 Good value. June 8, 2009

At the time of purchase this card is only a hair slower than some much higher priced cards of similar capacity. I would suggest googling Rob Galbraith's compact flash performance database and you can then get some measurable results to make your own comparisons from. I'm running a pretty beefy dSLR and this card doesn't bog down blasting RAW files on high speed.

It's fast, it works too. The problem with CompactFlash cards is larger and faster they go, more likely they are to have memory problems. This one worked just fine.
Speed Plus Space, And Not Too Expensive March 31, 2009

RE the previous review, I formatted this card in a Canon 5D and found that it provided the advertised capacity. I typically use Lexar 300x cards and am satisfied with them, but I decided to try the Kingston Ultimate on the strength of its first-place recommendation in a recent review:
[...]
Into the bargain, the Kingston is quite a bit less expensive than the 300x Lexar.
I have gone to 16GB cards for the capacity but have not tried 32GB cards because, as of this writing, there are none fast enough. The real speed stops at 16GB, and slower cards (e.g. the "133x" class) will stop the camera with rapid buffer fills during extended shooting bursts. There really is a significant difference in burst length between the 133x cards and the speed-demons. As to capacity, with the 5D I can get about 900 RAWs in 16GB -- more than enough for an entire wedding, almost enough for a dance performance (which is where I need the speed). If burst speed is not an issue for you, a slower but more capacious card may be a more cost-effective choice.
 WARNING--Do NOT Format this!! March 22, 2009

I put this card into my Canon EOS30D digital camera and, I always do when using a memory card for the first time, I formatted it using the camera's own formatting routine. After the format, it is now it is an EIGHT (8) gigabyte card, instead of a 16GB card! I put it in a card reader and tried reformatting it on my computer -- it's still 8GB. Frankly, I'm concerned about putting critical data on it if a simple format causes it to lose half its data storage ability.
