Transcend 4GB Ultra-Speed 120x CompactFlash Card - Green (TS4GCF120) Reviews

• BETTER STAY AWAY FROM LOW QUALITY CARDS

  I considered this card to shoot a wedding because being short on cash it seemed like a good value, I researched a few websites and found some encouraging comments so I went ahead and purchased it. What a mistake!!
  I filled up the whole 4GB with RAW/JPEG photos (I use a Canon EOS 30D) and when I transferred the photos to the computer (used 2 computers and 2 card readers) I started getting hardware failure errors after errors and lost over a dozen precious photos.
  Needless to say I was majorly furious. Thankfully I like to be prepared and also carried my old and trustworthy (5 full stars) 2GB Sandisk Ultra II.
  From now on I will stick to Sandisk cards, I'll pay more but I know my photos will be safe.

  It seems like a few people here didn't appreciate me giving negative comments to this product. Oh well, too bad for them, I'm not going to lie. When they have their precious photos destroyed too maybe they will understand the meaning of "review"

  My card started with 10% corrupt pictures from Nikon d200. After a few months it is no longer recognized in the camera or card readers. Emails to transcend have gone unanswered.
  
  

• This One Worked Right Out Of The Box

  Having read about the problems others have had with memory storage in their digital cameras, I was apprehensive about buying the cheaper brands of storage, especially the 120x version. I wanted a lot of bang for my buck and still remain confident that it would work. Transcends' Compact Flash card not only formatted correctly the first time, its' speed never faltered. I purchased Canons' new XTi which came with no memory, and was pleasantly surprised when I slipped the 4GB card in and scrolled to the format position on the menu and selected format. The card was formatted and ready in a matter of seconds. I quickly took about 10 pictures in raw and downloaded them to the computer... 0 problems. I reformatted the card, and took 40 to 50 repeat shots as fast as the camera would take them. There was only minimal lag time when I took the indoor pictures. The outdoor pictures just clicked away. I am very satisfied with the Transcend 4GB compact flash card and will purchase one or two more of these in the near future.
  
  

• Low Price, Low Quality, No Technical Support

  This Transcend 4GB, 120x CF card was purchased along with a 2GB, 120x and they have not failed yet, but the Transcend 2GB, 80x CF card that I purchased a month earlier failed and I lost some very important images. I was using it in my Canon 30D. I tried several different Software Recovery programs to retreive the images and none of them worked. I have tried to contact Transcend Technical Support through their website but they failed to respond. I do not recommend Transcend CF cards. This experience has taught me to pay a little more and stick with the proven brands, Sandisk, Lexar and Kingston.
  
  

• Works great - never had a problem

  For the price you can't beat transcend cf cards. I have three - 2 4gb and one 8gb. Using them in a canon rebel xt and rebel xti - worked great from day one.
  
  
• Lexar no more...
  By A1GLT55Q5UUXFE on 2007-01-09
  I have always used Lexar Compact Flash cards in the past, I have had major problems in the last year with them, and Scott Robert Lim recommends the Transcend 4GB cards on his website..so I thought, if its good enough for him, I know its good enough for me...the price had me a little concerned...it was ALLOT cheaper than I was used to paying for a lexar...but I have loved it since the day I got it, and I always use my Transend card, never the Lexar...I would recommend the Transend Card to everyone!! Thanks for having an affordable, yet GREAT product!!
  
  
• great compact flash card for an awesome price!

  I had a Lexar compact flash card fail on me a few years ago and thought I might like to try a different manufacturer. I switched to Transcend and have not looked back. I have three 512MB cards, two 1GB cards and now this 4GB card. Never a problem with any of the cards. Very fast and very reliable.

  By A391H50G5630CA on 2007-03-17
  I've only had them awhile (I bought two), but am very pleased so far with them. Great price, and they perform as advertised - noticeably faster than the Ulta IIs.
  
  
• Does what it's supposed to
  By A1CQEIOAFD8MT5 on 2007-05-23
  It has worked so far as any CompactFlash card should. I have not had any problems of performance with it. I cannot compare it with any other since this is my only one. It seemed like a good price.
  
  
• Fast, reliable but jury's still out.
  By A9KLB49IC680U on 2007-02-20
  I'm using this card in a Nikon D200 and it's doing very well. Just had one instance yesterday where I shot several images but none of them recorded on the card. Given the card and the camera are new, this could be a fault of either the controller on the card or within the camera, so I'm not pointing the blame at either just yet. When I removed the batteries from the camera, removed and re-inserted the card, all was fine. Given that I was still reading images from the card when the camera was not writing to it, I suspect it's more likely the camera's at fault than the card.
  
  Great value for money though :)
