Pros: cheapCons: not fully compatible with Canons DPP program and only showin 15GB of space , Not 16.cheap not fully compatible with Canons DPP program and only showin 15GB of space , Not 16. This is my second try with this card . I have discovered that lightroom and phototshop do not detect any corrupted photos when viewing on my PC, however Canons DPP still shows 15-50 percent corrupted. Still bummed about my camera only seeing 15gb of free space and not the 16gb I paid for. However 15GB for the price is still acceptable asumming the rest of it works.

I bought this card and returned it after using it and seeing a 7-10% failure rate. It gave an 'unexpected end of file' error message, something I've never seen…

I was looking for an 8GIG card, for my Canon camera,and found this 16GIG one for the same price. Wow over 3480 HQ pictures in my camera. I did not realize just how…

Took some test images with Canon 40D and also used to store files from my notebook. Died completely and suddenly after about a week of light use. Tried four different computers and two operating systems and got the same error message saying the card could not be formatted. This happened on a trip to Cocos Island, Costa Rica. Luckily I was using my trusty old 2 gig card for shooting. I would have been heartbroken if I had lost pictures from my trip!

Pros: Great Value; Easy To Use; Reliable PerformanceWorks well with my Canon 7D. Even shooting video does not slow down any process at all. To be honest though, I have not tried a faster card yet, but on-line discussions describe that this speed should be good enough for the Canon 7D.

Good bang for your buck, honestly i can't really tell the diffrance between this and my Sandisk extreme card other then the cost.

Pros: Works all the time in my Canon 40D.Cons: Never had any problems at all.Works all the time in my Canon 40D. Never had any problems at all. I have never had a memory card "break" and don't really understand why it would if you take care of it. I only take about 2,000 pictures a year, so maybe I need to be more hard core about my photography and then stuff will break.

Pros: UDMA support, cheapCons: None for this price rangeUDMA support, cheap None for this price range Works great for the 7D video. In JPG mode it can take non-stop 8fps bursts of 18MP jpegs. It can handle the Canon EOS 7D's 1080p video no problem.

Pros: High capacity - Low priceCons: Slow, flaky operation. Downloads of pictures even with card reader took FOREVER.High capacity - Low price Slow, flaky operation. Downloads of pictures even with card reader took FOREVER. I bought this because it was on sale and the capacity was huge. I got it to use in my Canon XTi and for a while it worked great. Then, while shooting it started to act up. I reformated it and lost 50% of the capacity. I bought a 16Gb card but ended up with a 7.5Gb card. I dont trust it now and don't use it. I won't get another high capacity card from Transcend again. I do have a 2Gb card that works great though.

Pros: low price, high capacityCons: not so fastlow price, high capacity not so fast I've bought to transplant into my LifeDrive. Unfortunately, it does not work, I'd refunded.

I used one of these in my Rebel xTi DSLR for three concerts over three days. I copied the pictures to my PC after the first night with no problems. When I tried to copy…

Pros: Product appears to function in USB card reader.Cons: Product did not work as a replacement for the Segate 8GB MicroDrive in a Creative Zen MicroPhoto.

The apparently-discontinued-as-of-a-few-days-ago A-Data 16GB card works fine in this application.Product appears to function in USB card reader.

Pros: Compatible with a first gen ipod mini (one of the oldest Ipod mini's constructed)Cons: Did not test speed in any way. I would place my bets on the Ipod being the limiting factor.Compatible with a first gen ipod mini (one of the oldest Ipod mini's constructed) Did not test speed in any way. I would place my bets on the Ipod being the limiting factor. Tip: Before you install this in your ipod make sure your ipod is running the most recent firmware 1.4.1 before you take the hard disk out. Otherwise it will not like the CF card when you put it in. (I was running 1.3 and had to redo the whole thing because of it)

Pros: Works.Cons: Not as fast as we would have liked.Works. Not as fast as we would have liked. The 2GB version is fast enough for a G5, but the 16gb for the 50D card can't keep up. Shots with flash noticable slower than our sandiskII 2gb cards.

None - works as described. Besides transfering pictures, this card has the capability of storing, quite literally, the contents of most computer systems. Use it as an SSD backup drive for your data. Will save you the cost of 4 DVD's and fit in your pocket.

