Excellent speed and durability
 
Review Date: November 27, 2005
Reviewer: B. Ha,
As a response to "mom2sarah..." who recommends 2 cards of 512 MB rather than this 1 GB, I have some things to point out
1. It is true that write (and read) a large number of small files to (and from) a 1 GB card is a little bit slower than a 512 MB. However, this card is mostly used in digital camera and today moderate cameras have image resolution of at least 4 megapixels which means around 1 MB per file. And 1 MB is big enough to reduce the difference of transfer speed. For those who use relatively new camera, this difference is hardly noticeable.
2. Occasionally you would want to record some video from your digital camera and of course you don't want your movie to be interupted because of memory limited. In my Canon S2 IS, a super fine video of 620x480, 30fps uses the whole 1GB card just for about 8 minutes. So, using 512MB is even worse.
3. Around the internet, this card is said to be pretty durable, there is no major corruption issue with it. Hence, there is no risk to buy.
4. I have used a lot of SD cards before and this is the fastest among those. I was impressed. The first time I bought this card, I took around 300 pictures (around 400 MB), when I transferred them to my computer, I suspected it would take at least 3 minutes like my other SD cards. But no, it took only a minute flat.
5. In my Canon S2 IS, the actually usable memory is 968MB. The fact is ALL memory storage devices always have a little bit less storage space than indicated by the manufacturer.

I tried to find some cons about this card because they will make the review to be fair. But I must say that I can't find anything to complain about this card.
But beware of FAKES

I have over a dozen SanDisk CF/SD cards of varying sizes. They are the most reliable SD cards I have used.

Recently I bought 2 1GB SanDisk cards from "1OnlyNewStuff" in the Amazon marketplace. When I got them I tried them out immediately and they read/wrote OK.

However, when putting one back in the camera something just did not look quite right about it. Comparing my two new "SanDisk" cards to any of my old ones showed that the new cards had no serial numbers, had slightly different physical profiles, and sort of blotchy printing.

Checking on the internet I found that SanDisk counterfeits have long been known on E-Bay. Now they have been brought to Amazon. There is a page at [...] which shows some of the characteristics of the fake cards.

I checked with SanDisk, provided them with photos of the two new disks and SanDisk confirms them as fakes.

The SanDisk pictured on this Amazon Page is real (note the notch on the bottom of the media - lacking on most fakes). Likely media ordered directly from Amazon is going to be OK.

However if you are tempted, as was I, by the lower price from some Amazon merchants when you get the cards inspect them to see if they are real or counterfeit.

SanDisk very promptly will help you with this. For example, if the media has a serial number SanDisk can confirm if it is valid. If it has NO SERIAL NUMBER, then don't bother SanDisk - because ALL actual SanDisks have serial numbers (and a lifetime guarantee)
A great card

I bought this card for my Canon S2 and it works so great that I bought another one not long after. The speed is excellent. I can actually scroll through photos on my camera with no delays and downloading to my pc is pretty fast.

The card holds over 400 photos including a 10 minute video clip, all at the highest quality. I am very pleased with this card.
High Quality

Just a disclaimer, I've only had it for a month so far.

Simply put, it gets the job done and done well. Holds a ton of pictures (on a variety of settings). What more can I ask for?
Good value on Amazon!

Had seen this chip at Best Buy for $90.00 and at Staples for $119.00, great deal on Amazon! Sandisk cannot be beat for quality also!
