Summary: Great for Dell Axim PDA
Review: I bought my Dell Axim PDA first and quickly found out I needed additional storage space. I researched several compactflash cards of the same 256 megabyte storage and found Kingston: well-known by name. It works great, just like its supposed to. I store my MP3s in it and use it with my PDA all the time.

I looked at the Sandisk compactflashes, but they aren't very high in quality. Kingston's better known for making quality memory/storage devices. Highly recommended.

Summary: "Bang for the buck" CF Card
Review: I bought this CF Card for my Canon Digital Camera and it reads and writes really, really fast compared to the stock canon CF and to my old 256MB SanDisk CF. For its performance, its definitely worth the price. If your looking for a really good CF card, this is the one for you.

Summary: Great Card
Review: I had bought a digital camera and found the standard 16MB that typically comes with a digital camera highly insufficient. So I got myself a Kingston 256MB CF for my Canon S230. It works great! Definitely faster than the generic one that came with the camera. I have yet to fill up the card. On top of that, I use it as a portable hard-drive to transport data between my desktop at work and my laptop.

Summary: great reliable
Review: I have two of these cards, and use them primarily in a Canon 10D digital SLR camera. I have had absolutely no problems, either writing data to them or extracting files later. The medium capacity card is very convenient for most digital 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 90 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.

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. Kingston's reliable, competitively priced card should meet the needs of most users.

Summary: Fast CF card for my Canon Powershot A70.
Review: I purchased this card @ Dell with rebates for less than tearty backs (errors on purpose). So far, it works flawlessly. It reaches close to 1MB/s read rate when used with USB 1.1 card reader. Dpreview.com tested this card with Firewire CF reader and it read data at rate of over 4MB/s.

Highly recommended as all Kingston products. I am thinking about buying another 256MB from Viking to use as "spare tire" since I shoot at highest resolution and best quality with my A70. I can fit around 170 pictures (JPEG) on 256MB CF card.

Additionally, CF card with reader can be used like floppy except its capacity surpasses 1.44MB by a lot.

Summary: Fast CF card for my Canon Powershot A70.
Review: I've been using this CF card on my Nikon 4300 for a couple of months now. It writes fast compared to my other CF (Canon stock, from another camera). However, start up of the camera takes longer (because of the size), and as more pictures are stored, there is a noticeable degradation in speed in writing. I've also used this on a Dell Axim, and it worked great! No problem in formatting.

Summary: Doesn't fit well in my Canon A75
Review: The memory works fine, but it bothers me every time I have to take it out of the camera, because it gets stuck. However, I have measured it and it is just the same size of the Canon memory which came with the camera and with which I have had no problem. Perphaps it's fat in the middle...
