Flash Reviews

I am very pleased with this purchase. The reading and writing speed is very fast compared to the default compact flash that came with my camera. I did some amount of research on compact flashes, and found that kingston 256mb was one of the best in the market.
It is compatible with my Canon S400.

This card works well and the price is right! Kingston's standard cards are 12x (about 1.8 MB/sec), which is about as fast as any 3.2 MP camera needs.

No corrupt files in any of these cards yet!

If you have a higher megapixel camera (4 MP and up), I would recommend the Sandisk Ultra compactflash card, which has a maximum write speed of about 60x (although reaching this speed probably won't happen for all cameras because cameras themselves have a maximum write speed).

To figure out about how much memory a card will hold with a specific camera, take the following formula, which is a rough approximation:
# of Pictures = 3*(megabites on card)/(megapixels)
So, a 3 megapixel camera can store approximately 250 pictures on a 256 MB card.

Ordered from Amazon in December - 2 months later they were out of stock. A month after that, the web site said 'available soon'. It's now mid-May, and they still can't tell when it will ship. So be prepared for a LONG wait!!!

If you own a DV500, DV800, or DV2000, or a JVC camcorder with the info-shoe mount, you need this flash. The camcorder takes excellent shots with the flash. I don't know how you could live without one.

When you switch to Memory Mode, notice how dark the image gets in the viewfinder. With the flash on, the pictures will be bright and colorful. If not, then the pictures will be dark, just like what you see in the viewfinder.

Worth the money.

Turn your JVC camcorder/digital camera into the first rate digital camera it is!

I own the JVC GR-DV2000U Camcorder (best I've ever owned). It is a dual camcorder/digital camera. I was disappointed with the Digital Camera functions until I got this flash, now it's the best digital camera I own!
