Memory-Card Reviews

This 48Mb card filled to capacity with ~150 pics takes less time to download to my PC than the 8Mb Kodak card that comes with the Kodak DC240. Beware that the Jumpshot cable works only with USB enabled Compactflash cards. It is the easiest way to download pics from your Lexar Media cards, but not a replacement for a compacflash card reader.

This card holds A LOT of images. Not only that, but if you register it online, you get a free adapter for hooking it up to your computer without using the camera as a middleman. Lexar's shipping on the cable is pretty fast. There may be cheaper 256MB cards available, but stick with this one. It's incredibly fast.

Better option to buy Lexar Media 256 MB USB 12X High-Speed CompactFlash Card (CF256-12-251). This new card is 12X v/s 4X and also cheaper !! Why buy a slower card and also pay more ?

This was a great CF card at the time. I had found a rebate for it, so the final price ended up being only $... So at the time, it was very cheap and very high capacity CF card. I use it mainly in my PDA, a Toshiba e740. It works like a charm, from the moment I put it in until now it has always worked perfectly. I only had one mishap with it since I bought it. When taking it out, I managed to drop it into a glass of Coke. After drying it out, it did not work at all. I then called Lexar, and they were gracious enough to replace the card no question asked. Wow, great service! I on a regular basis stream mp3's and movies off of this card and have never noticed a speed problem. The only main complaint I have about it is, when ever I try to copy large content on to the card, it takes a while. But just go watch some TV, by the next commercial; an 180meg file would have already been copied.

All in all, I have been very satisfied with it, and would recommend it. But try to wait for a rebate if you can, because they show up all the time.

I had bought the 64 mg Lexar compact flash at Best Buy along with my Kodak DC3400 camera. The price was way more than for this. (but then CF are cheaper now) With the 64 MG, there has always been problems with errors when downloading pictures. My thought of buying Lexar again wasn't high on the list but the price and rebate looked too good to pass up. After using it for a week with hundreds of pics taken, I am concluding that it is wonderful! My camera gets 415 pictures to the best pic mode. It is so wonderful to just use one card during an outing.
