Great concept but there are stability issues
The 128 and 256 meg seems to work better and be more stable than the larger formats. I've been having troubles with the 1024 and 512 being recognized by devices.

A lot of memory in a small package.
I bought the SanDisk 1 GB card for my Kodak 5 megapixel camera.The 32 megs that come in the camera left me with a full memory, so I wanted more. It arrived quickly and installed easily.I'm amazed at how small a gig of memory is these days.My Kodak Dx7590 camera says that it has room for 632 pictures at the 5 megapixel maximum setting.At the 1.8 megapixel setting it says that I can shoot 1,554 pictures before running out of memory.Either of those is way more than I've had a chance to use before returning home and downloading them to my PC.

I got the 1gb after comparing all the smaller ones.I did think about buying two or four smaller SD cards instead of the larger one.Now I'm glad to have the whole gig of memory instead of two or three smaller ones.I don't have to carry the extras cards and open the camera in rain or dust.

I did some comparison shopping on e-bay and elsewhere and found that the Amazon price, including shipping, was equal or less and it wasn't from some vendor I've never heard of.If you have a camera or other product that takes the SD cards, the price is hard to beat and the convenience of a lot of memory is very nice.As the old computer pros say, "you can never have too much memory."

good card 16x
got three for 96 from dell on a price mistake.great cards, not very fast but good for my use in a RAVE-MP 256 player.I checked the speed on this, it is 16x, good enough for most uses.

Works well
I have two of these. Both have worked well for about 3 months.Sandisk is the brand since they are for co-inventor of this standard.

Died after one month
Worked fine for one month, it is now unrecognizable by all devices I have tried it in.Lost data.I have read similar reports about other Sandisk SD cards. ... Read more

Great Speed
It has worked great with my Nikon D70. I fully recommend this card after owning 5 CF cards of 5 different companies, including Lexar, Canon-branded, and SimpleTech.

This is a great card and I would purchase it again.

Must Keep the Camera On to Save Images
I've known and happily used SanDisk CF cards before, high quality, good price.This Ultra II card comes with some worries.Since CF doesn't write at 9MB/sec, it uses a "buffer" to write a small amount (like 4 megs) to an ultra-fast buffer, then the image is slowly transferred to the main card.And there's the problem.

I lost every "last image" on my trip to Italy.When I powered on the camera, took say 5 pictures, it would record 4 and lose the last image.This is because I was turning the camera off after taking the 5th picture.I needed to leave the camera on another 20 seconds to be sure the memory card finished transfer of the images.So it's very fast, for a small burst of pictures, but LEAVE THE CAMERA ON.I did a lot of "that's cool!" pictures... you turn the camera on, take a picture, turn the camera off to save battery life.Mistake.Make sure you REVIEW the images (and not just the temporary image displayed after the picture is taken) before POWERING DOWN.

First CF Card
I got lucky! After purchasing a Rebel XT, I wanted a CF card that was roomy and priced right. AT the time and place, the Sandisk Ultra II 1GB was the ticket. I was not well versed with the different write/read speads of different CF cards. The Rebel XT specs indicate 3 FPS up to 14 pictures. In high resolution JPEG mode (no RAW), my rebel XT never stopped to wait for an image to be written to the Ultra II CF card. I'm guessing I could've held the shutter release and kept on going 'til the card was full.

Take the time to read the other reviews by individuals who've done their research and are more experienced. I'm convinced based on personal experience and reading about others' and will continue to purchase additional Sandisk Ultra II 1GB CF cards. Right now I need more batteries!

Card speed vs camera buffer dump speeds.
I've done a little research trying to find the best cf card for my Canon Digital Rebel XT.Scandisk has a new series of cards called Ultra III, with 20mb/sec speeds.Just because the card is fast can my camera take advantage of the speed?In my case not really.My camera dumps at about 6MB/Sec with most of the faster cards.I currently have the Lexar 80x 2Gig card, and have not had many problems other than a corrupt file every 1000 shots or so.My Canon does not take advantage of Lexars Write Acceleration, but I didn't find out until searching for another card.Here is a link to the test results I found.http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007 .

