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.

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.

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.

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.
