Customer Reviews

Great deal, but slow
I bought one for my Leica D-Lux 3 and both the card and the reader work fine. However, if you are shooting RAW files, the write speed is very, very slow. So you might want to look at the Ultra version of this which I think costs about $20 more.

High capacity but slow card
This high capacity card transfers its images to my computer a bit slowly using the supplied micromate reader which you will need unless you use the camera itself. I noticed that its transfer rate is about 2.5 MB/second which translates into a little less than 1/2 hour for all the images if you fill the card to capacity. I have other Sandisk SD cards that are much faster but I will use this card for travel when I am more concerned with capturing many pictures and am willing to wait to transfer them to my computer when I get home.

I received excellent delivery times from Amazon and its supplier for this product and have never lost a picture due to a Sandisk card failure or had any compatibility issues with Sandisk memory cards. I rate the card 3 stars because of its speed; otherwise the card and its reader work well.

Ton of space and easy to connect to PC
I used this 4GB memory card and took 850 photos, and 10 or so video clips on a 13 day tour of the UK with resolution at 2,272 x 1,704 with my Canon S3 IS. I only used up 1.5GB. No worries about a full card and the reader made it easier to plug directly into the computer's usb. As the fine print says though, the reader will only work with this 4GB memory card. I tried it on a 1GB SanDisk without success.