A solid performer.A must for the digital photographer.
One of the great things about the digital age is that the cost per megabyte of memory storage is in continuous decline.Here, we can all reap the advantage of this technological bounty--the SanDisk 1GB Ultra II CF card is a really nice product.I can use it in either my Nikon D100 or my Canon S50 (compact) cameras, and take hundreds of pictures before downloading the card to my laptop computer.

The card is very fast, so much so that the write speed simply is not noticeable most of the time (when it is that is more an issue of my D100's slow write time for RAW photos than it is with the Ultra II).Owning the Ultra II has really made digital photography a pleasure; typically I can shoot all day without having to worry about switching CF cards or emptying the contents of the card to the laptop.This is digital photography as it was meant to be.

A solid product that performs very well. ... Read more

Sandisk SD 512 crashes camera and computer
I have a Pentax digital camera and a Scandisk card reader on my computer.I bought a 512 mb Sandisk SD card and it worked fine for about a year. But one day it crashed my camera to the extent that I couldn't turn the camera off, and I thought the camera was broken. When I tried to read the card in the card reader, it crashed my computer (when I removed the card from the readerWindows came back). When I put a different brand card in the camera, it came back to life, good as new.DON'T BUY SCANDISK!

long time
This gives me like 2 hours of movie in my 2.1 camera. Works and copies fast to my laptop.

Great Card!
I've really enjoyed the card so far. It worked great the first time I put it in my Kodak digital camera and I took 738 pictures the next week when I visited New York City. I'm very impressed and excited about using it for a long time like my two-year old 64 MB Sandisk card.

Card Works Great....Most of the Time!
SanDisk makes really great SD cards, however, these 512mb's have given me the most trouble out of all of them. Most of the time, transfer is quick and easy for any file. I can put a file on the card and take it off at anytime. However, every once and a while, especially on cameras, the file almost seems to become corrupt. This problem actually happens on the card, for I have conducted numerous tests, all showing that the card messes up the file. It really only happens once in a blue moon, but when it does, it's quite a hinderance. Regaurdless of the fact, SanDisk really makes the most reliable products and at a good price, so if you are looking for a nice sized SD card, this is probably the way to go! ... Read more

Excellent!
This high quality memory is made by Toshiba in Japan (and is not Chinese junk like some manufacturer's SD memory cards).No problems whatever.

Do not order this product from amazon
The shipping take very very long , I try buying this for my
wife business trip , she was already back from the trip,Amazon
has not shipped to me.

Good Card
I use this for my Canon sd300 camera and so far I have no issues with this card.It is fast when taking and downloading pictures and when deleting pictures that you just took.For the price this is a really great card (the best value out there) and I am definately going to get another one thanks to the great deals with the rebates.

Works as expected
I've owned this memory card for about 2 1/2 months now and taken around 100-150 pictures split up between about 5 or 6 different transfers to my computer.I'm using it on a Canon SD200 camera.

I have had no errors, the pictures store and transfer as fast or faster than the factory 16MB card that came with my camera.

So far so good!

works well
I bought this when I bought my HP Photosmart R707.This card stores a ton of pictures, and it transfers photos quickly to my computer, and without any problems.So far, so good. ... Read more

Greatmemory card & great price.
I'm already using an identical card in my Canon Digital Rebel. Ordered this one as a second card & back up. I paid $59.95 at CompUSA, plus sales tax. This one from Amazon.com comes out to be $34.95 (with rebate). No shipping, no tax. Card works great. Fast and reliable. Another reviewer is right...with a $1000 camera why would anyone get a "cheap" off-brand memory card?

Good price; fast write speed; no trouble
I haven't had this card long, but I've been very pleased with its performance.I have a Canon S10 IS.This particular camera takes very good movie clips--approaching that of DVD.This card keeps upwith all that information as the movie clip is being taken, and finishes up very quickly when you stop recording.It, of course, performs well taking pictures, too.The short story is: I've been pleased with the Ultra II and like to think it's worth the extra money.

don't forget to backup your camera
The Ultra II CF card is a great product, but with all microelectronics there will always be the possibility of a DOA, or catastrophic crash when you least expect it.Yet we see these painful reports about people who've "lost all the pictures from the trip of a lifetime, and it's all SanDisk's fault!"