Pros: Great product. Fast, no errors yet. Have owned one for almost a year. Bought a second one for my digital camera and it couldn't work better. The first one was about $60 and the second $50. Now that they are $36, why pay lots more when these compact flash cards work so well?Cons: noneGreat product. Fast, no errors yet. Have owned one for almost a year.

Pros: Huge storage space, I could keep all my work on the computer and still have room for iTunes.Cons: DIY SSD WARNING: DO NOT USE FOR SSD, write speeds are horrible.

DIY SSD WARNING: DO NOT USE FOR SSD, write speeds are horrible. Using HD Tune PRO I got 11.7 MB/sec sequential write speed and 26.5 MB/sec sequential read speed. Tests were ran using a CF to 44-pin IDE and then a IDE to USB 2.0 adapter. 133x refers to the read speed only, write speed are less than half that. 1x = 150 KB/sec, 133x = 19.95 MB/sec. Random write speeds are less than half of sequential write speed, so when using this as as SSD, I probably got around 6 MB/sec.

Pros: works as describedCons: wish prices on these would drop and they increased in speed.works as described wish prices on these would drop and they increased in speed. used a few of these to play music in my Honda and to backup my server.

Pros: Great card for money!! Farily quickCons: Can't keep up with camera operating at 8 FPS - constantly.Great card for money!! Farily quick Can't keep up with camera operating at 8 FPS - constantly. This is my second 16GB card, I've had my first for about six months. I use these cards in a Nikon D300 that I use for sports photography. Couldn't be happier! Have never had any issues as far as lost data. The only time it hasn't kept up to the camera is in high burst (8fps), when used at several bursts in a row with no break. For single bursts with about 10 seconds between burts its fine.
For the cost this is an outstanding card!

Pros: works great in my d300 keeps up with shooting in jpeg and raw at 6 frames a second with no trobles. was get slow download speed on one of my card reader od 2.5 mb a second. switch to a newer on by laxer and got 20mb a second. the is a fast card foe the money.I have not had any troubles it out of a 2000 shot.Cons: none so farworks great in my d300 keeps up with shooting in jpeg and raw at 6 frames a second with no trobles. was get slow download speed on one of my card reader od 2.5 mb a second. switch to a newer on by laxer and got 20mb a second. the is a fast card foe the money.I have not had any troubles it out of a 2000 shot. none so far it got good speed for the nikon d300 and you can not beat the price

My 4GB mini is now a 16GB with no moving parts. None so far. New DHL shipping is a joke. I used to get things shipped from NJ that would arrive here in 1 or 2 days max. My last order a few months ago, I ordered something at 2:00pm one day and had it by 5pm the next day! I even had something from Memphis that was here in 2 days with UPS.
Now with DHL/USPS, it took 4 days and went from NJ to Mass to NY to get here. My order was a USB memory stick and this 16GB flash card...

Pros: 16 gigs and not a bad priceCons: FAILED! This CF card totally died on me yesturday!16 gigs and not a bad price FAILED! This CF card totally died on me yesturday! I was using it as a hard drive in my laptop running win xp with the page dile shut off to reduce writes to the hdd. It has totally failed. I can not get my computer to recognize it and when i put it into the cf card reader on my desktop it simply says the drive is corrupt.
Probably fine in a camera or other low write applications but it is not suitable for running xp (maybe linux?)

Pros: Card worked perfect as a plug in replacement to the iPod Mini Hard Drive. Transfer speed actually seems faster than the original drive, so this really is the best option to make a Flash based Mini. I used a first generation 4GB iPod Mini, installed the flash card, then did a restore on iTunes. The Mini reports 14.79GB free.Cons: NoneCard worked perfect as a plug in replacement to the iPod Mini Hard Drive.

Pros: Worked in my Olympus Evolt E-500. The Evolt was ready to take 2,483 SHQ jpegs on it. Took about 1000 photos (6.37 gb) on a multi-day trip (yes they were backed up along the way). Fast enough for my needs. It now lives in my iPod mini, where it is quieter, faster, and four times bigger than the original drive.Cons: Can't think of any.Worked in my Olympus Evolt E-500.

A post and comment on Geek Technique led me to this card. This card's "IDE PIO mode 6 and Ultra DMA mode 0-4" are key specifications to ensure that it will work in an iPod. Undertake that hack at your own risk.

