4 Stars Holding up well as the system disk for OSX
I used this 8G compactflash card with a Syba CF-to-IDE adapter to replace the failed system disk of an Apple iBook. This puts a much higher random IO workload on this card than it is ever likely to experience when used as a camera. The card has been running like a champ. The only quirk of the combination (possibly a problem with the cheap adapter) is that the system cannot resume from sleep.

One thing to bear in mind about speed: This CF card is optimized for the big sequential IO loads of a digital camera. The random write speed, even with IO sizes of 512k, is surprisingly bad. I suspect that the buffering in the card does not have any random IO intelligence and stalls whenever a non-sequential write arrives. Read access (random and sequential) is great. This is a fair tradeoff since the adapter+CF combination was a fraction of the price of an SSD.

5 Stars Good Value For The Size
I have been using this card for awhile and it is a good bargain for the price and size – you can shoot alot on one card even with larger megapixel cameras. On my 5D Mark II it is good for about 250 RAW+JPEG and I am able to get a good round of continuous shooting, depending on what I am shooting I can easily get 8-10 shots before having to wait for the card, which is fine for many things.

On the HD video side of things, it also is fine for shooting clips of 15-30 seconds with no problem (these are the lengths I usually shoot) with minor “catching up.” In other words there will be some clearing so if you are shooting from clip to clip in high action situations it may be a bit slow.

In other words for general shooting where you would like to have larger capacity, it is fine.

It is not a speed demon compared to some other cards and if you are shooting in situations where you really need higher speeds, it may fall short in that department. But overall having one of these in your bag is a good deal, especially when doing things like shotting landscapes, portraits and other things where shooting a series of shots and waiting a few seconds for things to clear are not going to make or break what you are trying to do.

2 Stars Not so affordable
When I decided to buy a Kingston 8GB I was not sure because of the cheap price.

There were actually other more expensive 4GB alternatives. Well, I guess I should have taken one of those

because this one sometimes loose pictures. I use to shot in raw format with Canon EOS 350D and with this

card I cannot be sure 100% of don’t finding any “surprise” once I get back home, like an unreadable file or a damaged file.

At the end I’m going to use it, but when I need affordability, I better use a Sandisk even if is a 1GB one.

1 Star Errors with every use and erased pictures
I just got this card recently and it has given me CF errors every time I have used it. It will let you take varying amounts of pictures before giving an error and erasing all the pictures on the card. A worthless piece of junk. I should have listened to the negative reviews. I’m sticking with SanDisk from here on out.

5 Stars Kingston compact flash memory
I bought this memory card for my Nikon D90 to increase picture storage for trips, vacations etc. I have no problems with it, considering negative reviews I read before buying it which concerned its performance under continuous storage and retrieval sequences. It is able to maintain the rated 4 shots per second for as long as I have wanted to take, with acceptable delay in presentation to the monitor. This is comparable to the SD card which came with the camera. I have not tried filling the card up to see if this performance is maintained for the full capacity of the card, as I normally transfer the pictures to my computer daily.

To summarize, I bought this card for the convenience of large storage, and it has lived up to my expectations.

5 Stars An excellent buy
It is so easy to use and takes high quality pictures, worth the money. I like the video audio clip functions , too.

5 Stars Excellent value
I’ve bought this camera recently and I love it. I have only two gripes, it uses AA batteries vs. charger and you have to use SD cards, as internal storage is pathetic.

The camera shoots excellent images and does what it is supposed to do excellently. Video is also good.

Overall I’m satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it for anyone looking for an inexpensive camera.

5 Stars good camera
This is a good basic camera. I bought this for my daughter and she likes the easy-to-use design.

4 Stars Good Camera
I’ve had this camera for about a month and so far I really like it. It’s nice, simple to use, and takes good pictures, which is the most important thing. I only wish the camera was a little thinner and had a bigger screen, but you can’t beat the price.

5 Stars Good Camera
No disappointments if you use Kodak software. we share all photos easily online. Nothing fancy and easy to use!

5 Stars Sony quality at an affordable price
I’ve read some negative reviews of this camera, but was convinced this was probably due to operator error as Sony rarely makes a bad product. I bought this camera a few weeks ago and it has been fantastic. The picture quality is wonderful and the camera is so well made. When you are holding it in your hand you can feel that Sony construction quality that puts everything American made to shame.

I think those people that are having “blurry” pictures just don’t know how to hold the camera steady or adjust for poor lighting. And I didn’t notice any excessively long delay when I hit the button until the time the camera took the photo. I had a nice Fuji Film (2004) camera that I was looking to upgrade, and I’ve been very happy with this Sony product.

2 Stars takes forever and a year to take a picture
I have owned a previous Sony and loved it, but this camera is terrible. It takes 2 to 3 seconds to take a picture. It is unnatural to use. Just like the other Sony and Cannon cameras, you put your finger on the button, and it focuses and is ready to go, right? Wrong. You depress the button further and it takes another 2 seconds to click. I can’t get good pictures of my kids since its too slow. I am going to give this one away and buy a better camera. I should have listened to the other raters on Amazon who rated this camera a pass. These reviews are never wrong in aggregate.

5 Stars Great Price & Quality
My girlfriend has been wanting this camera for a very long time. With Amazon’s great price reduction on the product made it possible. The camera came on time and it did not disappoint, the quality and the ease of use is fantastic for new camera users. I recommend this camera to anyone who is new to photography.

5 Stars BUY IT!!!!
I bought this camera when it first came out, I paid $400 or more for it right off the truck. It was worth every penny, and makes other digital cameras look like they came out of a bubble gum machine. Seriously, unless you want a lens camera, (you know the bulky type), get this one, or the most recent model of this.

