Flash Reviews

With 512 Mega, it can store anything that you want to keep.
But be careful when you plan to upgrade your Compact Flash Card.
Some items can not read this CF Card. My camera (Canon S-20) can only take up to 256MB.
Check your manual before getting one of this.
And also, this Card cost slightly more than the 256Mb.
256MB Sandisk's CF Card cost $0.625 per Mega
but
512MB Sandisk's CD Card cost $0.664 per Mega.

I suggest you to take two 256MB, which cost less (you save about $20 when you get two 256 instead of 512)
(These price based on amazon.com's price on Oct 3rd 01)

I purchased the SanDisk 512 MB CompactFlash Card from Amazon about a year ago. 4500 pictures later, I cannot complain about the card. A few weeks ago, I allowed my sister to borrow the card and my camera for her trip to New York City. While there she only took 112 pictures; nowhere near the cards capacity of 490 pictures at 4.3 megapixel. Unfortunately when she arrived home, my mother offered to do all of her laundry; my memory card was in her pant pocket. Mom was quite upset as she removed the laundry and found my memory card at the bottom of the washer. They explained what happened as I came in that weekend. The card was dead, or so I thought. I bought a new card at Circuit City. Loaned the new replacement card to my mother this time for a trip to Washing DC. While contemplating how to disassemble my compact flash card, I figured I would try it again. Low and behold I was able to download my sisters pictures. Two weeks later and still working just like new. If anyone else want to test their compactflash card through a washing machine, go ahead and I'll wait for the results. In the mean time, SanDisk has my attention!

This small little disk is wonderful! It can hold more than 200 pictures on normal settings, allowing you to pretty much take as many pictures as you want. I used it on my week long vacation and still had room left when I can home. the pictures were wonderful, and when using an adaptor it is easy to upload them to your computer, and edit them.

I think this card is a great value and it has worked flawlessly for me since purchased.

With a 48 MB card I can take the equivalent of two rolls of standard film photos on my Epson PhotoPC 850Z digicam. Over the life of the card (which is supposed to be good for something like 10 million photos!) I think this card will pay for itself in very short order.

As I post most of my digital photos on Internet albums or print them out on my inkjet (also an Epson) I rarely go to my local photo developer anymore.

I will probably add a larger SanDisk card at some point after I upgrade to my next digicam.

I have a 32 MB Sandisk Compact Flash card for my Nikon Coolpix 950, a 2-megapixel digital cam. This card will allow you to record about 50 pictures at the standard (640x480) resolution, so if you find you're not a 'power user' of your camera, it should be plenty - and the dollars-to-megabyte ratio is right!

However, if you regularly shoot at higher resolutions such as 1600x1200 (i.e. 8" x 10" photo quality), you won't be able to fit 20 photos on this card. In that event, you might want to think about going for their 96MB card (also available from Amazon!)

With this size card you might also want to think about going for Sandisk's inexpensive USB card reader - it's up to 50x as fast and a lot less hassle than hooking the camera up to the computer!

At 1024 x 768 resolution, this memory card holds 200-390 images on my Polaroid PDC-700 camera (that's like 8-16 rolls of film). The price and capacity are just right for weekend trips or special events. **Go crazy** and take pictures of anything and everything that catches your eye!

I took 89 pictures in 5 hours at my company's "Relay for Life" event on Friday, and really enjoyed not having to "budget" my photos or worry about running out of film. The image quality was excellent, and downloading was quick & easy with a digital film reader.

I'm planning a 2-week trip to Spain this fall, and am considering an additional 32MB SanDisk memory card just in case I get **Too Crazy**. Does anyone know if they make a storage case for spare memory cards?

Unless you carry a notebook computer to constantly dump your digital camera images to, you will likely have noticed that the memory card that came with your digital camera fills up rather quickly, especially at higher resolutions. Why camera companies are unwilling to shell out the extra few dollars for larger capacity cards to include with their products is a mystery of marketing, but the fact that the dinky 4, 8 and 16 MB cards fill up with photos of family and adventures rather quickly. That's why this little card is such a gem.

