Review of Fujifilm 128 MB XD Picture Card

It's a memory card. If this is the format your camera (or other device) uses, it works. If it's not the right format, no need to read any further.
Is this the right size for you? At the 3.2 megapixel "fine" setting, my camera will store about 100 pictures, depending on how complex your pictures are.
On a more practical level, if you're not planning on turning your photos into 8x10 prints, and you use a lower resolution, you can pack a heck of a lot of pictures on one card.
At the time of this writing, 256MB cards are still on the drawing board, and many devices that use XD memory may need firmware upgrades to use them if (when) they do make it to market. Smaller cards are not usually proportionally smaller priced, so IMHO, if you have a device that uses XD memory, this is the right card for you.

Review of SanDisk SDCFX3-004G-A31 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card (Retail Package)

Contrary to the rating given by the previous reviewer, having a camera that is incapable of keeping up with the speed of the card is not a basis for a mediocre rating on the card itself. I've got an EOS 20D and I find this card much faster than my 512 Mb Sandisk Ultra II card. I highly recommend the card for those with cameras that have a high speed buffer. It allows many more pictures in a burst than the manufacturers claim because they base their estimates on slower cards. This card is well worth the money if you shoot a lot of high speed activities like sports, racing, airshows, fast moving animals, etc.

Review of SanDisk Ultra Compact Flash 2GB Card (SDCFH-002G-A11) (Retail Package)

With fast shooting high mega pixel cameras, the CF card can be a major performance factor.Why have one of these cameras and use a card that cannot keep up?When I bought my 8.2 mp Canon 20D, I decided it was time to get a second CF card so the research started.

The Ultra II cards write with a minimum of 9 mb/sec. and read at 10 mb/sec.These fast write speeds are desirable with large image files.There are cameras with buffers to hold images while writing to the card during continuous shots.At some point if the card cannot write fast enough, your camera will stop shooting until the buffer clears enough room.

This card has a high impact rating.For example; if you were to accidentally drop this card 10-foot up to then hit the floor, this card is rated to sustain the fall without damage.

Sometimes the trade off on price comes from power consumption.Lower priced cards may use more power to do the same job as this card.The low power consumption of this card means a longer battery life.

People generally want to know how many images a card will hold.This is a difficult question to answer and greatly depends on both the card and the camera it is used in.The number of images this card will hold on my 20D also depends on the settings used.Let me provide a few settings and image counts for an idea of what this card holds.

Shooting Raw w/ISO 100 - 221 images
Shooting Raw w/ISO 800 - 206 images
Shooting Large jpeg - 479 images
Shooting Medium jpeg - 825 images
Shooting Small jpeg over 999 images (the 20D cannot provide counts above 999)

I use both a 1GB and a 2GB card shooting primarily raw images. Sometimes the 1GB card is more than adequate, but other times I could easily fill the 1GB card quickly.There have been many days where I have taken 200-300 pictures without the opportunity to transfer my images.The 2GB card not only gives me more storage space, but also permits me to change the card in a slow moment before it completely fills up.It is truly aggravating to lose a shot because your card filled up.For these reasons I tend to prefer the 2GB cards.When considering the card size, one should attempt to balance convenience with capacity. Having one card for all your images may be convenient, but it is also putting all your eggs in one basket.

Worried about reliability? It's backed with a lifetime limited warranty outside Europe.The warranty excludes any defects, malfunctions, performance failures or damages to the card resulting from use in other than its normal and customary manner, misuse, accident or neglect; or improper alterations or repairs.

PROS:
Reliable
Fast read/write
Impact resistant
Low power consumption
Backed by a lifetime limited warranty

CONS:
None

Review of Transcend Ultra Speed - Flash memory card - 128 MB - SD

I got this 80X SD Card for my Canon SD450, and it's working great. I researched a lot about high speed SD cards and found this the best value for money. Also, I compromised with a 1 GB card because I think it's quite enough.

I have used several cameras (using SD, XD cards or sony's memory stick), and each time I have been transferring the pics there is a very long pause. NOT anymore! On a USB 2.0, transferring the first 150 pictures (each 2+ MB) from my camera to my computer took less than a minute.

For those of you who don't know 80X equals 80 X 150KB = about 12 MB per second speed. I am sure faster cards will give better performance but I don't think you need anything faster than this for the money you pay. Also, shooting using the burst mode (taking 15 pictures in less than 8-10 secs) was a breeze. I researched a lot for these cards and I think this is a good deal. I bought it from one of the outside vendors at Amazon (thememstore) and they gave me good service for a good price.

Review of Sony 128 MB Memory Stick Media (MSH-128) (Retail Package)

I bought the Sony 128 MB Memory Stick (MSH-128) a few months ago, but I only used it once. When I was in my 20th picture, an error appeared in the screen of my Sony P100 camera:

Error C:13:01, Memory Stick failed

First, I went to Sony Service Center, but they didn't know what was happening. Then, I went to different Sony Stores, but the only answer they gave me was that my Memory Stick is failed, that it's impossible to fix or format it and, the worst, there is no way to save the pictures !!!!