Hey, it's a computer!Back it up!If you can afford the high end digital camera and the ticket to Paris, you can afford something like the EZDigiMagic 20GB backup device that fits in the palm of your hand and lets you save your stuff whenever you want.And voila, your life won't be ruined again!

Totally disappointed
I brought the card brand new, used it less than 5 times and it died during my own wedding.

To make it even worse, pictures were not recoverable.

My tips:
*Think twice when buying this card
*Buy couple small cards (say 256Mb)instead of one big card.

Your reader may not work with this card!
I purchased this card for use with my Canon Digital Rebel.I had been told by other digital SLR users that they did not notice an increase in performance with the high speed cards and I now must agree with them.This Ultra II card does not work any faster and does not impact my camera performance under normal picture taking because my camera buffers images.The only time that I can foresee an advantage would be during rapid picture taking, but how often does the average photographer do that?

The BIG DISADVANTAGE is if you want to use this card with your existing card reader.I tried using the Ultra II card with my card reader and ran into trouble when I tried to read or to write to the card.The computer either reported I/O errors or the process took a minute per image.Not exactly the blazing speeds which were promised.I contacted Sandisk about the problem and they told me that Ultra II cards will not work with older readers including older Sandisk readers.If you want to use this card, you need a new reader.This is a big disadvantage for someone like myself who travels a lot and counts on using internet cafes to transfer images to CD's to clean space on the compactflash cards while traveling.I dont have a choice of which reader the internet cafe uses and therefore, I may not be able to use this card while on the road.

I also notice no significant difference in speeds when downloading from my camera via a USB connection.This may be because I am not using USB 2.0.

In summary, this card is not worth the extra expense if you do not have a brand new reader using USB 2.0.If you have an older reader, you will need to upgrade to a new reader that can work with Ultra II (I am sure that Sandisk will happily sell you one.)For my money, I will stick with Viking compactflash rather than to ever purchase another Ultra II.

Broke and up the creek with no warranty...
I bought one of these when I bought my Canon s70 less than two months ago. The card has rolled over and died on me. I went to the retailer and they said that the defect is a manufacturer issue. We went to the packaging for warranty details and there is NO warranty listed on the packaging other that it is warranted to work (fit) in compactflash cameras. The brand of card next to it on the shelf (Kodak) had a 5 year warranty for functionality.

Nextime is Kodak for me

Defective Card
I had ordered a Cannon s500 a week before I went on vacation and after receiving the camera I decided I needed more than a 32 meg card for my trip.I read several reviews of cards on amazon and for the most part had the impression that Sandisk, though an off brand, made decent and reliable cards.Due to time constraints I purchased this model at a local Best Buy and left for a weekend of relaxation and enjoyment.My first night on vacation after taking a few pictures my camera gave me a weird Memory Error message.I couldn't change from capture mode to view mode to delete/format the memory card, in fact I couldn't even power the camera down.I had to remove the battery to get it to turn off.After messing with it for several minutes, removing the memory card and seeing how the camera functioned minus the card I realized the card was jacked and causing my camera to malfunction.Thus, I was unable to take pictures during my entire vacation.Needless to say, I WAS LIVID because I was on an island and there weren't any Best Buys around to return the card and get a new one.As a result, I felt I had to post here on this review section and say DO NOT BUY THIS COMPANY'S PRODUCTS!I'm now ordering a Kingston version of this card in hopes that a brand name will provided a better quality product.

Fine for consumer digicams
This is a good card for virtually all Point and Shoot consumer digital cameras. If you are using a Digital SLR, then you need a faster card, say the Sandisk Ultra II. The write speed is a little slow, but that shouldn't be a problem for all but a few select digital cameras. For most people, 512M should be more than enough. Depending on your camera, you could get 300-400 pictures.

This is my first CF card, as I've used SD cards for a couple of years on another camera. I'm not wild about CF, but that's the format of my equipment. I think Sandisk cards are as good a brand as you can buy, but just know their limitations.

Excellent price for the storage, but a little slow
I upgraded to this card from a 128MB SanDisk card to use with my Canon Powershot G6. The card is definitely worth it for the money, but if you plan to use it long-term, I would suggest shelling out the extra dollars and going with the Ultra II model. When uploading images, there will be a noticeable difference in speed. If you're an amateur photographer just looking for extra storage, or a person who doesn't mind waiting a little longer in exchange for saving a bit of money, this card can definitely get you by.

