CompactFlash 133

I needed a memory card for my Roland Fantom Rack midi sound module.This particular module is able to sample, but the internal storage is somewhat limited.Further to this, it was made in the age where 1GB storage was considered more than ample, so it won't accept any cards above 1GB.I did find it difficult to find cards at 1Gb. I could find lower space or crazy high (i tried a 5GB at one point but it wouldn't accept it), but luckily I came across these.So far, no errors or corruption and I've had this a while now.All in all very happy.

I bought this card for my Canon EOS 400D, and I was pleased to see when I turned the camera on that it cheerfully displayed "1587" to show me how many raw shots could be recorded before I'd have to change cards. Woohoo!Having bought a 2Gb SanDisk Extreme IV with the camera, I didn't want to spend a fortune on spare cards so I did some research on the web to find out exactly how fast a card needs to be before the write speed of the camera falls short of the card and you are paying for "unused extra speed". I have found it difficult to find accurate sources on the web but it seems that a 133x card should be more than adequate for storing data as fast as an EOS 400D can supply it. Which of course means a less congested buffer and more shots in a row in burst mode!I have done some simple tests with this Transcend card compared to my Extreme IV, and superficially at least there is no appreciable difference in performance. I have read that the larger memory address space of high capacity cards can slow down data writing slightly as compared to smaller cards, so I will not be going higher than 16Gb. I will be buying a few more of these babies before I go off around the planet!** Update follows (26 Mar 09) **Since writing this review I have upgraded to the delicious Canon EOS 40D (see my review on the kit version for the low-down).The performance of the Canon EOS 40D with the Transcend 133x 16Gb card is noticeably poor compared to both the 2Gb and 4Gb versions of the SanDisk Extreme IV range. Since I do a lot of high speed shooting, I therefore sold my Transcend card with my Canon EOS 400D.So, if you are a 400D/Rebel user, this card will do fine speed-wise and it is a LOT of storage at a low price. However if you are a Canon 40D user, and you want the full shooting speed, you will probably want a faster card. I have recent reviews on the 2Gb and 4Gb SanDisk Extreme IV cards which will help you decide how fast your cards need to be.

Top Quality Card at a Real-world price

Bought to play MP3s on an old car av system. does the job well and was a good price compared to others.

Works well

Needed a good value card for a converted Nikon that is set up for infra red photos. This was ideal, good value for quite old technology as these are more difficult to buy now.

I just got a Canon 1DX II and it records 4K video in a good image quality but horrendously inefficient motion jpg codec. i have a 128Gb CFast which was extremely expensive and is necessary for 2160/50p using this camera so ideally i wanted a higher capacity CF to capture a decent amount of lower 25p framerate 4K - so the Cfast can be reserved for 50p duties. Of all my existing CF cards though only 1000x Lexar Professional was fast enough to record 2160/25p - and at 32Gb only eight minutes worth. This 800x CF in the 256Gb looked to be extremely good value and having received it today appears to indeed be fast enough to maintain reliable 2160/25p video on the 1DX II. Obviously more complex scenes need more data but higher ISO also increases noise and encoding complexity: in early test at iso 12,800 the CF kept up fine so i am sure it will prove to be okay. The data requirement for a 3 min 6 sec clip was 11.4 Gb which is a write speed of 61.3Mb/s and should give me 64 mins of 25p recording (+ my 128Gb Cfast giving me 8 mins 50p).I don't expect it to be as fast as my lexar 1000x for recording bursts of raw stills but will be trying it in a Canon 5D3 at a wedding i'm shooting stills at tomorrow and should it perform less than reasonably fast that i expect from it I will update this review.

I purchased this 16GB card in the hope that it would work in a Nikon D70. It does not. It works fine elsewhere, but the Nikon D70 is an old camera and this, being a new card, is not compatible. It is either too fast or too large in capacity and the Nikon does not recognise it. That's a problem with the camera (being old) and not the card.If you are looking explicitly for a card that does work in a Nikon D70 (as of April 2024) then the following card does work (it's the one I bought after finding that the Transcend card is incompatible):Integral 4GB CompactFlash.

Excelente

This was actually a second choice (got the Verbatim brand first which didn't work, card could not be read), and I just plugged into the camera and it didn't even need to format the card, just immediately saw the number of images I can take! Brilliant! Now that's quality control! I will be ordering a couple more, as it's hard to find these (especially brand name ones!).

ok

je recommande fonctionne très bien sur mon nikon coolpix 885

Funktioniert einwandfrei