Finally, I tried to solved it by myself, and I "google" the C:13:01 error. If you do it, you will find hundreds of people with the same problem, looking for a solution.

That's why I don't recommend this product. If all of us have the same problem, you can be the next.

Product Description:
The photo capture speed, or "click-to-click time" with which one can take consecutive photographs is a critical component of photography. The primary factors affecting the capture speed are the speed of the camera processor and the write speed of the digital film (the time it takes to store an image to the digital film). As cameras with faster processing capabilities appear in the market, the sustained write capabilities of digital film will be the key metric for evaluating digital film speed. With advances in photo-resolution and the corresponding larger memory requirements, the speed with which film can write, and subsequently stored, will become increasingly more important.Lexar Media CompactFlash cards come in a variety of sizes making it easier for you to find the capacity that best suits your personal needs and best matches your camera's capabilities. No more worrying about whether your memory cards will work in your CompactFlash digital camera. All Lexar Media CompactFlash cards are 100% guaranteed to be compatible with your CompactFlash camera. Each Lexar Media CompactFlash card adheres to the specifications established by the CompactFlash Association. This is further assurance that your Lexar Media CompactFlash card will be compatible with digital cameras and other devices that accept CompactFlash cards.This card transfer rate is 4X speed (600 Kb/sec), in a range capacities.

Product Description:
Lexar Media's high-speed digital film helps your camera capture images faster, so you spend more time taking pictures and less time waiting on your camera. Lexar's CompactFlash cards are individually speed rated so you know the minimum capability of the card. Lexar uses the same rating system used by the CD-ROM industry, where a data transfer rate of 1x equals 150 kilobytes per second (KBps). The higher the speed rating, the faster your camera will be able to write images to the memory card.
For professional shooters who need immediate confirmation they've captured the shot or who want to identify accurate exposure levels or bracketing range, Lexar's patented 12X speed (1.8 MBps) transfer rate makes the card ideal for fast-paced applications such as photojournalism, sports, and fashion. And Lexar's solid-state design provides reliability in harsh shooting environments, mandated by professionals throughout the world.
The Digital Film Compliance seal assures you that your Lexar Media digital film is 100 percent compatible with your CompactFlash digital camera. It can also be used in all other digital devices that support the CompactFlash format, such as PDAs, video recorders, and MP3 players.

Review of Kingston Technology CF/128 128MB Compactflash Card ( CF/128 ) (Retail Package)

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 Technology CF/128 128MB Compactflash Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 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 card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Review of SimpleTech STI-CF/128 128MB CompactFlash Card

After reading serveral posts about simpletech cards having trouble working in Nikon digital cameras, I decided to called Nikon myself. They told me, and this is from the horses mouth. That Simpletechs flash cards use a hitachi controller, the fastest one on the market today. These controllers don't work well with Nikon cameras because the hitachi controller writes the different parts of the image to the flash card simultaenously giving the card greater speed. But the contollers in the Nikon cameras do not write the image simlutaenously instead they write the image one piece at a time, this is slower, but it works according to Nikon. I then asked why other maunfacuters cards work with Nikon and they said that those manufactuers use their own controller tweeked to work with Nikon. The tech guy at Nikon happened to mention that Nikon will soon be introducing a new line of digital cameras with the new faster controller that will work fast and flawlessly with the simpletech cards. Lastly, he assured me that there is nothing wrong or inferior about Simpletech cards. I bought one after all!
There's my 2 cent to this playground argument!

Review of SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash Card

About a year ago, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 950 digital camera.The "wimpy" 8 MB CompactFlash card that came with the unit would onlyhold one (1) uncompressed, high-resolution picture - I needed more.Istarted looking and found this; the SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash.I read onthe Nikon technical support web page that SanDisk is the OEM for Nikon'sCompactFlash cards, so I felt pretty safe selecting this card.The onlyquestion I had was "would my Coolpix 950 work with a card thislarge?"The answer is a resounding YES!(according to friends, itwill work in the new Coolpix 990 also)
The card formatted in the cameraperfectly and has simply worked for the past nine months.I shoot allpictures in high resolution with a moderate compression level, allowing meto store more than 110 - 2.1 MegaPixel pictures in the camera - plenty forme.Recently, we took a five-day trip to Disney World - this card capturedALL of our pictures perfectly.If you get this, check out one of the USBcard readers as well - the serial connection is just way too slow fortransferring this much data.

Review of SanDisk SDCFB-128-A10 CompactFlash 128 MB

I have one of these for use in a Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera.
At the highest resolution, 2048x1536, you can average about 100 shots on the card before you have to start deleting pics to free up space.
Who needs such a huge card?Well, I prefer to use a larger CF card and take the highest-rez pic possible, rather than play around adjusting resolutions out in the cold and rain.Who knows - you may get that 'killer pic' you want to blow up to 11x14, and only realize it once you're back at your computer!You can always rescale a picture down later.
With this card, I can go on vacation and take a week's worth of pics, no problem, no fussing around with swapping cards.This card is great!
