Digital camera reviews of SanDisk SDSDB-256-A10 256 MB Secure Digital Card (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: The new floppy disk
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two of these cards. One for my PDA and a 128MB one for my camera. They work as advertised and the transfer rate seems decent.Digital camera Review: Excellent Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card for my KODAK CX6330 3.1MP digital camera. On this camera, at best resolution, I can take 306 pictures and/or 16 minutes of video. After a lot of use, it hasn't failed or gave me any problems. In fact, it's at least 3x faster than the internal memory when taking, deleting and viewing/thumbing through pictures. Video taking is very nice and fast as well, no problems there, it looks great when watched on TV with friends/family. Approximate download times through cable provided with my camera are about 3 minutes for 50megs of data. Mine is manufactured in China. I would recommend it for use in digital cameras. I'm considering buying another card of 256 or 512meg for making longer videos and to have even more shots when on vacation.Digital camera Review: Bad SD cards made in China and/or Taiwan
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a bit upset. I finaly jumped onboard the GPS passion, got myself a nice 512MB SD card from SANDISK, spent a great deal of money for the Destinator3 product and ther actual Bluetooth GPS receiver etc. I have a brand new IPAQ 1945, so i figured i was in luck.Well, i downloaded my MAPS onto the SD card (USA5 East Coast 280M in size) and the product basically failed to start. It gave me Map Bit errors found, bad address info etc. I spent several days trying to figure it out, including time spent with the Destinator support folks. I also ran several tests against the SD card itself, which passed. SO, FINALLY I gave up on the product, and spent another 100$ on Mapopolis. Again, i had the same type of problems... Then by accident i come to find out, this indeed was and is some sort of SD card problem. Other people have reported this in the past on: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4383, and other web sites as well.
Apparently a great deal of cards made in China and Taiwan are more or less worthless. Especially they can't handle large chunks of data such as these GPS maps without corrupting them. I switched to a Japanese made card, and now all my apps works again!! Go figure.
But, i am upset. I spent a lot of money on my SANDISK card, and it should never have failed.
I would love to address this issue with SANDISK and other similar vendors. If anyone else has similar bad experiences, could you please post them here, or email me at jorgenchr@hotmail.com ??
I feel strongly that vendors like SANDISK should make this public knowledge and offer free exchange / Money back on these faulty chinese made cards. Maybe giving them a list of people being affected would get them going
Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this memory card in my 4 megapixel digital camera. I save all the photos on the highest image size, and I still never have to worry about filling up the card, unless I am on an extended vacation. I usually get about 130 photos on this card. I have never had any problems with lost photos, or downloadingto my computer. At $65.00 this product was a bargain.Digital camera Review: Works Well enough for stills
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a dimage xg and the card works fine for taking still pics. The continuous setting will take up to 5 or 6 pictures at the highest settings before pausing. Don't bother with videos at 360x240 and 30 fps--the playback on the lcd is fine, but worthless on my pc. Either you use 160x120 and 30 fps or 360x240 and 15 fps (or both minimal settings). The video at these res/speed are reasonably good for a digital still camera. I wonder if low write speed is the culprit?
