Whether amateur or professional, photographers who use DSLR cameras know that shooting at maximum resolution requires a large capacity, high-speed memory card. Transcend's "Premium" series 400x CF card offers an excellent combination of impressive transfer rates and vast storage quantity.
Amazing SpeedSupporting Ultra DMA mode 0-6 (default setting: Ultra DMA 6), the Transcend Ultra Fast TS16GCF400 CF card with four-channel support features extraordinary performance of up to 60MB/s read speed and up to 30MB/s write speed, delivering improved camera response for fast-action consecutive shooting, dependable HD video recording capability and fast data transfer to your computer.
Rich FeaturesBuilt-in hardware ECC technology detects and corrects errors for data integrity. Low power consumption helps extend your battery runtime so you take more shots on a single charge.
Pros: I got one that was defective. It corrupted random image files when used in my Canon DSLRs. I tried several times to reformat and tried filling the card with data to let the controller map around the bad sectors. No luck. I went to the Transcend website and they have a very easy RMA process. I looked up my Newegg account online and printed the invoice, which was needed for the RMA to be accepted. I got back a new compact flash card of the same model in about a week. Nice customer service, Trancend!
Cons: Wish it would have worked the first time. If you buy one of these, test it thoroughly before you trust it with any important data.
Overall Review: Transcend flash memory cards are priced below Sandisk. Pro photographers spend the bucks for Sandisk but I'm an amateur so I can afford to take a chance to save a little money.
