Memory-Card Reviews

This card holds A LOT of images. Not only that, but if you register it online, you get a free adapter for hooking it up to your computer without using the camera as a middleman. Lexar's shipping on the cable is pretty fast. There may be cheaper 256MB cards available, but stick with this one. It's incredibly fast.

This 48Mb card filled to capacity with ~150 pics takes less time to download to my PC than the 8Mb Kodak card that comes with the Kodak DC240. Beware that the Jumpshot cable works only with USB enabled Compactflash cards. It is the easiest way to download pics from your Lexar Media cards, but not a replacement for a compacflash card reader.

Without the picture I wasn't convinced that this was actually going to be what it said it was, or maybe they'd cancel the order and say there was a mistake on the price... Nope. The box says "High-Speed Professional Digital Film with Write Acceleration". It had the 24x 512MB Type II (thinner) CompactFlash card with case. Image Rescue software installers for Mac OS X and Windows are on the card. Also inside the box was a JumpShot USB CF card reader (I already had a SanDisk one, but it's good to have an extra). See [...] for more info. Anyway, I was originally looking at the 16X 256MB card for about [$$$], and got this for [...] which seems pretty amazing. Initial observation with the PowerShot S30 was that it was writing images a lot faster than my plain SanDisk 128MB.

With so many different gadget choices, you can never figure out which one YOU need to help upload those pics you took!
The Adapter is a PCMCI card that you plug your compactflash card into. So if you have a PCMCI slot on your computer, this is your BETTER CHOICE.
If you don't, then the reader is for you.
Both are very well priced here. Both save you batteries and time. good luck.

I'd bought it together with Microtek Take-It S1 and its marvellous to get more the 300 pictures with 3M-pixels and over 3000 in VGA. Thats what I wanted and got!

I bought a camera with 16MB, then upgraded to 128. It was alot of time and money. Then I got the 256MB card and it holds so many pictures. Great price too.

Sturdy and solid case. Only negative is round shape and relative bulk, but that's what makes it sturdy.

Although this little guy works very well so far as a SmartMedia card reader, it is not also a 4-port USB hub as advertised. I have not tried the CF reader functionality, as I do not own any CF media.

Plug and play - all I did was insert the USB plug into one of my slots and 10 seconds later it was installed (all by itself - no drivers from the CD needed) and XP prompted for reboot - that was it - 30 seconds and it was done

A very nice way to carry Compact Flash safely!

I use CFs in an industrial control system my company develops, and this product provides a safe way to transport them! I've purchased one for each of the software developers and others in our company who have a reason to transport CFs.

I've also purchased a few to use with my personal digital camera CFs.

I'd prefer a version that has space for four CFs and no PC Card Adapter, but that's specific to my needs.

It's an excellent card, very fast for the transport of the information. I didn't have any problem to use it with my digital camera, Epson.