Pros: High capacity, low priceCons: relative low transfer speedHigh capacity, low price relative low transfer speed

Pros: Large, relatively cheap. Works fine in my Nikon D300.
Holds 593 14bit uncompressed NEGF's (the largest for this camera) or many more smaller files. Used for about 1200 shots of different types so far.
No problems writing/reading/downloading. Not the fastest card but I rarely hit the buffer limit unless I try to.
Downloads from camera fairly briskly for the size, card reader is a bit slower for unknown reason.Cons: noneLarge, relatively cheap. Works fine in my Nikon D300.

Pros: Cheap, huge, fast for the moneyCons: noneCheap, huge, fast for the money none Works perfectly with my Minolta 5D. Even though this is an older camera, it formats the card to full capacity. Anyone who's camera doesn't format to full capacity should look for new firmware for their camera. If you are getting corrupt files, make sure you turn off the camera, or safely eject card in Windows before removing card.

Pros: Used to upgrade my ipod mini from 4GB microdrive to 16GB flash memory. Works perfectly, one of the few cards that will work for this application. I now have a mini with 14.8GB of storage. Aslo tried it in my Nikon D200 briefly and it functioned perfectly - but never fully utilized its capacity.Cons: Low cost, works well for this application.Used to upgrade my ipod mini from 4GB microdrive to 16GB flash memory.

Pros: great size/price/speed factorsCons: Too Slow for use as a Solid State drivegreat size/price/speed factors Too Slow for use as a Solid State drive Bought Addonic (Silicon Image) 2.5" IDE adapter for CF. Installed 2 16 GB CF in an old 2 GHz P4 portable as the disk drive. CF supports UDMA4 and boots fine. It seems the thruput is just too slow to use the CF as a hard drive. Long periods with the HD light on and nothing happening with the portable. May try the PCI controller and RAID0 them to see if I can get better performance. Transcend makes only the 8 GB x266 speed CF - no 16 GB. 8 GB is too small for a Windows portable

Pros: Worked great to upgrade an iPod Mini from 4GB microdrive to solid state. The Mini now says it has 14.9GB of storage and plays just fine. It was a bit more expensive than another brand, but I've had good luck with Transcends before.Worked fine (briefly) in my Canon EOS 20D and as a 16GB drive in my laptop when used with a cardbus adapter.Cons: n/aWorked great to upgrade an iPod Mini from 4GB microdrive to solid state.

Pros: Much less than other brands. Plenty fast for a 40D (about 103 L JPEG shots before the buffer runs out) being used casually...Sports shooters may want a faster card.

Pros: Good cost/storage ratioCons: Random write performance miserable.Good cost/storage ratio Random write performance miserable. Purchase to use with CF<->IDE adapter to replace aging notebook drive on my iBook. Read and contiguous write performance was awesome, but random write performance was miserable. Since most of the writing done by the OS is random, the card was unusably slow.

Pros: There aren't really any negatives. I've used these lower priced cards purchased from New Egg for several years - and never had a problem. Unlike my expensive Lexar which created a mess with a Canon incompatibility problem. I use mine in a 5D and with the exception of the note below, it's great.Cons: NoneThere aren't really any negatives.

I use mine in a 5D and with the exception of the note below, it's great. None Be sure your camera is able to properly handle a 16 GB card. Most more recent Canons will, but the 5D for one will not. Canon has not updated the firmware and many are concerned they won't -- yet another way to sell whatever they use replace the otherwise excellent 5D. This is what happens. If you load this into the Canon, it will recognize it as a 16GB card and it works fine. You offload the images and at some point you format the card. Congratulations, your 16 GB card has just become an 8 GB. It is possible to reformat the card, either in a cheap but recent Rebel -- and in theory you can do it via computer. I haven't had much luck with that - it's a royal pain. Canon should have warned people about this .. but...

Pros: Large capacity, good read and write speedsCons: NoneLarge capacity, good read and write speeds None This works well with a Canon EOS 40D. It holds over 1000 photos in 14MB RAW format.

Pros: Lots of space for a great price. Why pay $100's more to pretty much download your photos quicker?

Shooting RAW+JPEG is now not a problem. Not as fast as my high speed Sandisk, but how can I complain with that amount of storage. I can remember paying the same price or more for a 256 Megabyte card in 2001. Here we are in 2007 and they have increased the yield by 62 times. WOW!
