Kingston Compactflash CF 256 256 MB

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. features: 256 MB CompactFlash Write Speed: 20x (3MB Per Sec) Dimensions: 36.4mm x 42.8mm x 3.3mm Includes... Read review

Advantages: Fast and reliable
Disadvantages: None

...This is a very good value card - compact flash has been the most reliable over the years, I currently use a Canon 300d and use both the standand Sandisk cards and also the Ultra Sandisk card. I have found that this card is superfluous to what I need, the speed is more than capable for the camera (and 99% of all others) There is no need to purchase the more expensive 'Ultra' product unless you have a very fast camera, such as the Canon 1D.

Advantages: Not a lot
Disadvantages: Slow, Pricey

...Having reviewed the SanDisk Extreme III's the other day I thought I might as well review the cards I had previous to buying them, the Jessops 256MB cards. These cards although slow never let me down in three years of shooting, no loss of data or anything, even going though airport scanners which have in the past wiped things off cards. So on the reliability front I can't fault them, although it's a memory card, it shouldn't fail. As I mentioned these cards are very slow, although I only realised how slow when I bought some newer ones. My new Extreme III's seem to run 3-4 times quicker than the Jessops ones when formatting and reading/writing information. They are also very expensive. I don't know which company actually make them for Jessops but you certainly don't get your monies worth. The only thing I can think of is convinience... Read review
