Summary: Amazon Doesn't honor their rebate.
Review: I purchased this 512Mb card to replace the dinky 32Mb card that came with my Canon A80. I decided on a SimpleTech card for two reasons: it's what Canon sells at their accessories site and, more importantly, it was cheaper than the others.It works fine. Haven't filled the card entirely yet, but I just snapped about 100 pictures in succession with no problem. It even appears to store images slightly faster than the Canon Flashcard that came with the camera. Looks like about 247 pictures will fit on the card at the camera's highest resolution (4Megapixel, 2272x1704 JPG's in superfine mode).

Summary: Excellent
Review: I purchased this card and the Sandisk 512 CF. Simpletech wouldn't format in the Muvo2. The Sandisk worked like a charm. Previous experience had this card fail in a week. I should have known better. I have never had a problem with Sandisk, but have been bitten twice with SimpleTech.

Summary: Unreliable! Buy something else!
Review: I read the other reviews warning about the unreliability of this product, but decided to take my chances because the price was so low, and because I generally have good luck with consumer electronics. I tend to be pretty careful, and you never know whether some of the other reviewers were just sloppy, or dropped their CF card in the bathtub. My camera is a PowerShot S45, with which both SimpleTech and Amazon claim the STI-CF/512 is compatible -- and it was, for the first one or two hundred shots. (Canon is less helpful, only recommending the IBM 1GB microdrive by name, which I thought was overkill.) Of course, it failed at about the worst time: while I was on vacation in London, where everything is expensive. I did not lose any of the 31 pictures I had already taken, but attempting to shoot more resulted in the message "CF Card Error". Having been forewarned, I brought a backup card (a SanDisk which has lasted more than two years without a single problem), but that was only 64MB. Reformatting the card does not help, and it exhibits the same problems plugged directly into my laptop's PC Card slot with an adapter. The card is now practically worthless, and of course, I threw out the packaging after a few weeks of problem-free operation, so I'm stuck with it. Before you decide to roll the dice and buy this turkey, consider the cost of being stuck far away from home without adequate camera media. Had I to do it all over again, I would buy two SanDisk 256MB cards instead, which would be about the same price.

Summary: Reliable, and an excellent value . . .
Review: I use this card in a Canon 10D digital SLR camera, and have found it a very reliable performer. There have been no major problems either writing any kind of data, or extracting the files later. The larger capacity is great for digital SLR camera users. For the Canon 10D, a 6 mega pixel camera, maximum JPEG file size at the highest quality setting averages about 2.5MB, and typically about 190 images can be saved to the card. Using the card in a lower resolution digital point and shoot camera, capacity would of course be many times greater. As more files are written and the card gets closer to capacity, data transfer speed seems to slow down a bit. Still the card performs reasonably well even when taking a series of images in rapid succession, say four or five in two second interval. With a digital point and shoot camera, transfer speed should not be an issue. Competitively priced... Economical and reliable, SimpleTech's 512 card is a great value.

Summary: Good write performacne with my Canon 10d
Review: I've been using the SimpleTech 512 MB card for about a month now in my Canon 10d camera. I've captured over 400 2-3MB image files. So far I'm very pleased with the write performance of the card. ... I will most likely be purchasing a second SimpleTech card as a backup.

Summary: Own three SimpleTech 256 and a SimpleTech 512 CF cards
Review: I've taken over 24,000 pixs with these on a Nikon CoolPix 5000 and only once did the 512 give me a fright. But in the end, the pixs were there. It happened during file transfer from the card to a PowerMac laptop. It could've been my fault; a little careless last weekend. Speed of writing on SimpleTech cards is respectable; price is right though.
