Summary: Great Compactflash card
Review: I bought a 128mb card and am very happy with it. It's very nice and fast. It does cost more than some on the open market, but that's ok. It has a 5 year warranty, which isn't as long as I would like, but it's been my experience that in electronics if you are going to have a failure in workmanship you will usually find out about it early on. 5 years is acceptable.As far as speed of the card I find it quite acceptable also. I have seen speed test of other cards and the usb enabled cards are much faster with my camera (nikon 990) if your camera doesn't support usb enabled code. Then I wouldn't bother spending the extra money that it costs. But at the time I bought my card I got it with a rebate and it was just a bit more than the others on the market. As for the jumpshot cable, it will only work with compact flash cards that are usb enabled. I don't know of any other cards besides Lexar that have this yet.

Summary: It's fast!!!!
Review: I bought this CF card to replace my SanDisk 64MB CF card. I had heard about Lexar's reputation as making one of the fastest CF cards out there and thought I'd try it despite the price premium. Some digital camera users have said that the digital camera can only take advantage of Lexar's USB capability if it knows about it (i.e. it was programmed into the firmware/hardware to support the speed optimization). I received the card and proceeded to compare my SanDisk 64MB card with the Lexar one. To do the informal test, I snapped an uncompressed TIF at 1600x1280 using my Nikon Coolpix 950 (a camera that supposedly is *not* optimized for Lexar media). With the SanDisk card, it took approx 45 seconds between snapping the shot and being able to use the camera again (it's loading to the media). With the Lexar card, it was reduced to 25 seconds!!! THAT'S FAST! ...and for an unoptimized camera as well. I currently use the card either in the camera, my Compaq iPaq PDA, or in a PCMCIA slot via an adapter. I haven't used the JumpShot cable yet as I only have Win95 or WinNT installed. That will changed in a few weeks when I migrate to Win2000, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed. As another test, I copied 60MB of mp3s from my laptop to the SanDisk and the same 60MB of data to the Lexar. The Lexar was by far much faster.

Summary: Fast, portable memory card
Review: The Lexar 128MB USB-enabled compact flash card is really great for my 3 mega-pixel camera. Its capacity is relatively large, and it is faster by far than the earlier cards I had. Further, the Jumpshot reader is so compact that it is easy to carry around in the camera bag, and then it's a quick moment to download the pictures to any USB-equipped computer. It is a little pricey, and it's true that most cards don't work with the Jumpshot cable because they are not USB-enabled--but for me it's a great product that I use almost every day.
