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.

I bought this card to use in my Canon EOS 50D and it has worked perfectly so far with no problems at all.It is fast enough to take a burst of shots on the jpeg + Raw setting @ 6.3 frames per second with no loss of speed that I could detect, even on longer bursts.Read speed is also fast as it only takes a short time to download a large number of jpeg + raw files direct from the camera onto the PC via the camera`s own usb cable, with no read/write errors so far. (It may be faster still with a card reader)I have been using the 16gb version of this card on my other camera body (EOS 40d) and I was so impressed with the cards performance that I bought this 32gb for the higher resolution EOS 50D.and this card does not disappoint either.With the camera set on jpeg and raw image recording, both on the highest resolution possible, (15mp) you can still get over a thousand images on this card, thats about 4,000+ high quality 15mp jpegs on one card, and on a 10mp camera about 50% more than that. (although this does vary depending on the type of pictures you are taking, as some pictures contain more information than others and have a larger file size.)Please remember that not all camera`s, (especially older models) are compatible with high capacity CF cards, check your camera for compatibility before buying this card to avoid any disappointment.All in all this is an excellent card that does everything the manufacturers claim, and it does it well.At this price it is highly recommended.

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.

Bought one purely out of interest, didnt really beleave that these card could compete with Lexar 1000x cards, well boy was I wrong.On the 5DIII with this card the burst length is between 25 28 shots before you hit the buffer, so a little slower than the lexar but the main reason for using these cards ( at least my reason) is to vastly decrease the time the camera takes to clear the buffer, with these cards the buffer clears in about 4 seconds.The upshot is, real world you can shoot away all day without any buffer stuttering ( assuming your camera supports udma7! if you dont know check first).I cant reasonably talk as to the longevity of these cards, but in my case as they are guaranteed for life,and I mostly use the 1dx with mirrored cards for paid work I cant realistically see a problem even if a card should die on me.If your considering the Lexar or other brands, then you could realistically save yourself a small fortune using these card, I'm now a total convert, other brands wont be seeing anymore of my money.Hope this helps

Bought this to use as a replacement hard disk in a sixth gen iPod Classic (120GB). It had been dropped one too may times, and the existing drive was clicking and freezing badly, but replacement mechanical drives are still pretty expensive. I had bought a cheap ZIF to CF adaptor from Ebay, along with the necessary tools to split the iPod apart (about £5 all in). Got this CF card as it offered a good size for the price, and the lower speed of this card was not an issue for music playback as the bitrate is only 320kbps.The card has been great - worked straight away after a reformat with iTunes, showing 30GB of space. Upload of music was fast, and performance in use has been excellent,with near-instant restart from pause, quick track selection etc. The iPod is also marginally lighter, and the battery life is good.Recommended if you want to convert your classic to SSD storage.

I bought this CF card a few months ago and it has been working fine in my Canon EOS400D.However, today I formatted the card in my camera only to find it had reduced capacity to 8GB. I then put the card in my card reader and formatted the card back to 16GB. My camera DID NOT like this! When I switched the camera on with the card reformatted it said there was a problem with the CF card and to replace it.So I tried reformatting it a few times in both Windows (XP) and Ubuntu Linux, same problem every time. I couldn't even reformat it in the camera back to 8GB.I did find a solution eventually which was "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" - a free download online.I formatted with this at 16GB and all is well again.Just thought i'd write this incase anyone else has the same problem.

Bought this card to use with my EOS 7d. Some of the reviews I have read suggest the 7d might not be able to take advantage of a UDMA7 card, however I disagree...Definately faster than any UDMA6 cards I have used.Test burst of around 120 frames RAW + JPEG took around 4 seconds to clear the buffer, however with a low burst of no more than 8 frames (or shooting in JPEG only) the clearing was almost instantaneous. 40 - 50 frames takes around 1.5 - 2 seconds to clear.If shooting JPEG's only (with no compression), it is unlikely you will need more than 1 of this card - at 6.6Mb per image as it will hold around 2300+ images. RAW + JPEG = around 480 images.I won't need another any time soon,but it will be going on my christmas wish list - would definately recommend.

I purchased this memory card for the shear size. I was a bit concerned as I thought a card at this size at this price is likely to be very slow but in fact there is no issue at all. I'm using it on a Canon 5D and it allows me to take what seems like a limitless amount of pictures! (around 1,350 RAW)For best transfer rates to a PC use a USB2 Card reader, it seems about x3 quicker than reading from the camera.As with most memory cards a certain percentage of space is reserved for header information, therefore, it has a usable capacity of around 15GB. It is of course always good practice to spread your photos out across several memory cards in case of a corruption but at least gives you piece ofmind that you've got massive capacity if you need it.

