Customer Rating:      Summary: Fast, large and so far, very reliable Comment: I have had this card and my new 10.2MP Nikon D80 for 3 weeks and both work very well together. The card holds 1,200 photos (I shoot RAW only) and since I use Auto-Bracketing, I really only get 400 unique shots per card. That is a few hours for me. Quick tip- as soon as you get a memory card (any card), format it on the camera (not the computer) and then ONLY use it with that camera. Switching cards between cameras will sometimes corrupt them.
I like the media card reader that comes with it since a lot of older computers with card readers will not recognized an SDHC card. With or without the card reader, this card is wicked fast too. My 2 GB SD card would take 45 minutes to offload the images on the built in card reader. This card and reader can offload 2 GB of images in 90 to 120 seconds on the same machine!
I liked this card so much, I bought two more last week.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Terrific Card! Comment: I bought the card and reader to use with a new Canon FS100 camcorder and it works perfectly. I have had no problems with the card, it is fast and it loads on both my Vista Laptop and IMac.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Watch out for infant mortality Comment: Watch out for early death on these cards. I put mine in a Canon XSi and did a low-level format - worked fine. Took some shots, put the card in the USB connector, sucked all the pics off, deleted them, then put the card back in the camera. Camera doesn't think there's a card in it. Tried a low level format: no dice. Plug back into USB connector and back into PC - PC won't recognize card exists, no way, no how. All in less than a week.
Bought a second card, ran the same sequence except I used the camera to delete all pictures, not the PC. Everything seems to be working fine after 3 days. Will update if any change.
Customer Rating:      Summary: GOOD BUY - Transcend 16GB SDHC + Compact Card Reader Comment: This product gives the versatility of a SDHC card that can be used in lots of devices like Digital Photo Cameras, some MP3 players, and others.
(Just be sure your device supports the newer SDHC format, many only support the older lower capacity SD).
Also, when used with the Compact Card reader, it can be used like if it were a USB memory stick, altough because of the way the SDHC card is inserted on the reader, it's not to be used in agressive environments or applications.
Read/Write speeeds are up to its Class 6, which are good enough for me.
16 GB is a LOT of storage space! Almost four DVD's full of files can be stored in this little piece of plastic/silicon.
Have used this product for a couple of weeks without problems, but it's still too early to judge its long term reliability.
Overall, I think that the price per GB, the speed and the convinience makes it a good value.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Watchout for ordering from Thememstore! Comment: The item is great! However the vendors and service...
First, Thememstore doesn't sell this product as displayed. Instead they sent the memory chip plus an additional USB adapter - one with 2 plastic covers instead of the compact kind shown here in the pictures.
Second, their shipping took 10 days to get out of OR, let alone get to me! Amazon claims they have an a-to-z guarantee, but their claim form doesn't give the option of claiming it was delivered late (or what the result of that would be).
Thirdly, the price for this product was volatile when I ordered - I purchased the product from Amazon for maybe 75 bucks, then a month later ordered it again and Amazon didn't have it but Thememstore did, and for more than 10 less, but with required shipping costs. Ah, technology.
Next time I'll definitely wait until Amazon has it back in stock!
