A useful and quite fast camera card posted on 2009-07-14
This card has worked well in my digital camera (a Kodak CX7430). And the 512MB size has been quite a revelation. Previously, I could only store about a dozen photos in the camera's internal memory. Now I can store 500 photos on this card, more than enough for an entire holiday!

In fact it actually presents a problem, in terms of backing up the photos, to have a single card that holds 500! Having bought several of these cards over the years, I was not entirely prepared for the need to dedicate quite a bit of time to backing them up, to a hard disk or a DVD.

The card isn't as fast as I was hoping, based on the advertised claim of x80 speed. It takes a couple of seconds to store each photo (but this is quite good enough for all the recreational uses I need it for).

This also means, when I transfer photos to my hard disk, that it takes a few seconds to read and transfer each photo. So copying fifty pictures out of the camera can take quite a long time.

I'm very happy with this card. Its storage capacity has made a huge difference to my camera, which originally was rather less useful than a 36-exposure roll of film and an SLR. It's the equivalent of having 15 rolls of film on hand - so no more hassle of trying to find somewhere to buy more film while on holiday!
 
Works fine posted on 2006-12-28
Works fine, no problems in the 6 months I've had it. If you are looking to do professional work or snap a lot of photos in short amount of time you will need to spend a bit more because it doesn't seem to write to the disk particularly quickly (at least not on my Canon Powershot). Very good value for money though.
 
Not so hot long term investment posted on 2006-07-05
Bought this SD card for my Canon IXUS 55 camera based on the reviews and how good it was said to be. In its early life I would strongly agree. It was quick to write the information, it stored the images well and was great for the price. 5 months down the line and after a fair amount of use the problems have started. It now seems to lock, distort images and comes up with a message saying that the data is currupt. This would include new shots as well as previous shots that were ok before but now are no longer assesable. I can't trust it, so feel forced to buy another card which I can be safe in saying will not be a ByteStor. I guess the solution is to always have a spare whatever the make and best that they are different makes too.
 
Disappointing posted on 2006-06-29
The price of the memory cards on Amazon are amazing compared to the prices on the high street. I ordered the card yesterday morning and received it with this morning post. I don't know much about the quality of memory cards having just acquired my first digital camera (bought on the high street at a much higher price!!). I did not want to pay £50 for a 512MB memory card if I could get one for under £20. I tried the card as soon as I got it and it got stuck in my camera although I know it's the right card for it. I got a 'memory card error' message. I managed to dislodge it without force and without damaging my camera. I am sending back the memory card today and I will (unfortunately) be buying a card on the high street!

I bought this from Amazon for my Nav-cam 7000 as it only had a 250mb card in, the speed was a vast difference, all files copied easy on to it, would highly recomend this to any one who wants speed and reliability, also use one for my digital camera good buy and cheapest I could find, speedy delivery as well, keep up the good work Amazon
