I followed the instructions, upgraded my firmware to the latest revision 1.04A and now my camera recognizes the 128MB SanDisk SD Card and it is working great.


Designed for Palm Handhelds..... NOT   July 24, 2002

After visiting SanDisk's web site and checking their compatibility list I decided to buy the 128MB SD card for my Palm M505. According to SanDisk's site the card is compatible with the M505; the packaging even has the "Palm" logo on it with the words, "Designed for Palm Handhelds". Fact is that the 128Mb SD from SanDisk does NOT work in Palm devices. I sent support e-mail to both SanDisk and Palm. Palm pointed their finger at SanDisk and SanDisk never responded. I did some research on my own and found that the controller used in the 128MB SD card is not the same as other flavors of SanDisk SD cards, and is in fact NOT compatible with Palm Handhelds. Shame on SanDisk for not doing their homework and shame on Palm for letting SanDisk use their trademark without verifying that the product actually is "Designed for Palm Handhelds".


Works with the Casio EX-M1 -- with a catch   August 10, 2002

I bought the SanDisk 128MB SD card for use with my new Casio EX-M1 digital camera. Popped it in and immediately ran into problems -- the camera wouldn't recognize that the card was empty after formatting.

A quick call to Casio customer support solved the problem. The camera ships with the 1.00 firmware. In order to work with SanDisk's 128MB card, the 1.01 firmware is needed. After downloading the updated firmware, the card worked immediately.

I'm now quite pleased with the card's performance. It works as advertised and the expansion from the camera's built-in 12 MB to 128 MB is quite dramatic. I can now store about 160 fine resolution pictures at full-size. What more can you ask of a memory card?


Excellent Memory Card   August 21, 2002

I am using this SD memory card for a Minolta Dimage X. I can't speak to the compatibility problems others have noted, but I have to tell you that this has been an excellent memory card for me. I just slipped it into my camera and it has worked flawlessly from day one. It also seems faster than other media. There is only a slight pause as the camera writes the photo to memory.

I also found this an excellent value for the price. There are 256M cards, but they are very expensive. 128M is plenty for most digital camera uses and you can get more than 2 128M cards for the prices I've seen for one 256M card.

This card is also a great demonstration of how far technology is coming. 128M of memory on a card the size of a postage stamp! I remember when it would take banks of chips to do something like that. Now I feel old, but I am very happy with this tiny little card.

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your purchase!


How many pictures will it store?   November 5, 2004

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDSDB-128-A10 Secure Digital 128MB, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
