I took about 10 shots with my canon digital rebel, uploaded to my laptop and it was fine. Put it back into the camera and it wouldn't read it. Nor did my card reader. Sent it back for a amazon replacement, but they refunded me instead. Maybe its because it's...more expensive now...

I own a Canon 10D with a Sandisk ultra 512 and a lexar 512 12x.

The lexar is just slow basicly i would say go for the fast ultra 2.
But the lexar works fine only it takes time.

The 12x is the slowest you can use AND be satisfied in 6MP mode. You can get four frames out @3fps before you have to wait for the buffer to write to memory in the RAW+JPEG mode. Otherwise you can shoot @ just under 1fps until the memory is full. In JPEG Fine and JPEG Normal you get 11 and 16 shots off, respectively, before this ram slows you down to just above 1fps. In JPEG Basic mode I quit at 49 shots out @3fps but never filled the buffer. Therefore, if you typically are shooting less than 1 frame per second in 6MP mode this ram will never let you down and it will handle the occasional sporting event.

I paid more $$ to get a Japanese card with a guaranteed speed rating, good brand name, etc. This is an excellent price for a 256MB card, but buyer beware: even though the company is Japanese, the packaging clearly says "Made in Taiwan" on the reverse. Even worse, once you crack open the seal, the card itself is not made in Japan or Taiwan, but in mainland China. According to multiple sources, SD cards made in China have the worst quality control and are unpredictable often resulting in loss of data or formatting. Better to skip this card unless Amazon or their subcontractors guarantee a card made in Japan or at least Taiwan.

I have hade the cards for a couple of months, and never had any problem with it. Works like a charm! Have been able to use my camera in a whole new way thanks to this memory card!
