Transcend TS4GCF120 Ultra Performance 120X Co 4096 MB

Advantages: Fast, Cheap
Disadvantages: Lack of backwards compatability

...I bought the Sandisk Ultra II 4GB card after purchasing my new 14.6mp camera, which produces RAW files of around 12-14mb! I clearly needed an upgrade because my older 2GB SD cards could only store 70 photos. I wanted a card that would combine speed, capacity, and value for money - and so I landed at the Class 4 Sandisk SDHC Ultra II 4GB card. I've had experience with Sandisk before, and wanted to stick with them especially after I found out that this card has a lifetime limited warranty, and has been tested to be compatible with a large range of high-end digital cameras. The Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB card (Which I will now refer to as "The card" to save any confusion), has read speeds of 10mb/sec, and write speeds of 9mb/sec, producing an excellent performance on my camera. Previously when I used my older 2GB card, I didnt have... Read review

Advantages: Very fast transfer rate, strong, looks good, smells pretty, cheap
Disadvantages: None

...I am very impressed! After recently upgrading from my Canon 350D to 450D I needed a high capacity, fast memory card as the 450 takes SD (secure digital) not CF (compact flash) as the 350 does. As a professional photographer it's vital that I have the best kit I can afford. I was a little worried about buying Transcend over Sandisk, but with such a huge financial saving I thought I'd give Transcend a go. I'm very glad I did! The Transcend 8Gb SDHC (secure digital high capacity) memory card performs excellently - trandfer speeds are very very good. It's rated at 'speed 6', the same as the most expensive Sandisk Ultra cards selling for over twice the price. One thing to mention - SDHC cards cannot be read by all memory card readers - generall only the newer ones will read SD cards over 2Gb. I would highly recommend this card... Read review

...I bought this (in Staples in the US) to work with my JVC GZ-MC200 camcorder - check my other reviews to see if I've got round to reviewing that too - and although there's not much to say about a memory card, I thought I'd have a go... Of course, there's no real "installation" to worry about, just take it out of the packet (opening the packaging was probably the hardest part !) and slot it in ! With the camcorder (it also takes stills) set on 1600 x 1200 pixel images and "Fine" qualitty, it tells me that I can take 572 pictures (966 on "Standard" setting") with an empty card, so I'm pretty confident that I'll never run out of space for photos ! This "Ultra" version has a claimed minimum of 10MB/second sequential read speed for ultra-fast image viewing and data transfer, and a minimum 9MB/second sequential write speed. Of course...
