It will work, but at what price?.......2006-09-27

I used the CF Card in a Canon 20D for wedding photography photos, and it worked flawlessly along with the rest of my CF cards.

Pros
+Decent Write Speed
+Holds almost 1 GB of data
+Solid CF card

Cons
-Extremely overpriced
-After buying other CF cards, I cannot justify the price.

If you'd like a CF card with a great warranty, then this may be for you. On the other hand, there are many other CF cards that will work just as great or better but for far much less.

254 shots with 8 Megpixel Camera.......2004-05-20

SimpleTech is the best across the board, for all types of memory cards. This 1 gigabyte CF card is excellent. I use it for my Olympus C8080 digital camera. At the highest quality setting, this CF card will get me 254 color shots. Not bad. It's dependable, well-built, and has a fairly fast write time.

Ignore the negative review:.......2004-03-06

Clearly the person giving this one star is doing so because apparently they are upset that the card could not be used in a product not designed for it! Normally I write very few reviews but it's quite irritating when people post negatives simply because they don't understand what they are purchasing.

This is a CF II card...that means it's for cameras and devices with a CF II slot...

In any event, this is an excellent card. Very fast with my Cannon 300D (Rebel). Uses minimal power, with no moving parts. I've never had a problem with any read / write operation. I'm getting 287 6 MegaPixel images...hopefully enough for most people! Overall very happy with this card.

Works well.......2003-12-20

It's a type II card, so it's thicker and won't fit in a type I slot, but if your device has a type II slot, as most PDAs do, it's a fine card. I have one in my Dell Axim.

Type II card won't fit most cameras.......2003-11-21

I bought this card to use with a Canon S400, but it does not fit in the CF slot. It is a Type II CF Card(5.0mm) most digital cameras take Type I CF cards(3.3mm), which are slightly slimmer. At the time of purchase, the fact that it is type II was not posted on the detail page and the manual was not available. I don't think it's obvious to the layperson what the "T2" represents out of "ST-CF/1GBT2." It would be nice if it were added to product details or description. Finally, why buy a type II when you can get a 1Gb Type I that fits all CF devices for less money?
