(5 out of 5) by bdgilfry@wildchildpublishing.com on Aug 2, 2009 (California)If your camera can shoot 3 or more frames per second, you need a high-speed card. I am happy with this one, although I just noticed that PNY makes another card that is even faster: 266x--that's up to 40 MB/s.
This card is 133x, meaning up to 20 MB/s and so far it works well. I can shoot 10 MB RAW files continuously for quite some time and this card keeps up.
I'll probably edit this review in a few days when I receive my card reader. Uploading from camera to laptop via USB moves about 10 MB/s.
I suspect this card will work even faster through a card reader. However, even via USB, if you shoot all day and come home with 300 RAW files, you'll upload for only five minutes. That's not too bad for a card in this price range.

Good Card For the Price
(4 out of 5) by D. Benton on Aug 5, 2008 (TX)I use this with my Olympus E300 and it works really well. It writes really well while shooting but is slow when downloading to my comp. (400 pics about 15 mins) but that is using just a usb cord. I would buy it again! Leave a comment if you would like to know more :)
Fast, inexpensive, but needed to be formatted
(4 out of 5) by A. Bottiglia on Jun 4, 2008 (Portland, OR)When I first bought this product and put it in my camera, a Canon 30D, the camera would not read it. Distraught, I decided to try the card in the memory card reader for my PC to see if the computer would read the card or not. It could. I thought it might be incompatible with camera, but on a whim I decided to format the card using my PC. Once I had formatted the card it worked perfectly with my camera and since then we have taken tons of pictures without a hitch. Great card, great price.

Super Fast & Reliable!
(5 out of 5) by A. Brown on May 12, 2008 (California)I use this in my Digital SLR and absolutely love it! It is definitely fast and I have had nothing but excellent performance from all PNY products. If you are serious about photography and understand the importance of high-speed memory cards than you know that this is an absolutely awesome memory card!
good product at a great price!
(5 out of 5) by A. Armfield on Apr 22, 2008 (cola, sc)i bought this on a goldbox deal for really cheap and didn't have the greatest expectations but when it arrived i was very surprised at how nice it was. It somehow seems better made than some of the other cf cards i have and more importantly, the read/write speed is really great. It handles raw files from my d2x with ease. I highly recommend this card!
