Customer Reviews

Really pleased
I purchased the SDHC card and card reader (for use with Canon's FS100 camcorder) not only because of the good reviews, but because I've read it's highly recommended to get: an SDHC card reader to transfer files to your computer faster and a high capacity SD card with the highest class category (6). After recording with the FS100, I plugged the SDHC card into the USB reader and then plugged it into my laptop - the process of copying the files to hard drive (3 .MOD files: 146MB, 90MB, 70MB) took less than 20 seconds. Easy peasy.

Great product
This memory card and card reader worked great on my trip to Europe in July 08. 16 gb is a lot of memory. I like the idea of memory car instead of DVD because it is easy to edit. The memory card reader allows me to use the memory card in any computer. Canon has a great idea with this product.

Fast, large and so far, very reliable
I have had this card and my new 10.2MP Nikon D80 for 3 weeks and both work very well together. The card holds 1,200 photos (I shoot RAW only) and since I use Auto-Bracketing, I really only get 400 unique shots per card. That is a few hours for me. Quick tip- as soon as you get a memory card (any card), format it on the camera (not the computer) and then ONLY use it with that camera. Switching cards between cameras will sometimes corrupt them.

I like the media card reader that comes with it since a lot of older computers with card readers will not recognized an SDHC card. With or without the card reader, this card is wicked fast too. My 2 GB SD card would take 45 minutes to offload the images on the built in card reader. This card and reader can offload 2 GB of images in 90 to 120 seconds on the same machine!

I liked this card so much, I bought two more last week.