32MB is a good compromise in the size/cost ratio, although the 48MB and 64MB cards are also a good deal. The Sandisk brand is a relative unknown to the consumer -- at least under that name. Sandisk supposedly makes memory cards and sells them directly to the camera manufacturers, so chances are the card that came with your camera is made by them. As far as reliability goes, the memory works just as well and holds just as much as better known name brands which cost tens of dollars more.

All in all, the Sandisk memory is a good product at a good price, and it will make your digital picture taking so much more enjoyable as you forget about having to pace yourself concerning the amount of photos you take!

The card isn't compatible with my Sandisk card reader, but other than that I'm impressed with it.

I bought a base model Lexar 256MB CF for my Canon Digital Rebel (D-SLR 6.3MP) and I was disappointed in shot-to-shot time and I don't even want to comment on how slow the picture transfer to PC was.

Today I was fed up and traded in for the Sandisk Ultra 256MB and while the shot-to-shot time is up slightly I can't believe how fast the 3MB JPEGs stream to my PC. I'd have to say its at least 3X faster on photo transfers.

I think the latest crop of digital cameras can really benefit from faster storage media and if you've invested a good bit in your digital outfit then you should definitely consider premium memory.

I would have given 5 stars if the price was a little bit lower.

.... The Ultra writes images to the camera faster than the regular version. That's how it is correctly marketed. It does not allow your camera to take images faster or shoot moving images faster - those skills are up to you and your camera. For pros, this card does make a difference because it cuts down on the writing time. For point and shoot photographers, I'd recommend buying the slower, less-expensive version.

I have my cannon S100 for six months now. The camera is so small that I take it anywhere I go and take pictures of everything. And I mean EVERYTHING.

When you go here and there taking pictures there are two things that can stop you happy travel: Battery life and storage space.

This card cross over any storage limits you could have.

Let me tell you a few words about
this little fellow:
1. Sandisk is known for its great compatibility so it isn't ikely that you will have compatibility problems
2. Used with my cannon S100 Digital Elph it can hold:
- 1550 pics in low resolution Hard to beat for Web publishing or e-mailing
- 420 pics in medium resolution. This resolution is really good for prints up to 5 x 7
- 170 pics in high resolution. Pretty good for one single card. Outstanding prints up to 8 x 10
3. No problems with speed. Sandisk cards are as fast as any other.

In my experience 170 pictures at resolution for prints of 8x10 is enough for a complete weekend of pictures, but if you feel you are running out of space you just change to medium resolution for prints up to 5x7.

With this card you can forget the frustrating experience of running out of space in the sunset of Sunday the weekend you decided to expend in the beach.

You won't find this card at this very good price anywhere else, so go for it

I recently bought the SanDisk 256 MB CompactFlash Card for use with my digital camera and I really impressed with this CF card. I just bought the Canon Powershot G2 Digital Camera and it came with a 32 MB CompactFlash card that barely held 10 pictures at the highest resolution. I needed more capacity, but I wanted to buy a card that was compatible with my camera as well as my MP3 player. It was interesting to note that the 32 MB CF card that was included by Canon was made by SanDisk. That convinced me and I ended up buying the 256 MB CF card and it has worked just amazingly well in my camera.

I love this CompactFlash card as it is so small, and versatile. If you plan on buying the 256 MB CF card, I would also recommend buying the Sandisk Imagemate USB CompactFlash Card Reader (SDDR-31). A must have option that will allow you to use your CF card as a removable drive on your computer instead of using your camera to download pictures.

I purchased this sandisk 256 mb compact flash card as I don't want to keep changing cards from 16mb or 32 mb. If you are using a high end digital camera, I would hightly recommend that you purchase this card. Remember, to get great quality prints you need to shoot on a "fine" setting and this quickly uses up memory. That will also allow you room to crop out. You want to make sure that when you are using your camera on a special occasion, you don't have to stop what you are doing and have to change cards.
