Canon users beware!.......2007-06-01

I just discovered that this card can have problems when used in a Canon digital slr. Mine is a 1Ds and I filled the card to capacity on a recent trip to Croatia only to find that the images could not be retrieved when I returned. Lexar now has the card and hopefully can save the photos.

There is an advisory on the Lexar website dated June 2005 but no warning on the package.

I used the card several times before our trip and it worked fine. If you have this card and a Canon slr, check the Lexar website to determine if yours is a risk. Lexar will replace it with one that supposedly will not malfunction. If you are looking for a new card, best to pick another brand.

Fast and flawless.......2007-01-10

Used with Canon EOS 20D. Managed 9+ JPG's and 5+ RAW continuous shots before the card couldn't save fast enough. That's typical and may be a limitation of the camera. But it recovered fast and allowed further multiple shots.

Used a 133x and Sandisk ExtremeIII. I've got to say I saw no difference whatsoever in write speed.

Storage size was perfect for my needs allowing about 8Mpixel RAW's on a card.

No corruptions and no issues.

good memory card but not compatible with my canon xt.......2006-07-13

I have two old lexar compact flash and never had a problem with them,so I bought this 2GB cf,80X and I used it 3 times and last time I tried to see the pictures I had there,it said in the camera screen that the compact flash was corrupted and the pictures were lost!.I checked on the lexar website and it says there that there is a problem when using this memory card on a Canon XT digital camera,I wish I knew this before!.Now I have to send the memory card to them so they can recover the images and if not,then they will send a replacement.
DO NOT USE THIS MEMORY CARD ON A CANON XT!

Does not work with Canon 10D.......2006-03-10

This card will not reliably work with my Canon 10D. If I put too many pictures into the buffer (i.e., more than three), I get an "Error 2", which requires a reboot, and the pictures are lost.

Too bad. Good thing it works with my old, old Canon S40, which apparently doesn't write fast enough to the card to cause a problem.

Great product. Best on the market (I think). Never had any problems with Lexar (I have many).
