User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Not bad at all…
Bought this to breathe life into an old iPod Mini. The microdrive died and I discovered that a CF card is basically the same thing, just flash memory vs a moving disc. While this card might not be the fastest, it works perfecty as storage media for my iPod Mini. It must be fast enough to handle me flipping through my playlists, because I haven’t encountered any issues with it lagging yet.

3 Stars Good but not for HDSLR
This is a very cheap and good card but not to be used for HDSLR or DSLR. The reason is very simple that this card is too slow. Let me explain this in a simple way the write speed of this card is 133x or 20mb/s (Value of X = 150 Kbps, so 133 times 150kbps) should be good enough for a general use in a DSLR with burst of 3 or 4 fps shooting with no HD video..

I bought it for Canon EOS 7D with 8fps shooting and capable of recording True HD Video at variable frame rates. This card is fine till it is around 3-4 GB full but beyond that the buffer gets filled up and the camera will display “Busy” massage after each shot or Video recording.

If you want to use your card for HDSLR then my suggestion would be to buy at least a card with UDMA capabilities and or 30mb/s+ speed to be on a safer side.

5 Stars Best Value Price

Excellent, best value/price, very fast and reliable.

I highly recomend this product and the seller. Well packed, on time delivery and no surprise charges.

2 Stars Slow! Can’t use it all
This card is fine for normal use, just don’t fill it more than 50% or else it becomes EXTREMELY slow! Sports, kids playing, out of the question. Holidays, portraits, fine art (which I do) should be fine. But really, a better option would be to get a couple 4 or 8 gb cards instead of this one. Cheaper and better reliability and speed. I kind of regret getting this card. Size isn’t everything. Performance is MUCH more important.

4 Stars Good Card
Lots of space, works fast enough to do 1080p video on my canon, perfectly reliable so far.

5 Stars Kingston 4GB Compact Flash
Product works well with my camera. Pictures are good and the price was good .

3 Stars This card
Ordered this card because Kingston is usually very reliable. I initially formatted the card and after about 10 photos, received an error saying card is bad, please replace. So I took it out, formatted it again in hopes that it would be fixed. But after taking about 10 more photos the same error occurred. I give it 3 stars only because I probably just got the bad egg from the group. That does happen some times.

5 Stars Kingston 4GB cf memory card
I own 4 of these 4 GB memory cards for 2 of my trail cams. I swap the ones I’ve taken home and saved the wanted images on my computer for the ones that have new data in the cameras. They all have performed well to store images and/or video. My oldest set is about a year old and I’ve recently purchased a newer set.

5 Stars What an EXCELLENT Product
www.viewfromthetopfloor.com

I’ve used Kingston cards in ALL my dSLR’s going back to 2002 including my older Fuji Finepix S1, S2 Pro and now my newer (Feb 2008) Nikon D300. Though I have much larger capacity cards now in the D300, The S2 pro only uses cards up to 2G so the Kingstons that I’ve used for years are STILL being used. I either use the Finepix S2 as a backup, or my young ‘un uses the camera when we go out shooting together. I have NEVER, ever had a card fail or even hiccup. Basically, the same experience I had with the Transcend Memory cards extends to these. Either I’ve been really lucky, and/or the cards are fabulous, and/or I take care to FORMAT the card in camera after each download. Maybe a combination of all three I don’t know. I do know I own four or five of the 2G Kingstons, and at least two 4Gig CF Kingstons. They are great just about fail proof.

And, in closing I would have to say that my 2 and 4G Kingstons have seen over 100,000 images through them over the course of several years. I trust them to do the job and never, ever have any qualms about popping them in the camera.

On a quick note I purchase my memory cards from various sources, not just Amazon. I shop for value, but I try to stick to the name brands of Kingston, Ridata, Transcend, and now own a couple of Lexar’s. Shop around for the best price, but many times Amazone offers the best with the free ship options when available.

3 Stars good
I mainly use a Sandisk Ultra II 4GB CF and it gives me no problems. I’ve had it longer than the Kingston.

The Kingston worked fine for a couple of months. Then it started giving me invalid parameters in Windows XP SP2.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who relies on their photos for their paycheck, but its a good bargain for casual shooting.

Perhaps my card was bad. Good luck.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars great value
The CF card works well, and the transfer speed is satisfactory. Great value for the price!

2 Stars Skips and buffers
I bought two to replace my 16GB PQIs which are 120x and rarely buffers. Both replacement 133x 32GB skips and buffers every so often and pauses when I need to review. The straight copy/write speed is good but its between operations that it’s slow. I use a Canon 7D to record mostly in 1080 24fps, its worrying when I see the buffer icon go all the way to max when I’m scrambling to catch an event happening now. For staged shots this is okay. For run-and-gun I’m keeping my PQIs.

4 Stars Great card for the price
This card is great for pictures and video, yes I know this it not the best card ever in compare with the UDMA cards, but is enough for my works.

5 Stars A Canon 5D, Rebel XT/350 RAW+JPG user
A GREAT BUY. USED SINCE JUNE 2009.

I’m going to buy another one again for my new Canon 7D camera which I got for this Christmas season. I have used this card in my Canon 5D and Canon Rebel XT without fail doing time lapse videos (thousands of pics brought into a movie) and travel photography. Not a single point of failure. This is an Amazon verified purchase. In other words, I BOUGHT THIS and I USE IT. Enough said.