I own a Canon S400, and between this card and my lexar high speed card, there is no noticable difference in speed. I would recommend this card for any general user with devices that use CF. A great price from a great media maker. ... Read more

I'm about to buy it but still unsure....
Sorry , this is not a review but rather a question and not even about the product itself....
Most reviewer talk about how good the Sandisk 1Giga Pro Duo works in their PSP.....
Not being an American and not knowing all the techno lingo , please , can anyone tell me what a PSP is ...? ( something to do with the Play Station..?? )
I just bought the Sony DSC T 33 today and as I'm going on a wild trip very soon I need to buy enough memory so I can shoot all the pics I want. This 1 Giga Memory Stick Pro Duo has the best
price-MB relation , the 1 Giga Sony Red Memo Stick Pro Duo I want is not available and heaven knows when it will be .... So....
Lexar has no 1 Giga , so there's no big choice....
Either Sandisk for U$ 119.88 or the Sony for US 367.00 or so.....
Well... anyone can still tell me what a PSP is...? I'm going to buy this Sandisk Memo Stick right now.....

No PSP should be without it.
This is just the thing you need to get the most out of your PSP. I already have quite a few videos and mp3's on my1GB PSP memory stick pro duo and their is still room for more! It's worth every penny. The 512MB is around 80 bucks, so fo just 40 more dollars save some cash and get twice the size. You won't regret it.

Wonderful, recommend to everyone
It's the perfect stick. It's the same as the special "Yellow" one, but it's cheaper, and comes with an adapter. You have to use the adapter with most memory card readers, since they don't usually read the memory stick duo sized chips. But I've put it into 3 seperate readers, and they all worked. I have not tried this chip in my digital camera which takes Memory Stick Pro media (the larger one) but Sony says it should work.

A previous reviewers said it was incompatible, but Sony says it will work in any device which supports Memory Stick Pro or Memory Stick Pro Duo. It is incompatible with Memory Stick devices (without the Pro or Duo in their names).

Works great!!
Despite what the other review says i have had no problems transfering data using my built in card reader in my Sony Vaio.Good price, comes with the Standard Memory Stick adapter.Works great with PSP.

Uncompatible
Yes it is a great bargain for the MB versus dollars, but it is not 100% compatible with all Pro-devices.Unable to download or move files via the MemoryStick Pro slot on the Vaio Sony computer.The only way I can download is to have the memory-stick in a device such as PSP or camera and then move the files via USB.Not an efficient way nor convenient way since it would be easier to use the memory-stick slot.What is the slot for anyway then?It works with all my other memory sticks, but not his one.Manufacturer (SanDisk) not any help at this time and too costly to send back. ...

Missing the point
The xd card is a great addition to digital photography in that it offers lots of storage in a very small form factor...hence smaller and lighter digital cameras. The xd picture cards are as fast or faster than other formats. Added to this, the Olympus picture card allows those who use the Camedia software from Olympus to stitch together several separate shots and make them into fantastic panoramas. Note that only the Olympus cards allow this feature to be used. As far as the "oh, no, another different memory card" people are concerned, I think they miss the whole point. It is not a matter of another format, as much as it is a reflection of new technology arriving on the scene. Of course, they will have to convert over to the xd card format if they want to utilize the new tech, but why cry about it? New tech will always leave people behind who refuse to 'get with the program'. The arguments for not being happy about new tech is as old as the people who once complained about flying machines not being meant for humans.

As far as the negatives of the Olympus XD card, the primary one is the cost. It is more expensive than its competitors, but as with all electronic items, this too will pass and the items will become cheaper. As for all the complainers, if you don't like the new format, then *don't buy it*! As for the rest of us, we'll go on our merry way enjoying the benefits of the new xd card.

Only Olympus cards support Panorama feature
If you are interested in Panorama feature which is available in many Olympus digital cameras..make sure you buy "Olympus xD card".
Do not buy Fujifilm or Lexar or other brand.
All Olympus Xd Card covers have BOLD letter stating "Supports Panorama". Make sure you check that before buying a xD-card.

Great card
I bought this card as the 16 MB card included with my camera was really not worth using.I have used this card EXTENSIVELY and never had a problem.It writes quickly, transfers quickly and produces top notch images.Highly recommend - it is better than the Fuji xD card.

