5 Stars inexpensive flash card
Good thing I bought this when I purchased a Canon PowerShot 960, since the camera comes with no memory card! I also discovered that the camera, in AUTO mode, creates jpegs that are 3 Mb or more, so it will not take long to stuff this card. I should have (and just now did) buy a couple of 8 Gb Kingston cards, which are not that much more expensive. Note that this is not the fastest card available (currently Class 6), so do not expect rapid transfers to a computer.

3 Stars Works as it is supposed to
Nice to have an alternative to the higher prices brand names, it works that same and is multi functional

5 Stars Tons of space for my music!!!
This little thing is just a god-sent card. Although is a Class-4 16GB SDHC it doesn’t affect at how I play my music and videos from my Cowon D2 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black) I’ve got 1/4 of my entire music collection in it. That’s about 4000 mp3 songs! So I have a lot of music for playing before changing songs, which, by the time being, I did not have the need to. And it always worked flawlessly. I can completely be confident that my data in it will be safe. I’m just waiting for the 32 GB version to drop prices. I hope this will occur soon since the advent of the higher capacity SDXC cards (note the ‘X’) is going to happen any time.

1 Star Slowest shipping of all time
Arrived about two months after I ordered it. Won’t be ordering from this group again to say the least. Absolutely pathetic service.

4 Stars Good so far
Well, I have filled up the entire card with high-def video and retrieved the data just fine, so my first impression of this data card is good. I know that a real test of data cards is over long-term use and re-use, but there are some that are also damaged or bad on the spot. My experience so far with Kingston is good, and I would recommend it.

5 Stars Excellent Product
This product is reliable, fast and convenient. The “Kingston” name is recognized as a quality product and performs as expected. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for quality and reliability at a reasonable price.

5 Stars Nice 8 GB Kingston Flash Memory Cards for Cameras
Why spend more on 8GB Kingston Flash Memory Cards when you can save more than 50% at Amazon Market Place? You take digital pictures, load your pictures from the memory cards into your computer, erase the images from your memory cards, use the fresh memory cards with your camera again. In fact, you recycled the memory cards which became merely a vehicle to load and dump the pictures. Whether an expensive new one or a cheap used one does not make a difference.

5 Stars Works Great, No Problems
I bought this for a Nikon L20 10-megapixel point-and-shoot camera.

It works fine and I’ve had no issues.

I’m not sure what the high speed gets me since I am not using all that sophisticated of a camera, but it seems responsive enough.

The only downside I have discovered is that the SD card reader in my two-year-old Dell PC is not SDHC-compatible. Meaning it will not recognize a card of this capacity. It’s kindof a bummer, but I have a newer laptop that reads this 4GB card fine. This is not the card’s fault, but you may want to verify what your computer will handle before you move up to SDHC.

All in all, I am satisfied with Amazon service and pricing, as usual. I recommend the Kingston 4GB Class 6 card without hesitation.

5 Stars Quality, Compatible, Fast (for me)
As is always my experience with Kingston they make quality products at a middle price. You can find cheaper as well as more expensive cards with the same storage and speed. I feel they are more consistant than many of their peers.

As for compatibility I have never had an issue.

I have used this card in the following:

Nikon DSLR’s

Nikon point & shoots

Canon DSLR

Canon point & shoots

Panasonic Lumix Cameras

HP Computers

Sony Vaio Notebook

Dell Computers

IBM Computers

For me their cards have worked as they should in a wide array of products I own. I think the read/write class 6 are fast and at the moment class 6 is the industry standard.

If you purchase any SD card off Amazon, test it in ALL the items you may use. If any or all of them are NOT compatible you can return it. Amazon has a great return policy and you usually have 30 days. Test the SD card and if you have issues return it and try another or another brand. PNY, Sandisk, Transcend and many others that I have used also worked in all of the above products I listed.

2 Stars constantly get file errors
crap…constantly get file read erros.. ive lossed dozens of pictures or couldnt take a video because it would crap out and then freeze my camera… my cam works great with other memory card.
