First, understand that I am giving this product 3 stars because 'Technically' it works fine, and does the job that it is intended to do: Store Data. I have shot and downloaded over 10,000 images with the card, and have had NO problems or loss of data.
Here is what you need to know, though, if you are doing photography: This card is SLOW. And I mean, SLOW.
I am shooting a Canon 40D. I also have a Lexar 4GB 133x with technically the same stats. I have never had a problem with that card keeping up with my shooting.
With this Kingston card, I found that in Program mode, I could take only one pic every...oh, say 5-10 seconds. That was with it set to continues shooting mode. That is obviously unacceptable. Now, when I put the camera in the preprogramed 'Sports' mode, I was able to shoot (obviously) 70 shots very quickly...since that is the built in memory buffer of the camera. At that point, though, the camera couldn't take anymore pictures until they were written to the card...which took...well...5-10 minutes. Now, as they write you can shoot more...but only at the rate of about one every 10 seconds or more.
SOOOO.... Do I think this product is good? It's fine if you are just shooting grab shot of family and things like that. But if you are doing any sports (I shoot youth Soccer and Football games), you will be very frustrated with this card. If that is what you are looking for...go to the Lexar. If one pic every 10 seconds if fine, you will LOVE this card and the price!
Hope this was helpful!!!
Too slow for me November 10, 2008

This memory card takes quite awhile to save pics from my Canon XTi. My SanDisk Ultra seems much faster. It has locked up on me once while it was saving pics. I had to pull out the memory card because it wouldn't let my camera turn off since it said it was still trying to save a photo.
 Works Great. September 16, 2008

Not much to review here. It is an 8GB card that I use in a Olympus E-3. Works fine.. faster than the cheap stuff, slower than udma cards.

Card works great in my Sony A200k camera. Was concerned about write performance, but it has not been an issue. Camera has beeen very fast. Flash card does not appear to be a bottleneck at all. Good deal on this CF card for 8GB. Better bargain than SAN Disk.
