Review: I've been using the Viking 256 and Viking 125 SD cards with my Kodak DX camera for about three months: Pictures look great, quick transfers. Great quality for the price.

Summary: poor quality card
Review: initially the card works fine with my canon s45. but on a rainy day, after taking about 20 pictures at my graduation ceremony, it stops working and I couldn't even turn on my camera with it. called viking and they exchanged a new card. pretty fast though. i then took the card to yellowstone national park and took about 200 pictures. but it stops working again. the camera shows "card error" and i couldn't retrieve my pictures. now i may need to pay ... data recovery service but still have no idea whether I can get my pictures back! don't buy it!

Summary: Nice Card
Review: Worked great, the CompactFlash has a bit slower access than some of the other cards but it is great. Worked perfectly!

Summary: It Just Works
Review: Haven't had any problems. Don't know why other people have; maybe Viking just has unreliable QA, like Apex?

Summary: Card is good ...
Review: I got this card with my Canon S200 camera 4 months back. The card is working fine no problems at all. The card is very good, no doubt about it.

Summary: A good exemple of how not to do bussines!
Review: I bought it in May 3rd, 2003. It was [money amount]cheaper than the competition (after 2 weeks SanDisk had an offer for just [money amount]more, but...too late), it had a 5 yr warranty and replace program. Sounded good.
But...for light use, this might be a nice and cheap card. If you take a lot of pictures, for a long period of time or you shoot rapidly...the card will fail you...when you will not expect it!
Mine, after 3 months of very light usage, failed the first moment when I used it for more than 100 photos in one day.
Tomorrow, I will contact customer service and require a replacement. [...]I was considering another 512 MB RAM for my laptop, from Viking, but after my experience with this CF...I have doubts and second thoughts...I guess Kingston will get my bussines in the end.

Summary: Horrid quality - Do NOT buy
Review: If you're interested in throwing your money away, there are better ways to do it than buying a Viking product. I had the same experience as Eugene Wolfson (4-23-03) using this CF card with my Canon Power Shot G-3 (but I bought before his review). Photos displayed on the LCD monitor with no indication of a problem; take a few more pictures, review, everything appears ok on the monitor, take a few more pictures, review and sudddenly half the photos taken earlier show "card error"! I am now trying to retrieve about 300 pictures I took at a wedding. Photo shop says the entire card is [bad] even though I had erased the [bad]photos so that when I brought the card in, there were no photos showing "card error." I am doubtful about my ability to recover ANY of these pics. Reformatting the card does NOT work - I've tried that 3x. ... If I could have given it a negative number of stars, I would have. And yes, I am furious.

Summary: good price poor quality
Review: I purchased the viking card for use with my new Canon 45s camera. I used it about 10 days when my camera flashed "card error" and I lost all my pictures. I went to the Viking web site where I found out how to return the card (they didnt even ask what was wrong with it) However that was almost 6 weeks ago and I still have not received a replacement. The website offers no way of checking on returns so I will have to call them
to find out its status. I'm buying a Lexar today because something tells me I will have future problems (if I ever get a replacement from Viking.

Summary: According to Viking's Rules...
Review: In my informal comparison of the transfer rate of 256MB compact flash cards by Viking, SimpleTech, and Kingston, the Viking card came in a distant third. The Viking card took about 40% longer to transfer identical data. My card at least, did not meet the stated specified transfer rate. So where speed of transfer is important, the Viking card may not be the best choice. For other less critical tasks, the Viking card has proven perfectly adequate. Viking products are competitively priced, [...]

Summary: So Far so good
Review: I had already purchased Viking 256MB CompactFlash Card so thought of having the same collection for storage.
