Summary: A must for anyone with Digital Camera or MP3 player
Review: I recently bought the SanDisk 256 MB CompactFlash Card for use with my digital camera and I really impressed with this CF card. I just bought the Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera and it came with a 32 MB CompactFlash card that barely held 10 pictures at the highest resolution. I needed more capacity, but I wanted to buy a card that was compatible with my camera as well as my MP3 player. It was interesting to note that the 32 MB CF card that was included by Canon was made by SanDisk. That convinced me and I ended up buying the 256 MB CF card and it has worked just amazingly well in my camera.

I love this CompactFlash card as it is so small, and versatile. If you plan on buying the 256 MB CF card, I would also recommend buying the Sandisk Imagemate USB CompactFlash Card Reader (SDDR-31). A must have option that will allow you to use your CF card as a removable drive on your computer instead of using your camera to download pictures.

Summary: Not compatible with Canon PowershotS30! Check Sandiskwebsite
Review: I was considering buying the Sandisk 256mb card for my new Canon Powershot S30, but when I checked the Sandisk website to confirm it was compatible I discovered it was Not!

Seems strange since their website does list the card is compatible with the G2 model. Oh well, not worth the chance for me. I'll guess I'll try Viking.

Summary: DISASTER!!!!
Review: I've owned my Sandisk 256 MB for only 5 months when it went dead on me. After spending our honeymoon in Club Paradise, Palawan, Philippines, and taking so many totally great pictures, it just stopped working. It was working when I was taking pictures in Palawan, but when we were going to take our last picture on the plane, the digital camera just said CF Error. Damn! I tried reading it on my card reader when I got home and it wouldn't work. Even tried it on 4 different digicams and all reported error. Man, it's not the card I'm really pissed about, it's the pictures!!!! MAAAAAN!!! I couldn't even have it replaced, Circuit City says I need the receipt for them to replace it.

Summary: Survived the washer AND dryer!
Review: Maybe this is a feature of ALL compact flash cards, but this card has survived a round-trip through my washer and dryer, hot water wash and cotton (hot!) cycle in the dryer. WOW. And the pictures were all still there and I've had no problems in the six weeks since then storing and retrieving files. Great product!

Summary: P.O.S.
Review: Okay, I just bought one of these. Then I proceeded to go on a 6 mile walking tour all over San Francisco taking shots all along
the way with my new Digital Rebel...everything seemed fine...
until I got home and tried to view them on my computer...
CF Card Error...then I put the same card back in the camera...
Err CF...it's unbelievable the effort I put into getting those
shots and they're ALL LOST...

I'd give it ZERO stars if that were an option.

Summary: Poor Service
Review: Ordered the SanDisk 256 MB card for my NIKON Coolpix 5000. Card worked fine for 6 mos and then stopped working right after Christmas. I called for a warranty replacement (it's guarenteed for 5 yrs or so they say per written warranty)and then the runaround began. They close for the Christmas Holidays for 10 days. NO ONE is available to issue an RMA for a replacement? Finally after numerous calls I got an RMA# and sent the faulty card back per their instructions. Now I can't find out anything about the replacement card as they just don't seem to be able to get back to me with the status of the replacement card. Over a month and no replacement card. Stuck using the camera included card of 32 MB capacity. I would not reccommend this company to anyone. Customer support is terrible. Their promises to contact me about warranty issues is very poor. Caveat emptor. I will now go to Viking. SanDisk just doesn't seem to care.

Summary: Works Excellent
Review: Short Review:
I paid 79.00 for this card. I use it in my Casio Qv-4000 Digital Camera. I have taken about 4000 pictures on this card and transfered them to my computer. it has worked flawlessly. A+ recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Drawbacks
Review: The only hang-up with the CF Card is to remember to flip the card around when inserting it between the Compact Card Reader and the Camera itself to avoid damage to a Card when reinstaling it into either device.

Once properly inserted the playback access time is super and the write time when recording is great.

Summary: after 8 months on my Canon S200. no probs.
Review: The SanDisk 256 CF card is a good card, I have not lost any images or had any sort of problems with this card in the 8 months I've had it. (in chicago weather too, humid summers and bitter winters)

I have a Canon Elph 2MP camera and with this card I can store 500-600 images. I didn't notice any slow down in shooting pics even with the card 75% full. It does slow down when reviewing your images on the lcd screen.

But in 8 months I've owned this card I have not lost a single image, so I would not be afraid to purchase another card. cheers-

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth every penny!
Review: This card is great. I was worried about spending so much money on one card, but wow, it stores so many pictures. We went to Florida for spring break and I just brought this one card and took four hundred pictures and a couple movies. You really don't need another card if you get this one.
