Awesome speed!
By A1K55W199O8G5R on 2006-04-18
I got this 80X SD Card for my Canon SD450, and it's working great. I researched a lot about high speed SD cards and found this the best value for money. Also, I compromised with a 1 GB card because I think it's quite enough.
I have used several cameras (using SD, XD cards or sony's memory stick), and each time I have been transferring the pics there is a very long pause. NOT anymore! On a USB 2.0, transferring the first 150 pictures (each 2+ MB) from my camera to my computer took less than a minute.
For those of you who don't know 80X equals 80 X 150KB = about 12 MB per second speed. I am sure faster cards will give better performance but I don't think you need anything faster than this for the money you pay. Also, shooting using the burst mode (taking 15 pictures in less than 8-10 secs) was a breeze. I researched a lot for these cards and I think this is a good deal. I bought it from one of the outside vendors at Amazon (thememstore) and they gave me good service for a good price.
Super Fast SD memory
By A2V0ITIWLEL8RY on 2005-12-06
This is the fastest SD memory I tried.
I already bought Sandisk Ultra II and Panasonic Super High Speed and are much slower than Transcend.
I can use it with my Panasonic SVAV100 D-Snap MPEG4 Digital Video Recorder with excellent performance.
Highly recommended !
Amazing low power consumption and high speed SD card
By A3LN0W2BNVZX3A on 2006-01-27
After I used the 1GB PNY SD card to replace the SanDisk 256MB one for my Minolta Dimage Xt camera, I noticed the battery life dropped so much. At first, I thought it might take more power to write files to a 1GB card so that all SD cards would be the same to my small camera. Therefore, I gave up the 1GB PNY card. After my friend told me the low power consumption cards would make the different. I tried this Transcend 1GB SD card. It turns out, not only it takes so much less power than the PNY one, but also is the speed so much faster. It's amazing!
Good enough for VGA/30fps and 5mp/6mp/7mp* cameras
By A3CTA4A8AFJFB3 on 2007-02-10
Value, size, speed and quality are all good, but you have to know what you need to know if this is the right card for you.
VALUE
First of all, it's priced well for a fast card (12/2007). There are a lot of slower cards out there with more capacity or sized similarly for a bit less, but $18 for an 80x 1GB card isn't bad. Note the value equation (Price versus capacity & speed) is sure to improve in the next 6-12 months.
SIZE
With regards to size, 1GB (or more correctly 1gB**) is roughly a 10-12 minute VGA quality mjpeg/mov/avi video (or closer to 25+ min in mpeg4/divx) or anywhere from 250-300 very high quality (e.g. very low compression 2:1) pictures. For me, it's a good compromise between usable size and safety - large enough for a photo album but not all the pics in 1 album. I bought 2.
SPEED
Now, about the speed, 80x means 80 times the basic read/write speed of 150,000 bits per second (the old audio CD speed standard). Cards that don't claim a speed usually run at less than 20x speed (like 4-8x) for slow applications like MP3 players or data storage. Digital cameras and video need higher speed cards because they have to transfer so much data to clear their working memory to achieve fast burst/follow-up shots and smooth video.
80x speeds will let you take about 3 very high quality pics per second in a 5mp camera, 2.5 fps - 6mp, 2 fps - 7mp. Some cameras can go faster than this, like 3 fps until the card is full of 7mp pics, but a slow card means lower fps. If you need faster speeds, consider Transcends 150x cards - also well priced.
QUALITY
Lastly, I've had no bad cards from Transcend so I have to rate them highly.
OTHER INFO
Some others brands have some attractive features like built-in USB contacts (no adapters!), but it'll cost you (more than double).
SD-HC capacities (greater than 2GB) are offered, but the Class 6 rating (40x or greater) is pretty slow so I'll wait until they have Class 12 or something. Note not all devices support SDHC, but most new high megapixel digital cameras should.
* 7mp cameras with high-speed burst modes may not reach full burst speeds with 80x cards, consider higher speeds if this is important to you.
** It's the old GB (1024 * 1024 * 1024 = 1,073,741,824 Bytes) versus gB (1,000,000,000 Bytes) labelling issue. Probably started with the hard drive manufacturers, but don't quote me on that.
OVERALL
Good cards for my needs and for most point-and-shoots out today.
As good as it gets
By A2H6PU0P02AF1 on 2005-10-17
I'm using it with my Casio EX-Z750 and it seems faster then the camera actually needs! 8)
- Very good for the price
By A3SIBJUMFWP6IG on 2006-06-12
I bought the Transcend 1 GByte card for my PDA. My Axim x51v immediately recognized it and is working flawless for the past few weeks. I am planning to get the 4GB model too which is currently retailing for $90 to $110 elsewhere.

- Fast
By A3I7JE8EYG4QS6 on 2006-07-21
Movies or continuous shooting with my S2IS camera works great. No problems so far.
- Low price for great product
By A1EUZDYVJQ9QLQ on 2006-07-29
Canon A610 camera and Windows XP recognized this card instantly, and it's super fast!
- Excellent Card
By A2Z28Q2UPJHXPU on 2007-01-13
Have used this for over 2 months now. Very happy and pleased with it. I used it for video also, and recording at the highest camera setting was crisp. No jumping or stuttering due to slow write times. This was using 640x480 at 30FPS.
- Works Great with Nikon D40
By A1H1GZJ0UIV21Z on 2007-03-03
I bought this card because it was a high speed, low cost, 1 GByte card. Its performance has been perfect. I'm completely satisified. There is no reason to pay more. The lowest price was here on Amazon.
- Works well. Great value.
By A32C6SG7QO62AG on 2006-10-04
This memory card works just fine in my new Canon A540 camera. The low price is outstanding for this 80x memory card, making it an excellent value. Other memory companies charge more for slower or smaller cards. I think many customers are going to turn to Transcend for their memory needs. Count me in. I'm very happy with this one.
- Fast and no failures
By A2IRBPXKGT89NM on 2006-12-16
I got the card for my Canon 620a (7 meg) and it works great. There is no lag in transfer from the camera to the card. 4 months of use and no failures yet.
- Transcend all the way!
By A1SSSU9AFMN079 on 2007-05-15
I've found the product to be quite good. I use an int'l card and many other sites denied my order as a result. Transcend however accepts Int'l credit cards. The card itself works well, i will however advise to go for a higher speed, perhaps 150x, but performance is ok, and 1GB is enough room! I have a Canon Powershot A400 and the camera runs well with the new card.
- Excellent memory card
By A2TQKTZDNOHW1S on 2006-09-09
Great speed

work just fine with my Nikon coolpix S4
Up date also work fine with my new Nikon coolpix S10
- Good performance, value!
By AU5LFV2SIVIDR on 2007-01-24
The 80x cards are just as fast in my DMC-FX50 as the 150x I have.
