Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 1 GB Secure Digital Flash Card ( SD/1GB ) (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This item came in a package with my Pentax *ist DS - my first digital camera - and I wondered how others rated it and what the replacement cost would be. <shrug> Too bad I am the first to review it.
While Kingston has a mediocre reputation, I have had absolutely no problems with my 1GB card, it has worked flawlessly for four months and many hundreds of pictures.
The working volume (after formatting, device files etc.) is 980M and this is enough to allow me to take 94 shots of EXTREMELY high quality - ~2000x3000 pixels and ~10.2M per shot - or - over 2000 shots at the lowest quality! I would not hesitate to go on a two week vacation with only two of these cards.
The card physically is not much larger than a postage stamp and has a tiny slide that allows you to "lock" it, so that no pictures will be erased.
I use an inexpensive card reader (USB 2.0) and can load 500MB into my computer in under ten minutes, so the speed is good.
I am very pleased.

Customer Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little thing! I remember the days when 1G cards were so expensive that it just didn't seem worth it to pay so much for something so little. Now that everybody's making them; the prices have thankfully gone down.
Kingston is suberb! I have no problems with this thing since purchasing it in October 06. It's very fast, loads programs very expeditiously and I can't wait to purchase the 2G version....I use it in my Palm Tx; so far I got one movie on it and many pics( too numerous to mention)! YOu may be worried about buying a SD card thats not a 'Lexar' or a 'Sandisk' or any of the big memory card names, but don't you fret, this is a great value and you will wonder how you were able to function without it
Customer Review: Very impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have a lot of experience with other cards, so I can't do a comparison, but I've been very impressed with this brand. It's much cheaper (at least, it was when I bought it) but performs well and holds a lot. I probably got 130 pictures on it shooting at 10 MPs, and I expect I could squeeze a lot more on with a lower pixel count. I'm probably going to end up getting 2GBs to have on hand if I go anywhere, but this is going to be enough for most people who have a computer fairly handy. (Since I do, I rarely max out the card-I hate to wait to see how my pics look blown up onscreen-but I routinely shoot 80-90 without trouble.)Again, if you're shooting at less pixels, I expect you could probably go to 200 pictures.Customer Review: Very reliable product for great price
Summary: 5 Stars
I've purchased several Kingston SD memory cards over the past 9 months for my Canon SD600. When I switched over to the SD format from the smartcard I was pleased at how reasonably priced they were. Ar first I was leary about straying from the popular Sandisk brand card but the cheaper price of the Kingston cards made me give them a try. Now I feel great about the Kingston name. Their cards have worked flawlessly, in fact the only cards I've had trouble downloading from were some Sandisk ones I still have. I also love my TravelLite card reader (Kingston)...it's great. Highly recommend their cards, only ones I shop for right now.Customer Review: High Speed, Great Storage Capacity!
Summary: 5 Stars
Memory cards are all pretty much the same, but one thing that stands out about this one is the high speed. I have a feature on my digital camera that allows me to take 3 pictures per second until the memory card is full (which is over 600 pictures). This is the only card that I have found that has a high enough write speed to handle the infinite number of pictures. Most other cards lag after only 3 pictures.
The transfer speed to the computer is also pretty fast--I recommend an external card reader rather than plugging in your camera, unless you use a dock.