Initial access speed slow?
I picked up one of these a few weeks ago to complement my 128mb and 64mb cards.The first thing I notice is it takes longer for the camera (Olympus C-60) to ready itself to shoot when using the 256 card instead of the 128s or 64s.This has caused me to miss a few shots already.While it's nice to be able to take 175 HQ shots without having to change the card, I'm not sure how I feel about the tradeoff with that initial access speed.I've taken to leaving the camera open to avoid it, which runs the battery down faster.

Much Quicker performance than I had anticipated,,,
Having had some experience with 256M FlashCards, I was about to turn this card down & just buy a 128M card (adding another one if I needed more capacity), but the salesperson convinced me to take this one. While not as seamless & perfect as film cameras, I was pleasantly surprised by the ubwexpected speed of this card. ... Read more

Explanation of PRO and MagiGate!!!
I have been reading the reviews and am surprised at the misinformed statements contained. First off, Memorystick Pro is a newer format that regular memorystick which has differences in access times and overall capacity. Regular memorysticks are limited to 128 MB and are slower than the Pro variety which goes to 2GB. The Memorystick Select is 2 128 MB memorysticks combined into one and divided by a switch. The reason it exists was to raise the limit on memorysticks but it has the drawback that you have to take the memorystick out and move the switch to access the other half of the memory on the card. Newer Clies and cameras accept the Pro Memorystick but earlier units can not use them. The way to know is on the unit itself. Both my camera and my Clie accept the Pro variety.

Now onto MagiGate, it is a security format needed for storing Music in ATRAC format. This proprietary format is according to some sources the format music on MiniDiscs is. Now for a camera, MagiGate does not make a difference but on a Clie for Music MagiGate is probably better so you can take advantage of this format without sacrificing the ability to save files in MP3 format.

Now onto the size and price considerations. At the moment the difference in price from 128 MB to 256 MB is less than between a 256 and a 512. By this I mean 2 times the price of 128 is significantly more than the price for 1 256 while the price of 2 256 is a lot closer the the price of 512. For me this means the most adecuately priced is the 256 MB.

Decently Priced and No Switching Nonsense
Yes, a little on the expensive side, but compared to Sony and Lexar, it's still cheaper.

I almost bought a regular memory stick, which would've required me to flip a small switch once I used up 128 mb (my parents have old folks' vision, and the switching would've driven them nuts). This Memory Stick Pro does not require any switching nonsense, making it very convenient to use.

I haven't had any problems with my purchase. It is also compatible with Sony LCD TVs that contain a port for Memory Sticks.

Great low cost solution
This memory card is reliable and it's a perfect fit for my Sony 5.1 Megapixel Cybershot DSC-P93A.

On my camera, you can store the following number of images:5MP = 98, 3MP = 158, 1MP = 380, VGA = 1520.This is significantly more than you can get on the card that comes with the camera (32MB).

The prices vary wildly for this item.Not knowing any better, the week that I bought my camer, I purchased three of these cards for; $57, $47 and $37 respectively.Be sure to price shop before you buy.

Reliable and cheap
This Sandisk 256MB Memory Stick flash memory card is reliable and it's a perfect fit for the latest Sony digital cameras and Clie handhelds.Sandisk designs their own memory controller circuits and they are good at making the Memory Stick compatible with all new Sony products.As long as you don't drop this or soak it in water (why would you do that?), you should expect many years of solid service out of this.

BTW, you shouldn't be paying more than $40 for this, and as of today (1/3/05) Amazon has the best price.Shop around if Amazon price goes above $40 (before rebate).

The Sandisk 512MB Memory Stick Pro flash card is also good, although some Sony products may not be able to use all 512MB.Check your Sony manual before you buy.Good thing Amazon does offer a 30-day money back guarantee.

