devices seem to read/write to this card at the same speed as my other CF cards.

Summary: Have 2 - no problems
Review: I have 2 of these cards that I've used in server different Canon digital cameras. I've never had a problem with either.

Summary: have had this card for 2+ yrs now and no problems
Review: I use this card with a Canon G1 camera. Haven't had a single problem. Stores 50 or so raw images. Downloads are fast and haven't had a single reliability issue. I like compactflash cards as they are much more sturdier and Viking Components did well on this one. I recommend this card for anyone who has a digital comera that takes compactflash cards

Summary: A digital photographer's plan B
Review: Viking may not have the greatest reputation in the world when it comes to their memory, but I've personally never come upon anything of theirs that left me feeling unsatisfied. This 128MB card is a great value for the money (especially with the rebates). Transfer times are what you'd expect, there's nothing that makes this stand out of the crowd other than the price. But just make sure you're aware of the space capacity you'll really be needing - it just isn't roomy enough to keep up with any cameras over 4MP. However, it's a solid and dependable backup that I always have with me whenever I'm out shooting with my 5MP camera.
