Summary: How many pictures will it store?
Review: How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.
The Kingston 128MB CompactFlash Card and Adapter, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.
I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Review: This card has worked well so far. It is a 12x card (about 1.8 MB/sec), which is about as fast as a 3.2 MP camera needs.The complaint I have is the price, hence the three stars. If you are ever going to consider getting another compactflash card, just get a 256 MB now and don't hold off. The price increase is between ten or fifteen bucks. I have a couple 256 MB 12x Lexar cards which work great, and weren't much more expensive for holding twice as many pictures yet having the same write speed. They are also a little cheaper than Kingston cards, in price, but seem to work just as well. No corrupt files in any of these cards yet! If you have a higher megapixel camera (4 and up), I would recommend the Lexar 40x Professional 256 MB compactflash card. It comes with file recovery software and has a lifetime warranty.

Review: This card works well and the price is right! Kingston's standard cards are 12x (about 1.8 MB/sec), which is about as fast as any 3.2 MP camera needs. No corrupt files in any of these cards yet! If you have a higher megapixel camera (4 MP and up), I would recommend the Sandisk Ultra compactflash card, which has a maximum write speed of about 60x (although reaching this speed probably won't happen for all cameras because cameras themselves have a maximum write speed). To figure out about how much memory a card will hold with a specific camera, take the following formula, which is a rough approximation:
# of Pictures = 3*(megabites on card)/(megapixels)
So, a 3 megapixel camera can store approximately 250 pictures on a 256 MB card.
