Customer Reviews:

Lexar platinum 512 SD Card is excellent.......2006-11-01

I am very satisfied with this card. The service was excellent and I have used the card without problems. Would purchase again.

Don't buy unless you want to lose valuable pictures.......2006-07-02

I purchased this card about 6 months ago and it was working fine. But recently I just took a very nice trip and hiked for hours taking very lovely pictures. When I got back to the hotel and was checking all of the pictures, all of a sudden the pictures disappeared from the card (with no reason!). I was hoping somehow they would show up on my computer when I got back home, but all of the files show up with some strange text and showing 0 bytes. I lost all of the pictures where I worked so hard to take (I was walking around and hiking for hours!).

I will never buy another Lexar memory card or product again!

Best value, but a little inconsistent.......2006-03-26

I was going on a 3 week trip, and so I bought three Lexar 512MB digital cards (one per week). On my trip I found that two of the cards were able to store 351 images, while the third only fit 280 images. All three cards were identical, and I only saved photos on all three (no videos), so it seemed strange that one card would have a smaller capacity than the others. That said, I still had some free memory at the end of my trip, so it's not like my trip was ruined from missing out on 70 photos. It just seems that the number of photos should be consistent in identical products, and I did not find that to be the case. Aside from that, they say that this particular card is the best value you can get, and I found it to be efficient, perfectly-sized, and very fast to upload, all at a reasonable price. That's why I give it 4 stars, docking 1 for the inconsistency I observed.

Good to go .......2006-02-27

I bought this item for my mother and it works great for her camera...

Lexar SD card.......2005-10-25

I found that the price of this card was very good, but the reason for this review is this. The transfer rate of the card is excellent, anyone who uses digital knows that the speed at which the camera and the storage media work together is VERY important for taking fast pictures I recommend this card.
