I had used this product with a Minolta 414s since mid 2004.
Never failed. The 256 MB were enough for the 4 MB camera.

Compact flash card.......2007-01-10

I had one fail to work, after a a few months. It came with a used camera I purchased.

I called SanDisk to ask for assistance. Not only did SanDisk help,they sent me a new one. This professional decision was made on their behalf, I did not ask for a replacement, or expected one.

I WAS TRICKED BY AMAZON.......2006-03-09

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk 256MB CompactFlash Card, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

P.O.S........2004-08-29

Okay, I just bought one of these. Then I proceeded to go on a 6 mile walking tour all over San Francisco taking shots all along
the way with my new Digital Rebel...everything seemed fine...
until I got home and tried to view them on my computer...
CF Card Error...then I put the same card back in the camera...
Err CF...it's unbelievable the effort I put into getting those
shots and they're ALL LOST...

I'd give it ZERO stars if that were an option.

DISASTER!!!!.......2004-07-16

I've owned my Sandisk 256 MB for only 5 months when it went dead on me. After spending our honeymoon in Club Paradise, Palawan, Philippines, and taking so many totally great pictures, it just stopped working. It was working when I was taking pictures in Palawan, but when we were going to take our last picture on the plane, the digital camera just said CF Error. Damn! I tried reading it on my card reader when I got home and it wouldn't work. Even tried it on 4 different digicams and all reported error. Man, it's not the card I'm really pissed about, it's the pictures!!!! MAAAAAN!!! I couldn't even have it replaced, Circuit City says I need the receipt for them to replace it.

Worth every penny!.......2003-03-18

This card is great. I was worried about spending so much money on one card, but wow, it stores so many pictures. We went to Florida for spring break and I just brought this one card and took four hundred pictures and a couple movies. You really don't need another card if you get this one.

after 8 months on my Canon S200. no probs........2003-03-06

The SanDisk 256 CF card is a good card, I have not lost any images or had any sort of problems with this card in the 8 months I've had it. (in chicago weather too, humid summers and bitter winters)

I have a Canon Elph 2MP camera and with this card I can store 500-600 images. I didn't notice any slow down in shooting pics even with the card 75% full. It does slow down when reviewing your images on the lcd screen.

But in 8 months I've owned this card I have not lost a single image, so I would not be afraid to purchase another card. cheers-

The card isn't compatible with my Sandisk card reader, but other than that I'm impressed with it.

Great card for those with D-SLR.......2003-09-28

I bought a base model Lexar 256MB CF for my Canon Digital Rebel (D-SLR 6.3MP) and I was disappointed in shot-to-shot time and I don't even want to comment on how slow the picture transfer to PC was.

Today I was fed up and traded in for the Sandisk Ultra 256MB and while the shot-to-shot time is up slightly I can't believe how fast the 3MB JPEGs stream to my PC. I'd have to say its at least 3X faster on photo transfers.

I think the latest crop of digital cameras can really benefit from faster storage media and if you've invested a good bit in your digital outfit then you should definitely consider premium memory.

I would have given 5 stars if the price was a little bit lower.

It writes faster.......2003-04-04

.... The Ultra writes images to the camera faster than the regular version. That's how it is correctly marketed. It does not allow your camera to take images faster or shoot moving images faster - those skills are up to you and your camera. For pros, this card does make a difference because it cuts down on the writing time. For point and shoot photographers, I'd recommend buying the slower, less-expensive version.

Not any better than a regular Sandisk 256MB card.......2003-03-02

I have a nikon coolpix 4300, and I own both the regular and the Ultra versions of Sandisk's 256MB compact flash. I can tell no difference whatsoever in the speeds. I've even tried timing them. The adds about the Ultra being faster and better for someone shooting a moving object convinced me to buy it, but i really don't think it was worth the extra money. Save your money or purchase a brand with speeds proven to be significantly better than a regular sandisk compact flash card.
