This card reader does not work in all our items, ie the computer with a card reader – cannot pick it up. It is fine in the camera, and ok in the usb adapter, so useable in the computer that does not have the card reader. Other computers have also had problems reading the card. Still very useable though!!

Got this to go with Nikon Coolpix for my daughter. TONS of memory for her to take endless photographs and mini-videos. As she uploads her pix most evenings for Facebook etc I can’t imagine her ever running out of memory

It’s a bit of a worry with all those one star ratings, but I bought via Amazon, so I knew that if anything was not right I would at least be able to get a refund.
The supplier was Straight Trading who seem to have plenty of good reviews and a 99% customer satisfaction rating.
The card arrived very quickly, three days from ordering, and came packed with my new camera, a Canon SX1.
The card works fine both in my camera and also in my laptop (HP TX2) card slot.
It records stills and short video clips (in full HD 1920 x 1080) in the camera, and transfers these with no fuss to my laptop.
It seems robust enough for my needs, but time will tell. I have had SD cards that fell apart before – more than once, so I will reserve judgement on its lifespan for a while!
If you want to record a lot of video, or need a card for a camcorder, you should buy a class 4 or class 6 card, as a class 2 is really too slow to write to make it a sensible proposition.
Now that I have discovered the video recording quality of the SX1 I will certainly be buying a few bigger cards, and at this moment I don’t see any reason not to buy the same make again, though I will buy a higher speed class.

This 8GB Digital card is capable of storing an impressive number of photographs and movies at the highest pixel level and saves time re-loading when time is short

I bought this for my Panasonic LX3 digital camera, but the camera stops recording video after a minute or so because the card is too slow. I can’t imagine this card would cope with a dedicated camcorder.