Great, but very expensive product
I had recieved for the holidays a Sony Cybershot Digital Camera (DSC-P73), which did come with a 16MB memory stick. The 16MB memory stick would be nice for low reslution pics and vids, but I personality enjoy full screen, and the 16MB is clearly not enough. So, I also recieved this as a gift. I'm glad I didn't get anything smaller, because there wouldn't be enough to hold enough. If I got something bigger, it would be much to expensive, and I would be wasting money for a bunch of space I didn't use and never would use. With this, it gives a good amount of pics capacity and you can film about 11 minutes on the 640 standard version. Though, this is not a very big memory stick such as the 512MB, it does cost a lot of $$. Also, Sony and Sandisk try to push you into buying it because of some Magicgate thing. Magicgate is not a befenit or a letdown, it's just a camera supporter. Also, the memory stick is NOT PRO. All memory stick are the same and the only difference between any of them would be the size capacity. So, go ahead and buy this memory stick, considering you will probably need it on the long run if you are into high resolution, but remember that Magicgate and Memory Stick Pro are things to convince you to buy it and really have no difference whatsoever. ...

Can you say SLOW.
One word to describe the Viking 256 MB Secure Digital Flash Card is SLOW. I used it for my Kodak Easy Share camera and it will not stay in the little slot it is suppose to. I've tried it in different cameras and have the same problems. Did I say it was slow?

S......L.......O.......Wto write but read is great
I'm using the viking 256MB for a Palm T|T.It takes for ever to write such a 1MB file will take over 5 minutes.I've had to cancel saving MP3 files (~5MB) on the card since I couldn't wait after 10 minutes.You get what you pay for.However, I gave it an average rating since the reading capability is definitely faster.So if cost is a factor and you don't mind waiting then get this before the rebate is over.

Decent for the price
This is a great :Value for money card- I am using it with my Canon Powershot A510 and it is slightly slow but nothing that I didnt expect. Decent read and write speed and good storage capability!

Simply a good SD card with a great price.
At first, I am skeptical with the brand since I'm usually using SD card made by either SanDisk or Lexar. But it turned out this brand work quite well. I am using this SD card for my Canon SD110. Already a good price after 75% off, plus $16 mail-in-rebate. No complain.

I didn't expect blazing speed but its good enough.
I guess since my expectations for this card were low, I got more than what I expected.

On a single large file test, it achieved a write speed of 16.5X and a read speed of 46X. So, no its not a high speed card, but I have had bottom line LExars write at much slower speed than this for more money. ... Read more

Must have for the Motorola V7101
I recently bought this little baby to use in my new Motorola cell phone.I haven't had any problems with it so far, despite the fact that is is very tiny when not in the adapter which IS included.Holds almost 4 cd's and plenty of pictures. Amazons price is the best around, as always.Why even look anywhere else? Especially with their free shipping!I'm truely dedicated to do all my shopping at AMAZON.COM; keep up the great work!

A V710 must have!
This transflash card is a must have if you own a Motorola V710.It allows you to move pictures to your PC very easily.Better yet, it allows you to move audio to the phone to use as a MP3 player.As mentioned in the other review, it comes with the SD card adapter. My laptop has a SD slot, so it doesn't get much easier to use. Buy it and be able to use more of the features of the V710. Got a great price here on Amazon with free shipping!

TransFlash to Secure Digital Adapter INCLUDED!
After emailing Amazon to enquire if this particular model came with the TransFlash to SD card adapter and receiving a response that they didn't know, I contacted SanDisk with the model number to find out on my own. Their response was much more helpful, SanDisk said that all their TransFlash cards come with the SD card adapter (Secure Digital). I have a Motorolla V710, all I had to do to put MP3's (which can be used for ringers) onto this card is format it in my phone and then use a memory card reader to add MP3's to the card. Easy, Quick and Effective. This is a great product for the price, buy it and enjoy! ... Read more

Been working good for me
Bought this a week ago and it works perfectly.To all the people having problems recognizing the card in the PSP, you probably tried to format it on your PC.It says in the PSP manual to NEVER format the memory card in your PC, as your PSP will not be able to recognize it once you do this.

If you have to format the card, there's an easy and quick way to do it in the PSP option menu.NEVER format your memory card on your PC!

