Glad I took a chance.
(5 out of 5) by Gordon S. Marlowe on Oct 14, 2006 (Chicago, IL USA)I have to say that I'm usually pretty cautious about buying off brand, generic, no-name stuff. However, I had an old 1 Gig CF card that was slow as molassis in my Canon G6. With the old card I could take three or four pictures at the slow continuous repeating frame rate, about 1 every 0.8 seconds I think, before the card slowed it down to about 1 every 2.5 or so seconds.
This card lets me take about a dozen or more before that happens, which is great.
So, it's definitely faster. I don't know what 60x speed is versus my old card, but I'd guess it's at least 10 times faster.
I've shot about 200 pictures with it, and only filled it up about 30% at a time. I've written about 2 gigs to it total, just not at once. I've had zero problems with it so far.
So, for a little over half as much as the high speed 2 gig name brand cards, I'd recommend trying one.
Remember, all manufacturers have a failure rate, and we don't know what these guy's failure rate is yet.

Such Speed Obtained
(5 out of 5) by Kathleen Thomas on Jan 15, 2007 (OC CA)I have used this card in my Olympus 8080 camera and I am very happy with the results. I use the 8mp setting on the camera and this card holds a bit over 900 pictures. The speed it what really impressed me. The card that it replaced was only a 4x so I have noticed an incredible change in time between pictures.
