 BEWARE of Kingston REBATES! October 30, 2005
28 out of 45 found this review helpful
Beware of KINGSTON rebates!
Of course, I hope your experience would differ, if you were to buy Kingston product(s), but mine was terrible.
I bought a Kingston CompactFlash card that offered a $50 mail-in rebate. I promptly (as in, the day AFTER I received the item delivery) went to photocopy my rebate certificate and UPC code and sales receipt; then sent it all on its merry way. Yes, I was well within the rebate period, both for the purchase AND for the postmark date. My purchase was a valid retailer (think HUGE online e-tailer).
The rebate REQUIRED sending THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL UPC label, which was like the entire outside package for my CF card, about the size of 1 business cards when flattened. No problem.
About TWO MONTHS later, I get a letter saying "your rebate request was denied because you failed to furnish the appropriate ORIGINAL UPC code as required by the rebate offer."
Well, now WHAT? I can't RE-SEND the original (it was already in their possession). I called, and they insisted on repeating what the letter said. I re-sent my PHOTOCOPIES and they said a photocopy is invalid proof of purchase.
After another 6 weeks of pursuing this, I figured this is their scam. They simply wouldn't honor the rebate. And without the ORIGINAL UPC in my possession, I couldn't really submit to their requirements.
If you're looking for a RAM upgrade, I'd suggest you look at a quality company like OCZ (the BEST!), or Patriot, Geil, or Corsair. If you're looking for a value Flash Memory Card, I might suggest SanDisk.
For one, Kingston does NOT make the best products, they are VALUE-driven products.
Two, there are competitors to Kingston with just as good or better value-to-performance ratios at the same prices.
Three, Kingston will not stand behind their customer as I have experienced.
I urge you to, please, be cautious of Kingston and their rebate scams.
 poor quality July 25, 2005

25 Jul 2005 This card developed intermittent errors (corrupted image files) after 4 months and failed completely after 5 months of average use in a Nikon D70. I am back to using a 3-year old SanDisk card which has had a lot more use but zero problems.
09 Sep 2005 Edited - This card has a lifetime warranty so I was able to exchange the defective card for a new one from Kingston. So far the new one is working OK. At least this vendor is willing to replace their product when it is defective.
Went bad after 4 months May 10, 2005

What more can I say; the card received moderate use in a Canon 300D, and has developed areas where any pictures written there are corrupted.
 Excellent card for the price June 11, 2005

I bought this card for my Canon 20D digital slr and I've been very happy with it.
I got it on sale for $59 after rebates which was an awesome price in March, 2005.
While not the fastest card around, it's been rock solid. Never had a problem. The only time I notice the lack of speed is transferring it off my camera to my PC.
I use a firewire connection, and I can unload the entire card (1gb worth of photos) in 7 minutes. Yah, I could spend a lot more money to cut that time in half, but basically I go get a cup of tea while it's unloading. Most of the time, I'm unloading only a half full card so its a 3 minute wait.
I don't notice the difference in speed while the card is in my camera and I'm taking picture. I don't, however do a lot of 5 fps shooting, nor do I use RAW format much. When I'm shooting the best quality jpegs I never notice any write time to the card because it's all being buffered by my 20D.
I'm hoping Kingston gets a 2gb card happening, on sale, for under $100 and I buy one of those.
Kingston, most underrated buy in the compact flash world, as far as I'm concerned.

I have the Canon Rebel. I had the same problem where files were corrupted. Also, when clearing the card, some pics stayed filed. I am not happy with this flashcard at all.
