 Very Good Value October 6, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have some Extreme IV cards that I like but wanted to have extra CF cards for the times I did not have the ability to download my shots or if the worse case scenario happened and a card went bad.
I purchased a couple of these cards since the price was right and they were available in a good size (4 Gigs)
These cards have been reliable and performed well if not quite to the same level as the SanDisk in terms of burst shooting from what I could tell. For most shooting this is probably not going to be an issue. For parties, family get togethers and similar things these are fine.
It is more situations where you want to get every possible shot in high speed shooting modes with RAW that it could be an issue.
If you do not really see yourself worrying about the high speed modes often (and even then a slight performance increase) then these are a good buy.
 Not working with Nikon Coolpix 5000 February 8, 2008
4 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have an old Nikon Coolpix 5000 that has been idle for some time - it has been using a 1GB IBM Microdrive (which is a Type-II CF). I recently bought the Kingston 4GB Elite Pro 133x CF card and wanted to give it a try on this old camera. The first step on Coolpix 5000 prompted me to format the card, which seemed successful. But then it shows "out of memory" and doesn't take photos even if I press the shutter button.
From an external card reader, it seems the card is formatted correctly with folder name "100Nikon".
I'm guessing it's more likely a problem on Coolpix 5000 that it doesn't work with this card. However, I read from somewhere else that Coolpix 5000 does work with maximum of 4GB memory, so why does this happen?
Any idea?
 Good, inexpensive, but might be slow February 29, 2008

Product was relatively inexpensive, which was nice. I used it as a storage card for digital music for a car stereo. When copying data to the card, it went pretty slow. So I downloaded a flash memory benchmark program and ran it. It did not come too close to the 133x the card was advertised. I used a SanDisk PCMCIA to CF adapter. As a comparison, I used a SanDisk CF to USB2 adapter and received about a 2x transfer speed increase, but that speed was still slow and nowhere near 133x. I do not know how fast a typical USB2 jumpdrive is supposed to run, but I also benchmarked one of those I had and it went about 10x faster than this card. Hopefully there will be other reviews about this to either confirm or refute the lack of speed for this card.
Awesome card! March 5, 2008

What more can I say? Memory from one of the first and leading 3rd party memory manufacturers of the world. It's back by their true lifetime warranty - unlike some other companies who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk. But seeing that I've never received nor experienced a failed memory from them I shouldn't really vouch for that claim. Anyway, with the special rebates they were offering it really was a no brainer for my purchase.
Kingston CF Card October 6, 2008

I have used this card in my Canon SLR 40D and it works fast. You can pay a lot more for a CF card but this Kingston card works great at a lesser price.
