Customer Reviews

Awesome speed!
I got this 80X SD Card for my Canon SD450, and it's working great. I researched a lot about high speed SD cards and found this the best value for money. Also, I compromised with a 1 GB card because I think it's quite enough.

I have used several cameras (using SD, XD cards or sony's memory stick), and each time I have been transferring the pics there is a very long pause. NOT anymore! On a USB 2.0, transferring the first 150 pictures (each 2+ MB) from my camera to my computer took less than a minute.

For those of you who don't know 80X equals 80 X 150KB = about 12 MB per second speed. I am sure faster cards will give better performance but I don't think you need anything faster than this for the money you pay. Also, shooting using the burst mode (taking 15 pictures in less than 8-10 secs) was a breeze. I researched a lot for these cards and I think this is a good deal. I bought it from one of the outside vendors at Amazon (thememstore) and they gave me good service for a good price.

Amazing low power consumption and high speed SD card
After I used the 1GB PNY SD card to replace the SanDisk 256MB one for my Minolta Dimage Xt camera, I noticed the battery life dropped so much. At first, I thought it might take more power to write files to a 1GB card so that all SD cards would be the same to my small camera. Therefore, I gave up the 1GB PNY card. After my friend told me the low power consumption cards would make the different. I tried this Transcend 1GB SD card. It turns out, not only it takes so much less power than the PNY one, but also is the speed so much faster. It's amazing!

Super Fast SD memory
This is the fastest SD memory I tried.

I already bought Sandisk Ultra II and Panasonic Super High Speed and are much slower than Transcend.

I can use it with my Panasonic SVAV100 D-Snap MPEG4 Digital Video Recorder with excellent performance.

Highly recommended !
