Works Fine

Works Great. Lots of Memory for the Casual User. Great Price and free shipping.

None

I always chuckle at the so-called, self-proclaimed professionals who get on sites like this and try to show off by throwing photo jargon around. They then proceed to complain how the item doesn't meet their standards, not fast enough for their needs, etc. It's like the professional race car driver that buys a VW Bug and then complains that it's not fast enough to win the race. It's a FREAKIN' $15 card, people. What do you expect for $15?
If you are a casual shooter like myself, which means you like to snap shots of the kids in just about any setting, maybe take a hundred or so shots in any given month, don't need to take shots less than a second or so apart at the fastest, then this card will do the trick. I researched on the standard popular shopping sites and general shopping sites like pricegrabber and yahoo shopping and this is by far the best deal. If you live and breathe photography and have the highest expectations for performance, then this one might not do it for you.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
works, but slow

It's inexpensive and it works

Slow

I purchased two of these cards for my Nikon D70. They both worked fine, but were significantly slower than the other two cards I own (80x Lexar and a generic Sandisk). I shoot RAW and it was taking 4-5 seconds for my D70 to store each RAW file... Just as a reference point - my 80x Lexar saves a RAW file in 1-2 seconds. I ended up returning these and ordering Transcend 133x 8Gb card - it works much faster.

I guess if speed is not critical to you, these cards are okay.