I bought this card as a backup for my 16gb UDMA 600x compact flash card.Have now decided to keep 16gb as back up for this. I have a Canon 7D which fills up the card quickly on burst catching wildlife, and didn't hold up the shoot at all because of speed of 16gb. This card, wow, knocks the spots off previous 16gb one. Also have a card reader that fits into my eSata slot on the side of laptop and BINGO less than ONE minute to download Raw+JpegL 230 shots, like fliking through a pack of cards, well not quite but it was blooming fast.So no probs with card and reccomend to all, I would also recommend the eSata reader bought from Amazon, magic,take about 300-400 photos a day take the laptop out and before the next bird has appeared its done.

I use it with a Sony A200 DSLR. Works great. I used to get about 2000 JPGs from it but I now shoot in RAW only and get 500 when it's empty. Speed is fine for what I do - I don't use the continuous feature much as my camera can't do much more than 3fps anyway. Transferring the RAW files from the camera is not too bad but I have no comparison. I'm going to get a card reader to speed that up and to make life a bit easier all round. If I had a full frame camera and better burst rate for continuous I'd go for a SAN Disk but you pay extra. I have a big holiday coming up so I'm going to buy another. I did consider the 32GB version but as it only saves about £2 I'll get 2 x 8GB.Don't put all your eggs in 1 basket as mother would say !

Purchased this for my professional Canon Camcorder which I use to shoot weddings for my business, it shoots at 50Mbps and therefore uses up memory fast, and needs something to write fast as a result. After looking around and being given the choices of either really cheap (with bad reviews) never-heard-before brands or the overprices SanDisk range which want hundreds more, or Transcend who have a great reputation, after seeing the price of this card there was no more hesitating.I use a USB 3.0 card reader connected to USB 3.0 ports, therefore utilising the potential of this card, and my data transfers onto my PC at around 100-130mbps. That's under 10 seconds per Gb!And more than enough speed to take my 50mbps bitrate.

Got 4 of these 8GB cards (as well as SanDisk ones)... in comparison these sit just under the SanDisk Extreme III in terms of speed.Download using SanDisk Card Reader @ 20mb/sec average. This seems to vary depending on the type and number of files on the card, and card reader. (Budget card reader will give you a slower speed, as expected really)Upload to CF from Card Reader @ 10mb/sec (slow but I hardly ever do this anyway)In the camera (Canon 5D), its more than fast enough even when shooting RAW.If you have 1D series / high fps you may want the faster ones though...Reliability is 100% on each card so far... (3 months heavy usage,though this may change over a year or two!).For this price you cant get better.

I bought some of these recently to go with my new canon 7D camera. the supplier I bought the camera from had supplied one free with it and said they were good quality otherwise I might have gone for one of the more expensive makes.When I received them I tried each one in the camera and formatted them, the camera manufacturer recommends to do this even if they are pre formatted. The all worked ok. I have not had them very long so I cannot say how durable they are but I cannot see why they wouldn't last a long time. If you do a lot of video or bursts with your camera you might consider buying a faster card but for short bursts of 5 or 6 shots I found these coped ok.a faster card will of course cost a lot more.

The first card I ordered didn't arrive and after waiting an extra week Amazon sent me a replacement FOC. This is the first time anything I have ordered has gone astray but given the sheer volume of stock sold I guess it has to happen now and then. Amazon were really good about fixing the problem.As for the CF card itself it isn't a Sandisk Pro, but then again I don't need a Sandisk Pro so for what I want it is fine. Shooting RAW on my D70 it is slightly slower than a higher quality card but if I am in RAW mode then speed is not a huge issue. I photopgraphed a demo last weekend and shot over 1000 jpegs and it coped brilliantly with no buffer lag even on continuous.Worth having a couple in yourbag.

At about a £1 a GB, this is great value for money. I bought this on the value of other reviewers, so thank you to those who reveiwed the product. I used this for recording sports over the weekend in my Canon 7D, and it was absolutely fine, no lagging or any issues, but I was recording at low res (640x480) to get the longer length video clips (beyond the 8mins or whatever you get on Full HD which hits the 4GB file size limit), but am sure even at full frame HD it would be fine.Havn't tried the 8fps shots in RAW plus Jpeg as this would probably break it, but you can't mark it down when you buy it knowing its a 133 speed card. It does exactly what its says it does,and it does it at a good price!
