Transcend CF133 CompactFlash Memory Card 4GB, Up to 30MB/s, DSLRs Camera Card, MLC NAND Flash, ECC, Support Ultra DMA transfer mode 4 - TS4GCF133

Introduction: I recently purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera. And while I love it the images are huge and my old 8GB cards would only hold around 250 - 260 photos. I got sick and tired of having to swap out cards just when I'm lining up the prefect shot. Review: I received this new Transcend 32GB card yesterday and promptly loaded it into my 5D Mark II, formatted it and headed to the zoo. This card did NOT disappoint! It was so good to see the images remaining counter max out at 999 on my 5D Mark II for the first time. And you can shoot high definition videos and multiple images just like you can on a faster card!! In Camera Speed: My faster cards "Transcend 266X Extreme Speed 8 GB cards" do NOT seem faster in the 5D Mark II then this 32GB 133x card at all. I get the exact same 13 RAW or 52 JPEG's before slowing down in continuous shooting! Now once it slows down of course it's slower, but, I usually only need a burst of 5 to 10 shots to get something anyway. Think about your shooting style and go from there, fast and furious order something faster otherwise this card just might fit the bill. I blazed through the zoo using my normal style of 3 to 5 shots a burst getting over a thousands stills with no noticeable difference in speed and felt the freedom at last to just shoot and shoot. I also recorded an HD video of 14 minutes no problem and a to the limit low res 29 min 59 second video. There is NO hesitation and no difference. Download Computer Speed: I then headed home. And that's where the one weakness reared its head. Downloading to my Mac. It was half the speed of my 266x card when downloading to the computer. But hey I'm at home now and speed is not an issue. I simply start the download, go put away my gear, grab a snack and drink from the kitchen and it's done. Recommendation: If you need a lot more room on your Compact Flash card and are sick and tired of running out of space and download speed isn't an issue this card is for you. I highly recommend especially for Canon 5D Mark II owners. 5-2-2009 Update: I found out there are some situations that this car is not fast enough for after all especially when saving 25 mb raw files in rapid succesion. While great for land scapes or museum and even renaissance festivals it's just not fast enough when the pace really heats up. I recently photographed Hugh Jackman and the cast of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the World Premiere in Tempe AZ and there were moments where I could have gotten some really cool shots that I missed because the card was still writing. On the other hand I'm sure I got some shots I might not have gotten if I had a load of smaller faster cards and was swapping them out. I still love this card especially for landscapes and slow paced photography and will keep it but am now looking for a faster, high capacity brother card to compliment it. [...]

I used this card in conjunction with a Syba Dual Compact Flash CF to 44 Pin IDE adapter on my NEC PC-9821Nr15 laptop that I imported from Japan. If you know how to get it set up, this can be a very convenient way to transfer files without a floppy or CD drive. (Use a tool called CONV98AT to make the card compatible with both the PC-98 and modern computers). For an easy set up, image the YAHDI disk image (which can easily be found by googling) to the card. I partitioned it to have MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows 98SE, and it works like a charm. The speed is adequate, though not super fast by any means. Considering how this laptop can't support hard drives much larger than 4 GB (4.7 GB max, I think), my options for a suitable hard drive replacement were limited. Regardless, this can act as a good hard drive alternative for retro computers. I can't guarantee it'll work on all kinds of retro computers, but I can at least confirm that it works good on newer NEC PC-98 computers. PS: If you install a Windows 9x OS on one of these CF cards, do this tweak to help prolong the lifespan of the card. This helps prevent overuse of the pagefile in Windows, which normally creates excessive writes to the card. With this tweak, the PC will use all of its available RAM before paging. *Open C:\Windows\System.ini in Notepad. *In the [386Enh] section of the file, on a new line type: ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1 (leave a single blank line between the last line in [386Enh] and the next section) *Save the file and Reboot for changes to take effect.

i have been a long time fan of the 5th generation ipod video, but it is far from perfect as is, and the one i have had no problem proving that. i earned an ipod video for labour as it was broken and i had an interest in fixing it. when i got my christmas money, i saw that i had enough to buy all the parts i wanted to for a whole ipod restoration! so i went on buying a battery (here on amazon) screen(ebay) and a u2 editon case kit (ebay) and a few other things. while looking for a new hdd for this ipod, i came across a device that will eliminate the hdd for a cf card and it iwas only $10 on dealextreme,and that by using a cf card, i would never have a disc error again! so after seeing that my hunt for a good, high storage, ata-compatible cf card began, and shortly ended later here on Amazon! who would have imagined that the best price wasn't a cheap chinese copy on ebay and was rather on Amazon, and with a good brand name to boot? i wasnt buying this for a high speed pc's ssd, nor for a dslr high quality camera. it was a way to soup up my ipod, and it worked flawlessly! i like that it uses only brand name NAND flash memory (or so it claims) but i think that any type that worked would suffice for my humble use. this one was only 14.9gb, but hey, who cares? i got what i payed for. and what i payed for was quality on the real cheap. wish they labeled it 15gb tho. would be a more true to spec statement. might as well just move the whole market on to a 15gb,30gb,60gb standard. oh well. not Transends fault. and btw, Transend is truely a fitting name. they really transend expectations with all i have purchased from them. no BS and no nothing. thier stuff has yet to fail me,and if it does, i will post that it has here on this very review, along with the rigors i put it though to do so.

La tengo desde 4 años y durante este tiempo no ha dado problemas. Se compró para cámara fotográfica, no para uso profesional. El resultado para aficionado es correcto y la velocidad la adecuada, sabiendo lo que se compraba.

Tarjeta de rápida escritura para mi Nikon D300, estoy muy contenta con esta compra la verdad.

Great CF card. Decent size storage capacity - been in use almost daily since buying and not a single error. For a CF card, the transfer speed is very quick! Functions as it should, standard design and compatible with most CF products (check there’s no card size limit on your device first)

古いSONYの一眼カメラで使用です（α３５０）。挿入取り出しは問題無し、以前はＳＤカードをアダプター利用にて使ってましたがあまりに遅い為こちらを購入。最初からこちらにすればと買ったと後悔！全てにおいて快適です。ＰＣ取り込みではさほど違いは感じませんが撮影時の取り込みは雲伝の差です。同じ環境の方でしたらおすすめです。

NIKON D3（フルサイズ）用に2枚 購入して 計3枚持ちで撮影（花蝶鳥風月）に出かけておりますが 1枚当たり約400カット行けますので容量的にはまず不足ありません。書き込み速度においてもストレスありません。
