Advantages: Fast, big on storage
Disadvantages: Price but shop around

I bought one of these about 2 months ago to use with my new Canon 30D. I took it out on a shoot for the first time and after installing it, the camera flashed up "card error". I tried inserting it a couple of times with no luck. I put my old CF card back in which worked fine so I knew the camera was ok. I then tried this card one last time and it worked. It's been fine ever since but it did shake my confidence in it a little. It does write very ... Read review

I have an Archos AV420, and I needed some extra memory. It has an external Compact Flash (CF) slot, so I bought a 1GB CF card for £14.99 from a website that I found on google. This may be cheap, but I would not have bought this format if I could have bought anything else. I have found some problems with the card. Firstly, the card is extremely big. This meant that I had to buy an extra external card reader, because my normal one couldn't accommodate ...
...the card caboodle that I have was not big enough. So I now have to carry it around it another card holder which is a bit of a pain. It is roughly double the size of an MMC card, and nearly twice the thickness. Secondly, it is painfully slow when transferring any sort of data from you PC to the card. I have Lost on my PC, and I wanted to transfer episode 24 to my Archos so that I could watch it on the coach. The file is only 348MB because it is an ... Read review
