1 out of 5 stars Beware.......2007-06-05

This item was listed as an accessory for an Olympus digital point and shoot camera that does not accept this memory card. Amazon linked it incorrectly. You're better off shopping for this in person or from your camera's manufacturer directly, like I'm going to have to do.

5 out of 5 stars Great for the price.......2007-05-08

Unlike other media cards I have purchased, these work as advertised and for a great price!

4 out of 5 stars A Great Value!.......2007-02-18

Look folks, anytime you buy an electronic item of ANY kind, some have trouble while others do not. And yes, occasionally a certain item or brand seems to have more problems than others. But that is the exception rather than the rule. The adage: "you get what you pay for" is far too vague a statement to be useful in all but the rarest of circumstances, a Plasma TV selling for $300.00 for example. In the case of this product, it doesn't apply. This media card is an excellent product at a terrific price. Companies like SimpleTech don't have huge marketing budgets, but that doesn't mean their products are any worse than the bigger players. If you want a good product and a great price, this one is hard to beat. We're not talking about cancer cures here...

4 out of 5 stars had this product for 3 years now, still working like new.......2007-01-17

Never had a problem, have traveled to Australia and Costa Rica with this card and not once has it shown any signs of distress despite high humidity and fluctuating temperatures. Love Simpletech memory products, I have been using them for years and never been disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Works great with Cannon Powershot A70.......2005-09-12

It can fit a ton of pictures and vides. About 500 pictures on my 3.0mp camera, in jpeg format, minimally compressed. I could also hold about 8 minutes of video at 640x480 resolution, 15fps (the max of my camera). At 320x240 it can hold about 3x as much (not 4x as much, as you would think). I have used the card for 1 year now, and have not had a single problem. I am going to be buying a 1gb card by the same company now, though I will suggest it is better to have 2 big cards than 1 huge one (don't keep all your eggs in one basket). Anyway, this card works great with my Cannon Powershot A70. Simply perfect!

5 out of 5 stars 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 SimpleTech STI-PRO/512 ProX High-Speed 512MB CompactFlash Card, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 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 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

4 out of 5 stars Priced too high for the speed.......2004-01-04

The card seems to work fine, but with a Canon S40 4 mp camera, the speed of taking pictures is no better than my Lexar 12x 512mb compactflash card. Save your money and go for an equivalent but lower priced card.

5 out of 5 stars Very smart choice.......2003-11-24

I have two of these cards. One for my Canon S230, and one for my Ipaq. The high speed read/write speeds are most impressive. It allows that camera to be ready for the next picture before I have it framed. And the low power usage makes it possible to get many more pictures out of one charge with the camera. Canon says you can get about 475 shots out of a charge with the s230, I have managed to get as many as 520 shots on one charge! The cards have never failed on me. Even with the abuse of being thrown in my pack when I go mountain biking, they are always perfect!
The card in my Ipaq holds a lot of files, many MP3s, and MPEG videos. I am able to play back compressed 320x240 videos from it on my Ipaq pretty well. Both cards have been very good to me!
This card is a perfect blend of speed, reliability, power consumption, and price. Strongly considering buying another.

5 out of 5 stars Very Fast.......2003-07-02

I was skeptical at first that this CompactFlash Card would 'really' be 'high speed', but our own test confirmed that my Canon PowerShot S50 would be ready for the next shot in one second as opposed to the almost 3 seconds we were experiencing with the small card that comes with the camera.
