Bought 2 of these and just tried them out today. Great write speed on my 5d2, especially with the large + raw. Highly recommend this and the price point is good as well.

bought a sony a200 for my wife. needed a compact flash card. with alittle research i found out there are a bunch to choose from. also found out that they come in different speeds (read and write). the PNY is used by nat. geo. photogs. and seems to be the fastest out there. easy choice when your camera can take 6 frames a sec.

This card is fantastic. FYI, PNY is made in Japan rather than in China, and the Japanese are famous for quality control. I have a wonderful friend who is an electrical engineer with several patents on his wall, and he tells me that he and his engineering buddies don't and won't buy any cards but PNY, because they're familiar with the fabrication testing and requirements of the company. You won't be sorry if you buy this card - it's big, fast, and performs flawlessly for both the video and hi-demand still functions of my Canon 5D mark II.

Got this in the mail about two weeks ago and had no problems with it at all. Put it in my Nikon D300 and was able to do a full speed burst (8fps) for a little over a second at the highest jpeg setting before the buffer between the camera and the card caught up with it. At the lower setting I was able to hold max speed continuously for several seconds. It is a little pricey but the writing speed is great if you're into sports photography, and the 8GB size has turned out to be a great size for my D300 (about 250 Raw + JPEG Fine or 1,000 JPEG Fine photos). I carry two now and I'd recommend them to anyone that is looking for a superior card for their superior DSLR.

Works as described. Using with new Sony a200, w/ very little knowledge of using a Compact Flash card. Price was good and shipping fast. Would purchase again...and in fact I did just that in getting 2nd one.
