 You get what you pay for September 9, 2007

It's a memory card, how can it not perform the basic function that it's supposed to do? Obviously, the product works and at a tempting price when lined up against similar products. I use the one given to me with the purchase of a digital camera. The problem I've noticed is a s-l-o-w write speed, e.g., I take a picture and it takes 2-3 s. to store before I can take another picture. I have a Sandisk 1GB in my PDA phone and when I plugged that card in, I could hardly detect a lag time between shooting pictures.
My advice, spend the extra $15 on a Sandisk, Olympus, Fuji, etc..., stay with the known, reputable brands. It's worth the extra change.
 Satisfied September 9, 2007
Order process was quick and non nonsense. Initial quality (few weeks) as expected. Adapter very useful as card can be used between mobile and GPS.

Easy to use and transfer photos from camera to laptop.

 Lost photos and videos on Kingston 2GB SD card September 8, 2007
24 out of 27 found this review helpful
I bought this card a few months ago for my Casio Exlim Z55 camera. The price was attractive for a 2GB card and it came with a card reader. Like other reviewers, the card was fine in the beginning. However, the card is now corrupt and I have lost some precious memories of my baby captured since February 2007.
Recently, we took a lot of photos and some videos during a family vacation in Hawaii. After taking a photo of my 1 year old son, my camera suddenly returned an error saying that it was unable to display the image. After that, whenever I tried to take a new photo, my camera would capture the photo, flash the photo in the display for a split second, and then return the same error. I was only slightly concerned at the time because I was still able to review previous photos and videos I had taken. I waited until I got home to troubleshoot.
When I got home, I was able to read the SD card in my macbook ONCE. When I tried to read it a second time, it could not recognize the card. I then tried to read it on my Windows PC. I was unable to see my photos or videos. I ran a couple of DOS commands and saw that the card had 500MB occupied on it, so I suspected my photos were still in there somewhere. I quickly googled for cardrecovery software. (I purchased something from www.cardrecovery.com for about $40. It scans your card and then allows you to preview the photos before you purchase the software. However, you cannot preview videos.) Luckily, I was able to recover most, if not all of my photos. I was not as lucky with the videos as they were all cut short. I was only able to recover incomplete footage. It wasn't until I ran the software that I realized I was missing more files than I knew about. When I first turned on my camera in Hawaii, my photos went back to May. Turns out I was missing over 100 images dating back to February! There were videos of my son when he was learning how to crawl. The sad part is I was only able to recover much shorter versions of the videos, but it is better than nothing. Also, I was able to recover a lot of photos.
At this point, I have not formatted my card. I am waiting to call Kingston Tech Support to see what they'll say. I originally emailed them from the Kingston website and received this response:
"For a replacement and data recovery contact tech support by phone at 800-435-0640, M-F, 6am-6pm PST and ask for level 2."
I am hoping that somehow they can help me recover my videos completely. Before Kingston, all I used were SD cards from SanDisk (1GB and smaller), which I never had problems with. I don't think I will ever buy Kingston again.
Hold lots of pics September 7, 2007
Got the card for our new Canon PowerShot Digital Elph cameras. Hold lots of pics. Very happy with it, and was a good price.