And for those that question the image quality…I have been able to view the photos on a 52 inch plasma with 1080HP and they are crystal clear and sharp, even the video quality is better than my 2005 digital camcorder.

5 Stars AWESOME CAMERA!
The Camera is great for the price. It takes wonderful pictures and video’s. The other reviews are false that say the picture quality is bad. The picture quality is very good, I love this camera. Three things you look for in a camera: Great pictures, Portability, and Easy to use. This camera has all three!!

I can’t rate the camera yet (I’ll add to this later) because the box just arrived, so this review is just for Amazon. I had it sent Two Day Shipping, and it showed up at my door less than 24 hours later!!! Wow.

5 Stars Was not expecting so much!!
I was looking for a simple camera not too expensive just to have pics of birthday parties and trips. found a deal but this camera is way better thatn i thought for its price. starting with the size…it feels very confortable in the hand and is small.

picture quality is incredible for a point and shot digital camera, in 2 days using it i’ve taken pics that seem like taken with profesional cameras…it works incredibly well in the night with no flash and captures true colors with no flash as well (personaly i dont like using flash)

i works good in auto mode you feel like a pro taking pics. havent tried face detection or smile detection that much bec im not interested in those features so much.

usd cable is not the standar but i can use the sd cards to my laptop if have no cable

the start is not that fast but is compensated with the quickly shootting..

the anti shaking and vibration reduction works fine.

in conclusion my only complaint would be with the start time its about 4 seconds, all other features are just the best!! i would recomend this camera !

5 Stars Great camera and very fast shipping
I put two day shipping on the camera and it arrived in only one day! That alone made me happy. I have only had the camera for about a day and have only had a few hours to play around with it but so far I have no complaints. There are no problems with it and it was secure in the box it was shipped in. The one thing I haven’t done yet is use the Nikon software that came with the camera. I did install it but didn’t transfer the picture I took to my PC yet. It had no problems installing on Windows 7 64-bit though.

5 Stars Typical Nikon Quality
I replaced a Canon ELPH SD700 with this camera. The Nikon does not have the focus and lighting problems associated with Canon. I also like using the date imprint on prints and Nikon allows you to include this option at any resolution. Using maximum resolution at ASA 1600 is beyond most digital cameras.

5 Stars Travel perfect………..
I got my Nikon Coolpix two days before leaving for a two week trip to Thailand. My son-in-law actually advised me to get this camera for it’s simplicity and easy to use qualities. As usual,I am always late in getting organized. I ordered the camera from Amazon and thought there would be no way I’d get the camera before I left. It arrived in plenty of time. I had plenty of time on the plane to ‘study’ the instructions. Finally, in Bangkok and ready to shot pictures.

I had a blast on the trip and a ball using my new Nikon. It is so easy to use and takes great pictures. I have a wonderful pictoral history of my Thailand trip. I have clear, beautiful pictures of elephants and a cyrstal clear photos of ants marching one by one on top of a ledge. What fun. I’m not technical genius when it comes to new gadgets, but this Nikon turned me into a Ansel Adams, in my mind.

Come over I’ll show you the big elephants and the tiny ants.

3 Stars Good for outdoors… I’ts an OK camera not an amazing one
I bought the New A 1100 IS because for being stupid I just gave away my A740 which I loved… I needed to have something portable and easy to carry around. So I decided I wanted to try this little one and take it with me to Italy because I didn’t want to walk around with the big SLR.

So I have to say is not bad if the weather conditions help with ntural light. On cloudy days the image quality is not the best, but in sunny days the pictures come out beautifully. The camera can be really slow in low light conditions and even that it has an image stabilization if you move a bit the image comes out blurry. It has no super macro setting like the A 470, but the macro setting is not bad. This camera eats the batteries really fast, it works better with rechargeable batteries, Other wise be ready to change batteries every 30 minutes. The indoors setting works ok. The view finder is good to have but if you use lots of zoom the picture comes out diferently than what you see through the view finder, so be careful with that.. I would say this is an OK camera, not an amazing camera.

In general I was more happy with my A 470 I shoulded not give it away!!!

5 Stars What a great camera!
Gave this to my wife earlier this year. She is using it constantly and it takes great pictures.

Pro’s: Takes great pictures, even in low light. Super detail.

Con’s: It takes about a second for the focus to settle, If you just mash the button, you get and out of focus picture.

I’d still rate it as an excellent camera since most of the competition also has this usability flaw.

4 Stars Canon PowerShot A1100IS
Good Camera for the money. Pictures OK, a little on the flat side, could be a little more vivid, more contrast. Dose pretty good with kids (fewer blurred shots). Battery life seems a little short (Uses cheap AA Rechargeable though). Fits in your pocket!

5 Stars Excellent buy – You cannot go wrong with it.
I recently got this camera to gift it to my sister. While I got a chance to play with it I could not stop short of exclaiming Wow’s.

I regularly use my DSLR, but the ease-of-use provided by this camera has got me into thinking of buying one for myself.

Though Canon stopped providing Manual exposure controls Av, Tv, M, … on their lower-end point-and-shoots the pictures still come out pretty good.

There is a Program Exposure feature which can be played with to your liking.

The optical IS is a boon and I have come to appreciate its value since I have wasted quite a lot of photos on my DSLR as I cannot hold the camera still enough while the shutter has been opened.

Hopefully Canon starts making the A590IS series which now sell for more than $200. In the meantime Canon A1100IS is your answer to better photos.

4 Stars Canon camera
Great price. It did not arrive in time for the birthday but I should have changed the shipping rate!
