Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It was OK for awhile
I bought this card nearly a year ago, and it worked fine for awhile. This summer I was on vacation in Okinawa, Japan, and I got an error while trying to view a picture I had just taken. Then about 2 months later I was using it to take photos at an event, an anniversay celebration, and after taking 6 pictures that day it began giving me errors. I stopped using it and tried to recover the pictures later at home, I was only able to get 2 out of 6 pictures off the card. So I went and bought a much ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Speedy Card
I was quite pleased to find such a speedy card at such a reasonable price. Instantaneous writing. Highly recommended.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a bargain!
I can't believe 4 GB for this cheap! I bought 6 cards for a vacation to Arizona with some trepidation - hey if the cards failed in the field when am I getting back to the Grand Canyon again? They worked great! I take pictures on a tripod so I work slow - can't testify to speed but I never had to wait to take the next shot. Have had them for a short period of time but no problems so far.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great bang for the buck!
I bought this to replace my Sandisk II 1GB card which costed ~$100 at the time. This 4GB card costed me <$16 (incl. shipping) and allows me to shoot RAW freely. Speed wise it is very decent.

Usage wise, I have not experienced any problem since I bought the card a month ago. I was a little skeptical about Transcend brand (vs. SanDisk, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cheap, high capacity
This is a good card considering the price. After about 1000 shots over a few weeks, I did encounter an error on my 40D while shooting that required me to reformat the card and lose about 20 shots. Thankfully I was able to redo the shots, but this incident doesn't give me much confidence in this card.

As others have said it does not seem that this card is actually 133x speed.