Well, I'm happy with this thing, no problems so far and you cant beat that price.

great product! but read my review as an fyi...
first of all, i'm not reviewing this memory stick based on an irrelevant circuit city snafu with their price last year... nor am i reviewing it based on psp use.

i am reviewing this 512mb sandisk memory stick duo pro (as pictured here at amazon), based on the use with a sony digital camera, sony dsc-t7.

i initially purchased this at a brick and mortar store and was enthused at the terrific price for it, similar to amazon's price. however, upon inserting it, it did not feel right. it seemed like i was in for the negative reviews which people have been posting...
i fliped it, turned it over, it didn't seem right. it fit the slot sliding in and i pushed it down. i ended up having to remove it with a tweezer! lol.

simply put, i got a defective card.

upon returning it to the store, i insisted that it was defective and asked them if i could exchange it. due to the aforementioned circumstance, i wanted the sales rep to open the package and i wanted to see if the stick fit in the camera. low and behold, the new one did and the camera immediately recognized it. it's perfect and has been working very well.

just be aware, if you are going to a brick and mortar store, bring your camera and make sure that it actually FITS! you will save yourself the hassle of returning, explaining, contesting, exchanging, etc. if you go click and mortar, open the package immediately and test it right away. do not bring an unopened package to a vacation spot somewhere, only to be disappointed that it doesn't fit or that it may even damage your camera if you try to force it.

aside from the slight annoyance of exchanging it, it works perfectly and it functions like a normal memory stick should for a digicam... for storing, retrieving and transfering pictures taken. am very happy with it!

same problem as everyone else...
This card works fine in my computer, but I bought it for my PSP. everyone at my work swore by this card. they don't seem to have any trouble with it (YET!) but i'm having a lot of the same problems as some of the reviews i've read. the card isn't recognized by my PSP whatsoever. I haven't gotten it to work once. If you're buying this for PSP, be warned! you may get lucky, and it may work... or it may not. thanks.

Great Card!
I got this for my PSP and it works great.Much better than Sony card, especially given price.

Worked great...for about a week
Like many others, I purchased this for use in my Sony PSP.I loaded it up with some MP3's before getting on an 8 hour flight and it worked great.About a week later it suddenly stopped working.The PSP no longer recognizes it and when I plug it into my laptop I get a message saying the card needs to be formatted.No problem, just format it, right?Well, when I try to format it I get a message saying that the card can not be found.

I really liked this product at this price...it's a shame it didn't work. ... Read more

Card OK but not for use with high resolution cameras
I bought this card when I purchased a 7 MP camera (Nikon Coolpix 7900). I love the camera, but the slow speed of this SD card makes it sluggish when taking pictures. I haven't had any problems with the card, so I am not saying it is a bad card. It is just not fast enough for a high resolution camera. So I am buying another high speed SD card, and intend to use this card as an emergence backup.

Compatible
I am using this card in a camcorder panasonic, and also in a Kodak easyshare.I don't need to format the card, both devices recognize it and also both read the information already stored.
I have another one from other brand, 128Mb and so far the difference is the label.

works as it should
I bought this when I bought my Nikon 5200. This card stores a ton of pictures,and it transfers photos quickly to my computer, and without any problems.So far,so good.

How many pictures will it store?
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 512MB Secure Digital Card, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 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 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Works fine in my MP3 player and for file transfer
No problems, over the last two months, works like a champ.Kind of mad that the standard for everything is shifting towards SD, because I like the extra storage capacity of CF and it seems a little sturdier to me.I used to buy Crucial or SanDisk, but now Kingston is all I own.I've had no problems with the other Kingston chips (CF) that I've had for the past year and they all seem more than fast enough to keep up with my other portable devices. ...

Solid, consistent performance
Interesting to see the other reviews on this product...I'm on my second camera, the first having been an HP, my current one a Konica Minolta Dimage A1.Have a variety of capacities of SanDisk card, including this 256. All have performed over the past four years without a single glitch; have taken probably 3,000 shots or so, all highest resolution on a 5 megapixel camera.So, at least on the Dimage A1, this user has experienced no compatibility problems, and only high performance.

Became unreadable
One minute it worked, the next it didn't . . . same thing happened to a friend of mine's.Both cards were under a year old.Neither my camera, multi-card reader or my computer would recognize it. Fortunately, I'd copied the all photos on it to my computer just before it died!

