Digital camera reviews of SanDisk SDSDH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Better to get Two 512 MB Sandisk Ultra Cards...Here's Why
Summary: 4 Stars
This is in response to the first reviewer's valid observation/comment, notably that "This card seems to have a good transfer rate when copying a small number of large files. However, it still crawls when compared to my panasonic 256MB SD card that is much older when copying a large number of small files." The reason for this is that the bigger the card, the longer the recycling time between shots or uploading or downloading files. The best explanation I heard is that info processing in memory cards is similar to it running around a track - the bigger the card, the longer it takes to get around the track. That's why I ALWYAS recommend people who insist on having 1 Gig memory to buy TWO separate 512 MB cards! Also, in the slim chance your card gets corrupted, you won't lose ALL of your precious photos. Btw, I have owned the ULTRA II versions of their Compact Flash Card, Secure Digital Card, and Memory Stick and have never had any problems. But it's always advisable to be "safe than sorry". Finally, unless it's an older camera, your camera will most likely benefit from the increased speed these cards allow. Therefore, I wholeheartedly believe they are worth the extra cost. I do NOT recommend the regular Sandisk cards however - they are Overpriced and SLOW.Digital camera Review: Big Al
Summary: 5 Stars
The product was shipped timely and received in a very short period of time. It also gave me about twice the number of pictures on my new digital camera than I had mentally expected. Reasonably priced.Digital camera Review: Bought two and am pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm quite happy with these cards, though I've only had them for a week. If I have any problems I will come back and edit this review. In the meantime, I've already tested filling them up with gobs and gobs of pictures and with videos created from my camera. I've totally filled them, copied from them, deleted from them, and formatted them multiple times now (I'm going on a trip and want to make sure they work well before I leave). I haven't noticed any delay in the camera due to the cards. I'm not sure how much you can really say about memory cards except that they seem to work as advertised.Digital camera Review: But beware of FAKES
Summary: 5 Stars
I have over a dozen SanDisk CF/SD cards of varying sizes. They are the most reliable SD cards I have used.
Recently I bought 2 1GB SanDisk cards from "1OnlyNewStuff" in the Amazon marketplace. When I got them I tried them out immediately and they read/wrote OK.
However, when putting one back in the camera something just did not look quite right about it. Comparing my two new "SanDisk" cards to any of my old ones showed that the new cards had no serial numbers, had slightly different physical profiles, and sort of blotchy printing.
Checking on the internet I found that SanDisk counterfeits have long been known on E-Bay. Now they have been brought to Amazon. There is a page at [...] which shows some of the characteristics of the fake cards.
I checked with SanDisk, provided them with photos of the two new disks and SanDisk confirms them as fakes.
The SanDisk pictured on this Amazon Page is real (note the notch on the bottom of the media - lacking on most fakes). Likely media ordered directly from Amazon is going to be OK.
However if you are tempted, as was I, by the lower price from some Amazon merchants when you get the cards inspect them to see if they are real or counterfeit.
SanDisk very promptly will help you with this. For example, if the media has a serial number SanDisk can confirm if it is valid. If it has NO SERIAL NUMBER, then don't bother SanDisk - because ALL actual SanDisks have serial numbers (and a lifetime guarantee)
