Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 2GB SD Memory Card (SDSDB-2048, Bulk Package)
Customer Review: More than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased my Canon S2IS camera, I was looking for something good, but not too expensive for taking pictures of friends and family and various nature shots to save on the computer. I didn't need professional grade equipment. When it arrived, it had the 16MB card. I was a little disappointed at the 6-8 pictures OR the 7 seconds of video. I knew that I was going to need to get a better memory card eventually thanks to the reviews of all the other people who purchased this same camera.
I shopped around and found this great deal that seemed to be too good to be true. A 2GB memory card for only 16.99. I looked into this through every customer review on the amazon web site and through the sellers profile and the customer reviews on their site. Still a little skeptical, I figured it was a chance I could take for such a great price. I was amazed when I recieved the memory card and found out just how many pictures I could take without having to stop and erase the bad ones or save the good ones to the computer before taking more. Some of the reviews have said it holds 1500 pictures, but I haven't needed to take quite that many just yet. I didn't really get the camera for the video option, but so far I have captured almost a half hour of good quality video at one time. This has turned out to be the best deal I have found in a very long time. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive memory card to play around with for personal use and more.
Customer Review: Reliable brand-name memory!
Summary: 5 Stars
If it wasn't for the free camera I won at work in 2003 I wouldn't have standardized on SD memory for my devices. So I got to witness the huge price drop for SD memory cards.
While I use DVD-R for long-term archival storage I mainly use these 2GB cards in my SanDisk e140 MP3 player and my Nikon Coolpix L5 digital camera mainly because they use the older SD card standard which is limited to 2GB anyway. But then I consider the e140 the best MP3 player I've ever used (the SD card slot and NiMH AAA battery support were huge considerations, along with a dot-matrix screen) while the Nikon has 5x optical zoom which, sadly, isn't found on the newer models.
But this is a review of SD card memory. And it's here where I can admit freely that I've tried many brands and noticed that some SD cards are faster than others. This "lag" is very noticeable in the Nikon camera. I've found that the SanDisk cards offer the right amount of performance for the dollar. When used in my MP3 player they don't draw much energy so I get a lot of playtime from charge to charge.
I'm sure anyone can find higher-capacity cards which offer less money per GB. But, for high quality 2GB SD cards, these are winners. And they appear faster than the Kingston and PNY cards.
Customer Review: SanDisk: The last word in removable digital media
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got a Kingston in my phone, but I have to say that I'm absolutely sold on SanDisk. I have a Sansa e260 MP3 player that I really wanted to double the capacity of, but I didn't know for sure if it was compatible with the High Capacity cards. So I just went with the 2GB model to be sure.
I popped it in my phone and then in my MP3 player and it works just like it's supposed to. By comparison, when I bought my LG phone from Verizon, I had to go through 3 Kingston cards before finding one that worked.
Don't expect any fancy packaging or you'll be disappointed. Mine came in the plastic storage case (note that the card and adapter were secure inside, not flopping around loose) simply dropped in a padded mailing envelope small enough to fit into my post office box. (I have the smallest box available).
Oh, I almost forgot... The shipping. Three days. Three days from 'click to order' to 'pull up outside the post office'. Hard to beat that... Amazon and their partners are, in my opinion, committed to customer satisfaction. I could go on, but then you'd just think I was employed by Amazon, so I'll just shut up, now...
Customer Review: Simply the best

I'll keep this short and sweet, no techie details here.
I've never had trouble with a SanDisk 2GB card in any of the Canon cameras I've used (multiple models). I can't say that about other cards.
The SanDisk is reliable, I've experienced no compatability issues and the SD format is my favorite. I've taken extra cards on vacation, just in case, but even though I take lots of photos I never have filled up a card (I regularly upload photos to the computer, though, except when on vacation). If you shoot a lot of video I suppose you could fill a card but you'll probably go through a lot of batteries first.
Only complaint is that store clerks don't seem to understand when you ask for the SanDisk brand. I had a Target clerk who got annoyed with me and repeatedly pointed to other brand cards when I asked for SanDisk (apparently she thought the SD format was an abbreviation for the brand but the SD cards are sold by several manufacturers).
Customer Review: Great little card at a good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card to transfer and hold music from my computer to use for one of the games on my Wii. Since the price was so good I also bought an extra one for my digital camera. It works great and the transfer rate seems fast. I've been buying San Disk cards for my digital cameras since the first ones with removable memory came out and used the CF cards and I've never had a problem with any of them. That was back when the biggest card held a whopping 32 mb! So I expect to get many years use from these cards. They'll probably be outdated before they ever wear out.
I bought the Sandisk MobileMate SD Plus Memory Card Reader to use to transfer the music and/or photos between my computer and the card, so I'm all set.