Useless Piece of GARBAGE
Oh, How I WISH I read the reviews here before buying this. I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones though - The card was useless
right off the bat - I didn't loose any pictures or data. I got a "Protected Card" message in my HP digital camera which made the card useless and a "Card Error" message in my HP printer. Returned the card. Second card, exact same problem. Returning it too. The eBay seller is refunding my purchase price only - I'm out 15.00 in postage & "Handling" - He also claims that the 1st card I sent back is working "perfectly" (HA!) and that my camera must not be "compatable" with SanDisk (Rubbish!). My camera CAME WITH a 32mb SanDisk card that works great. I bought a SimpleTech 256MB card from Amazon and it works beautifully in both my camera and printer.
My advise: RUN AWAY! Buy ANYTHING ELSE but a SanDisk 256MB card made in China and if you're a gambling type and decide to buy a SanDisk after reading all these horror stories, for the Love of God,DON'T buy it on eBay!

Died after little use
I bought one of these to use in my digital camera because I have another card by SanDisk and that one has worked just fine for years. This one died after about 50 pictures. Now I have to go through all the hassle of getting a replacement and not know if that one will last or not. Very disappointed. My original card was made in Taiwan, this new, bad one was made in China.

2 died on me taking with it dozens of pictures I took
I already owned two of these. First one died destroying all thepictures that were on it. The store replaced it for free. Then the replacement one died. Wish i just asked for my money back and have gotten panasonic sd, or even lexar. SanDisk is a terrible company, no joke. How hard is it to make these things work? ... Read more

Excellent
I bought this for my Olympus C7000. I wanted to take hi quality pics and shoot video and be able to store it. On my 32mb i could fit only 40 high quality images and on this 512mb i can fit over 500. If you s shoot video you can shoot for over 9 minutes. My battery life died before i could fill half of this memory card. I have not had any problems with it's functioning, it works perfectly. If you take average quality pics you can fit probably over a 1000 pics. It doesn't get better than this. anything bigger i wouldn't need. It's pretty hard to fill this memory card with just photos because it gives you so much space.

highly recommended and worth every penny.

This card rocks it is perfect & works like a charm i love it
& it even comes with a case 2 hold it & any other xd cards u may have . The instruction booklet is totally interactive & u will have no problem understanding once u can read.I love it & highly reccommend it to any

Do not buy this
Instead look into CF1GB-40-278 (Lexar 40x) compact flash card. This one is Type 1 and slow as molasses. For about the same price the lexar card (which is Type 2) is almost 10 times faster. If you are into digital photography with atleast 3mp cameras you need to skip this card and get a faster one.

Best Value on Market; But You Must Know What You're Buying
The fact of the matter is, at the time of writing this review, there is no better value than this 1 GB disk. It is not as fast as many that you can purchase, but even for me taking wedding photos, my on-camera cache is enough to compensate for that speed. For the average or even semi-professional photographer (unless your goal is to be taking many rapid-fire shots) even this slow speed should be more than enough.

SanDisk quality and their 5 year manufacturer's warranty make this card that much better of a value over the no-name cheap competition.

The card is not perfect. It may fail and you will be stuck with 1 Gig of corrupted imgaes. That could happen with any card that you purchase. The card is slower than some, but most of the cameras being sold today have at least a 4 picture cache which means you will rarely even notice the effects under normal shooting conditions. The card is not the cure-all for the digital storage world, but at the time of writing this review it was only about fifty-nine bucks making it the best value out there that I have seen, all this with no-cost shipping and no sales tax.

So take the plusses and the minusses into account and make your choice...unless you have very special needs that would necessitate a faster card, this will probably be what you should choose.

How many pictures will it store?
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 SanDisk SDCFB-1000-A10 1GB CF Type 1 Card, like most 1000MB cards, will store on average 1137 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 853 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,512 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 409 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 320 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.

One last thing to consider when buying a 1000MB card.Do not necessarily choose the least expensive card available.A 1000MB card should be an investment.You need to consider quality, reliability, and speed with a card of this capacity.Worse case scenario would be you taking this card (and only this card) on vacation with you overseas and for some reason it gets corrupted.Then what do you do?Purchasing a high capacity card changes the game a little, just be mindful of that before you hit the buy button.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Yep..It's slow
I planned on using this in my PDA for music.Its slowness led to skipping and the more files I added the slower it got until it was unusable.I guess that's why they don't tell you the transfer rate.

Bad batch
I have used CompactFlash cards before, having great s
