Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5W
Customer Review: Did me well on trip to China
Summary: 5 Stars
This product performed admirably on the task I set it, which was to record pictures and video taken with my Canon PowerShot S5IS while on a nine day trip to China. Recorded over 1700 pictures and videos using up 14 of the 16GB on the card without a single hiccup. This class 6 card also provided noticeably faster performance than either of my old 2GB cards, one class 2 the other class 0. Knocked one star off the packaging rating due to the lack of inclusion of a plastic holder for the card when it's not in use, and for the fact that the included card reader has a plastic USB plug, which I'm afraid my prove fragile compared to readers with standard metal USB plugs. I've only had the card for about two weeks, but it did what I asked it to do over that time, and I'm anticipating that it will be my primary SD card for years to come.Customer Review: Fast and enormous capacity
Summary: 5 Stars
This memory card and reader is used on my Nikon digital camera. It is large enough to handle over 2,000 large-format JPG images and can even handle over 900 large-format JPG + RAW images (double files for weddings, etc). This card is not accepted in any built-in SD reader on computers I've tried thus far, without the use of the supplied card reader. That is simple enough though, as all I have to do is plug the reader into the computer's USB and the card is read. This card is not rated as fast as some of the most expensive cards currently available, but is fast enough to take 4 frames-per-second without overrunning the camera buffer (that is, if some of the custom settings on the camera are turned off - they are unneeded during fast-frame capture anyway so it doesn't matter). This card + reader set is an excellent value.Customer Review: Great Card and Card Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this product from Amazon and received within 3 days. Great service. Memory card is also quite good, it's a 16GB Class 6 SDHC card and I got it for my new Canon Rebel XSi DSLR Camera to save the images in RAW format. RAW file size is huge, around 16MB for 1 photo. So with this card I can comfortably take 1000 pics without formatting. As it is a class 6 SDHC card, camera read/write speed is also fast. Another great stuff is the card reader. I am using MacBook Aluminum and it doesn't have in built card reader. So this external card reader is great help for me. I don't have to connect the camera with USB cable with MacBook. Just pull the SDHC card, put it in card reader and plug the card reader into the USB port of MacBook. Then iPhoto or Adobe Lightroom instantly detect the storage and transfer it fast.Customer Review: Very helpful memory card
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card for a trip to Europe. I bought a 16 GB because I knew I was going to take A LOT of pictures, and this was exactly what I needed. I took about 3000 pictures and had room for about 2000 more (with the quality settings I had on my camera - 10 megapixel and something about lower quality allowed me to take this many).
I'm not really sure if there's a big difference between memory cards as far as performance is concerned, but this one seemed to do a great job of writing the pictures quickly.
The extra USB hookup is also very helpful. I usually have to use a newer laptop with a memory card slot to upload the pictures, and then I send them to my desktop, but this lets me upload them right to my desktop.
Overall, a great buy.
Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a 14.6MP Pentax K20D and shoot in RAW which produces some large files. The adequate 1GB and 2GB SanDisk Ultra II's I was using in the old 6MP K100D suddenly seemed tiny.
I watched prices of memory cards on Amazon for a while, and picked up this one (and 2 x 8GB cards with reader) to go with the 4 x 4GB Transends (and some Kingston and Lexars) I had. The combos were on sale for cheaper than the card-only price. I don't do much "burst" shooting, but I have not noticed any write-time issues.
The card reader is nice and compact, and replaces a larger and USB-cabled SanDisk reader I had been using. Some people wondered if you can copy to the card through the reader. Yes, you can.
I think I'm set for memory cards, now.
