Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 1024 MB CompactFlash Card (CF/1GB, Retail Package)

Customer Review: Excellent card for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this card for my Canon 20D digital slr and I've been very happy with it.

I got it on sale for $59 after rebates which was an awesome price in March, 2005.

While not the fastest card around, it's been rock solid. Never had a problem. The only time I notice the lack of speed is transferring it off my camera to my PC.

I use a firewire connection, and I can unload the entire card (1gb worth of photos) in 7 minutes. Yah, I could spend a lot more money to cut that time in half, but basically I go get a cup of tea while it's unloading. Most of the time, I'm unloading only a half full card so its a 3 minute wait.

I don't notice the difference in speed while the card is in my camera and I'm taking picture. I don't, however do a lot of 5 fps shooting, nor do I use RAW format much. When I'm shooting the best quality jpegs I never notice any write time to the card because it's all being buffered by my 20D.

I'm hoping Kingston gets a 2gb card happening, on sale, for under $100 and I buy one of those.

Kingston, most underrated buy in the compact flash world, as far as I'm concerned.
