SanDisk 4.0GB Compact Flash Card

Comment:
Really rapidly; despite the fact that I have a UDMA card for my camera, I tested this card in my EOS 7D. At high speed burst rate (still photo) this card can keep up as lengthy as you preserve the shutter button pressed. It simply keeps up with 1080p video recording. I did not purchase this card for the camera but I was pleasantly surprised to uncover it can preserve up with the high burst rate. none so far

Virtually identical read and write speeds compared to the Sandisk Extreme III in each a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D and Sony DSLR-A700. That goes for both buffer full cycle times and buffer flush occasions. I'm clocking around 15MB/Second buffer flush time shooting cRAW (Compressed Raw) with a Sony DSLR-700 (just about what you'd get with an Extreme III in this camera). An Extreme IV would be roughtly twice as quickly in it. But, this is possibly the only camera on the planet that could write that rapidly anyway. ;-) Most cameras are not fast enough to take advantage of it's speed.I shot more than 800 photographs in 1 day with 1 shooting cRAW + JPEG (using around 13.5GB of space on the card) and never filled up the camera's buffer. None Super value!

Great card for funds!! Farily rapid Can't maintain up with camera operating at 8 FPS - continually. 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 in no way had any problems as far as lost data. The only time it hasn't kept up to the camera is in high burst Ƙfps), when utilised at numerous bursts in a row with no break. For single bursts with about 10 seconds among burts its fine.For the cost this is an outstanding card!

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

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 getting the limiting element. Tip: Just before you install this in your ipod make confident your ipod is running the most current firmware 1.four.1 just before you take the tough disk out. Otherwise it will not like the CF card when you put it in. (I was running 1.three and had to redo the entire thing since of it)

low-cost and significant. looses pictures each and every time i shoot. one or two images lost every single time. they get corrupt and when you download them employing a card reader or the camera, they are corrupted. I have a Canon 40D and this is the only CF card i have tried, so it's either my 񘋰 camera or this low-cost-o-card. i think it's the card.

Comment:
I get 16.8MB/sec when dowloading to my comp - absolutely nothing to sneeze at this cost point. None. Stupid Canon - I have 5D and Rebel XTi and those cameras can\'t format this card properly. I only get 8MB afer in camera format. At the moment to get 16MB I have to use HP format utility...

Low price Nikon compressed NEF raw image files are frequently corrupted and unusable. I had used earlier generation Transcend 8GB cards without any troubles, so I was pleased by the low price. The cards (I have two) seemed OK for a though, employing only a smaller fraction of their capacity. When using roughly additional than a GB, about one percent of my Nikon NEF compressed raw files were corrupted and unusable from my D3 cameras. The difficulty now occurs even in the first GB of use, possibly due to wear-leveling. I had hoped that new firmware from Nikon would make the difficulties disappear, but after many updates, this now appears unlikely. Transcend doesn't appear to provide tech support by phone, and by e-mail they would only provide to replace these with new, identical cards. I emailed to ask if they would allow me to spend the difference for an upgrade to SLC based cards and they didn't respond.

Massive storage space, I could preserve all my function on the computer system and still have space for iTunes. 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.five MB/sec sequential read speed. Tests were ran working with a CF to 44-pin IDE and then a IDE to USB two. adapter. 133x refers to the read speed only, write speed are much less than half that. 1x = 150 KB/sec, 133x = 19.95 MB/sec. Random write speeds are much less than half of sequential write speed, so when using this as as SSD, I possibly got about 6 MB/sec.

Worked wonderful 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 high-priced than an additional brand, but I've had excellent luck with Transcends ahead of.Worked fine (briefly) in my Canon EOS 20D and as a 16GB drive in my laptop when employed with a cardbus adapter. n/a n/a

Comment:
This is utilised in a Nikon D300 that writes 25 MB raw files and .jpg files and the transfer rate along with the cameras buffer in no way has left me waiting. None Superior value.

Comment:
Pros The unit is dead. Had a couple of scares but was able to recover/reformat. No additional.

Comment:
My main concern was that this fairly inexpensive card would not have the throughput to deal with HD recording, but it handles the process nicely. none that I've identified

Comment:
I bought this CF to replace a failing 4GB microdrive in a very old iPod Mini. It worked wonderfully. The size of the card fits perfectly in the case, and I'm pleased with the marginal improve in battery life. The card also has a lifetime warranty from Transcend. You won't find that on any microdrive or Apple replacement. None

Comment:
Good price/storage ratio Random write efficiency miserable. Acquire to use with CF<->IDE adapter to replace aging notebook drive on my iBook. Read and contiguous write efficiency was amazing, but random write efficiency was miserable. Since most of the writing accomplished by the OS is random, the card was unusably slow.

Comment:
16 GB of CF!!! Shooting RAW+JPEG is now not a problem. Not as fast as my high speed Sandisk, but how can I complain with that quantity of storage. I can don\'t forget paying the very same cost or a lot more for a 256 Megabyte card in 2001. Here we are in 2007 and they have elevated the yield by 62 times. WOW!

Comment:
Massive card, incredibly rapidly, extremely compatible, the cost is appropriate. Older devices don't make use of all readily available space. Firmware problems in my Canon 20D prevents this card from employing a lot more than about 7.3 GB. Nonetheless, nice to have it at the prepared for when I eventually upgrade to the 5D MKII.

An engineer's dream: Very good. Fast. Inexpensive. Nary a dilemma ... and I purchased the card when it was ๙. =)

Comment:
Huge CapacityWorks with the Nikon D300Is not SLOW*Is in fact read by each my camera, card reader, and printer with out problems. The camera can format the entire card. If you do high speed continuous shooting/photography (D300 for me) This card does pause each and every 20-30 frames (At 8FPS.) On the other hand, this is most likely not a major deal to most users.Only 133x and not 266x if you require a Rapidly card, skip this 1 and go with a 4GB A-Data Turbo 鵊x.) Though that card is smaller in size, it is quicker, significantly faster transfer rates.You can get the A-Data card here at Newegg.

Comment:
High capacity - Low cost Slow, flaky operation. Downloads of pictures even with card reader took FOREVER. I purchased this mainly because it was on sale and the capacity was large. I got it to use in my Canon XTi and for a although it worked terrific. Then, although 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 an additional high capacity card from Transcend once more. I do have a 2Gb card that works wonderful though.

Comment:
Huge capacity, superior read and write speeds None This works effectively with a Canon EOS 40D. It holds over 1000 photos in 14MB RAW format.

Comment:
Card worked excellent as a plug in replacement to the iPod Mini Difficult Drive. Transfer speed actually seems quicker than the original drive, so this genuinely is the best selection to make a Flash based Mini. I applied a first generation 4GB iPod Mini, installed the flash card, then did a restore on iTunes. The Mini reports 14.79GB free. None Use Google to appear up "iPod Mini Flash" and there are a lot of guides out there to help you. Procedure is fairly effortless, most complicated component is taking the Mini apart.

Comment:
Low Cost not SLC I thought this may be an SLC card, but it is not.

Comment:
Used to upgrade my ipod mini from 4GB microdrive to 16GB flash memory. Works perfectly, one of the couple of 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 by no means totally utilized its capacity. Low price, works nicely for this application.
