Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Retail Pack SDSDB-512-A10, UPC Code 619659018115
Digital camera Review: Great SD card for the price; note for Kodak owners
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the SanDisk 512 SD card for my Kodak 7590 (5 MegaPixel) digital camera in October 2004. I've used it now for 16 months, and have never had a problem with reading or writing data to it. I've taken about 800 photos in that time, and have successfully used the card to transfer images from computer to computer and to the photolab for printing.
My only complaint is that it can be a little slow when shooting photos at larger resolutions. On the Kodak 7590, the 5 megapixel images are about 1.5-2 megabytes as high-quality JPEGs, and I find myself waiting about 3-4 seconds when taking pictures of that size. These times are, of course, much faster if I reduce the megapixels. I also like that you can easily lock this card with the little switch when taking it to a digital photo printer--no chance that they accidentally overwrite your photos.
So if you use your camera mainly for casual photos at family events, on vacation, etc., this card should be just fine. If you take a lot of quick action shots where you might need to shoot several photos in a short period of time, you may want to opt for the faster cards that are now available. But for the price, this is a great card.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR KODAK CAMERA OWNERS: In July 2006, I purchased a SanDisk Ultra II card for my Kodak 7590, because I was hoping that it would be faster than the original SanDisk 512MB. But to my surprise, it timed exactly the same. So I emailed Kodak, and this was their response: "We appreciate your interest in high speed memory for your digital camera. Our cameras are designed to operate, write and read SD cards at set voltage speeds. Therefore, there is no advantage to using faster memory in Kodak cameras."
So if you use a Kodak dock or USB cable to transfer images to your computer, there's no advantage to paying extra for an Ultra II, so stick with the standard SanDisk. If you use a card reader to get images to your computer, then it might be worthwhile to pay a little more for the Ultra II since read and write speeds through the reader will be much faster.
Digital camera Review: Great Value and Performance
Summary: 4 Stars
I've rewritten this card maybe a 100 times, and they work fine. It erases fast with my Nikon, and while the write speed seems a bit slow, I've had no card failure as with a CF card of this brand. I am not sure whether the card reader or the card causes failures to mount on my desktop, I have a $10 SD reader. I have to insert the card sometimes several times before the image appears on my computer screen.
I liked the CF cards for solidness and durability, SD seems a bit flimsy. But they have huge capacity, and I can carry enough for a few days shoot in my tiny camera pack. I have four 1 GB cards, too, and they all work great!
