Amazing for the price.
By A140ZQTD2OLWM7 on 2008-01-27
The only reason that I didn't give this card 5 stars is because its not a 266X, which is not the cards fault, it just means it is not the fastest card out there. But for the price, I'm in LOVE with 133X!! Such a great deal. Oh, the card works fine, too. It works just like a memory card should. It stores stuff. Stuff that stays there until you erase said stuff.
Great Price and Performance

I use this compact flash card with the Canon 20D. I picked this particular brand because of its price. It's frustrating to pay top dollar for new technology only to have something faster and large storage capacity come out at a cheaper price is a relatively short time.
The Transcend 4GB card didn't disappoint. I tried it just a few days after receiving it at a track and field event at the local high school. The amount of photos this card will hold will depend upon your camera settings and on the ISO level you set your camera to. (The lower the ISO or light sensitivity setting the smaller the file size.)
The card performed well and one must remember that card speed is only half of the equation. Your camera's internal buffer also plays a role. I had been using an 80x speed card and this particular card I'm reviewing is a 133x speed. I didn't notice that much of a difference in terms of writing time to my card while using the shutter and I think I was faced with a buffer issue. I was taking continous shots of hurdle jumpers and long jumpers and taking as many photos per second as the camera could handle. It was nice having a large card to handle all the photos and not have to worrying about swapping cards.
I think this card is a terrific deal and I think I will get another!
Works Great

This card does what it is supposed to do. No issues. Great memory card!
Great value and performance in Canon 40D
By A1EZ1W74IIJFA4 on 2008-07-04
I use this card in my Canon 40D DSLR and think it's great. I was a bit skeptical when I purchased this card due to its low price, but it has proven itself plenty fast enough for my camera and most likely for any camera that's not UDMA-compatible (and even then, I can't imagine needing more speed). I shoot in RAW+JPEG mode, so my average photo file size is around 15MB, and this card doesn't slow me down even when shooting action at 6.5 frames per second. That's more stress than most cameras will ever demand from their card.
Does it job, as long as it stays cool
By A1EJBPQB12X41I on 2008-09-23
I purchased 4 of these.
Went out to shoot a movie being made, got some great shots on my 40D, 6.5 FPS, great for those action sequences, only problem I ran into was that it was nearly 90 degrees out, that coupled with the high FPS caused the card to lockup on me and refuse to read or write anymore.
After getting home I knew I wold be able to recover them so not a huge deal.
Got home, tried the card, all it had was BMP's? I shoot RAW only, ok, try the other card, no problem, time to fix this card, tried it again real fast and everything was fine, pulled off all of the pics and formatted the card. Havent had a problem since. At 10MP RAW I get around 15 frames at full FPS before it has to wait to wright.
- Outstanding CF card
By A22P35BFI9T1RG on 2008-08-04
I finally decided to move up from my old 1-gb Compact Flash card, and when I found this Transcend brand 4-gb, there was no reason to wait. Experience with Transcend products before has been excellent. Sure enough on getting this one, my only regret was that I didn't buy it earlier. It's fast and gives me more room than expected for photos. May not have to tote my memory tanks along any more, at least on regular trips.
- Reliable card that does what its supposed to do
By A3I1QEO12BJY21 on 2008-10-15
I've been using the Transcend 2GB version of this card for a year now with no issues on my Nikon D200. I recently moved to this card and its as reliable as the previous one. No issues yet. Its not the fastest card around but for the price, its not too bad. Recommended!
- Cheap, high capacity
By AA1PT6FAXAXOI on 2008-10-16
This is a good card considering the price. After about 1000 shots over a few weeks, I did encounter an error on my 40D while shooting that required me to reformat the card and lose about 20 shots. Thankfully I was able to redo the shots, but this incident doesn't give me much confidence in this card.
As others have said it does not seem that this card is actually 133x speed.
- Great bang for the buck!
By A2LY37YY016TTR on 2008-11-01
I bought this to replace my Sandisk II 1GB card which costed ~$100 at the time. This 4GB card costed me <$16 (incl. shipping) and allows me to shoot RAW freely. Speed wise it is very decent. No complain there. After all, I made a conscious decision to buy this 133x card rather than a faster one. Can't give it a lower mark for not being faster, can I? Usage wise, I have not experienced any problem since I bought the card a month ago. I was a little skeptical about Transcend brand (vs. SanDisk, for example) at first but Amazon reviews suggest similar dissatisfactory rate so I guess the qualities are similar. I have used this card w/ my camera (Rebel XT) in 90+°F Southern California weather and so far not observed any anomaly (data lost) as some reported. All in all, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
- Excellent card for the price
By ADMVKS6828IJC on 2008-05-21
Needed an inexpensive CF card for our wildlife camera. I've always received good products from Transcend and this was no different. High capacity memory for a good price.
- Solid Value
By A2TUKQ9YGHU5IN on 2008-07-04
I have cycled these cards (2) about twenty times now and haven't had any problems at all. They seem to be as fast as my SanDisk II 2G in my Canon 400 XTi, although speed is not one of my needs as a landscape photographer. This is just a good value.
- CF card speed
By A214NOONL728JH on 2008-07-13
Card is working fine but it is like regular speed or at least not 133 for sure.
- Great item. Great price.
By AK00P56S4CCOU on 2008-08-17
I'm using this memory card in my Canon Rebel XT digital camera. It works great. 'nuff said.
- Fantastic deal!
By A14686969BU10F on 2008-09-24
Item was shipped quicker than expected and was delivered in excellent condition. The product works as expected and we are extremely happy with our purchase.
- Great Deal!
By A19SV8RORORMNX on 2008-10-03
I was looking for a CF card because I just got a new camera and my SD cards did not work. So I just bought a 2 GB SD card and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This was a GREAT DEAL! It came in less than a week and was about $2 more for the 4 GB compared to the 2 GB... no brainer!
