5 out of 5 stars Keeps up with 640x480/30fps movie mode in friend's camera........2004-07-05

I was looking for a fast 256MB SD card to keep up with my friend's new Sanyo J1 camera with VGA/30fps movie mode, and I was tipped-off to this model by a non-Amazon review of another brand SD/256 card where the reviewer mentioned that this (SimpleTech) card kept up with his digital camera's VGA30 mode. I was originally going to recommend the Sandisk Ultra II to my friend, but on seeing so many bad experiences w/that particular 256MB card (this site and others), and seeing as I personally have a 256MB Ultra II card in CompactFlash format which cannot keep up with my own Sanyo MZ3's VGA/30 mode, we opted to go with this SimpleTech 256MB ProX. Opinions aside regarding the drawbacks of the SD format itself, if you have an SD-format camera and need a hi-performance card, this is the one, as it keeps up with the J1 at full bore with no problem, which was a huge relief and a pleasure. And this SimpleTech card is actually (significantly) cheaper than the Ultra II anyway--also has a better warranty & tech support. Card comes with a little plastic clamshell case about the size of a CF type 1 card but with ribs to hold the tinier SD card in place. As the page info says, also features a miniscule switch on the card to write-protect it. Card came pre-formatted, so no need to format in-camera. Most cameras will add their own file structures automatically, so if you stick it in & it works, I recommend you leave in the factory formatting (who knows, they may use a more-optimized cluster size) and only reformat the card if you are having troubles. FYI, doing a high-speed card speed comparison through a USB 1 interface is futile, since these cards are far faster than USB 1's 1MB/sec limit. I see a lot of reviewers mentioning their new fast card doesn't upload any faster through their old card to the computer via their USB 1 card reader, and all I can say is consider the source of such advice. Many digital cameras boast voice record capability superior to handheld cassette recorders, and sound captures an event in a way stills & brief movies can't. And when recording extended sound on large-capacity cards, even with the LCD off, the battery can often run out before the memory is full because of the large drain flash memory creates. Because of that, the lower battery drain of the ProX card is a big plus. I haven't fully verified the low-electricity-drain benefit with the ProX, but I have no reason to doubt it because in my world, SimpleTech has 'delivered the goods' in the other ways I've tested.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Memory Card.......2006-07-09

I've been using this card on a daily basis for the past week-and-a-half, having shot nearly 500 photographs in England and Portugal, and it has performed without a flaw. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Fast SD card for my digital camera.......2005-04-29

I bought this SD card and took some 100 snaps out of it.The card is really fast with my canon A510 camera.Reading takes a slightly longer time than writing.I would recommend this card to anyone.Actually this card outperforms the 16MB MMC supplied with the camera.Also the 256MB card will hold upto 200 (may be lesser) 3.2MP pictures.

5 out of 5 stars Great card from a reliable company.......2005-01-17

I got this 256 MB card for an HP 49G+ calculator. I have had it for about a month, and it fast and reliable. This is my second card from SimpleTech, the 1st being a 1 GB CF card that I purchased for an A95 Canon Digital Camera. Both cards works flawlessly, and I would definitely buy again from SimpleTech if they continue to be a reputable company.

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-SD/256 256MB SecureDigital Card SD, 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.

5 out of 5 stars Excelent little gem!!!!.......2004-09-07
