Digital camera reviews of Sandisk 512 MB Secure Digital Ultra II (SDSDH-512-901, Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: How many pictures will it store?
Summary: 5 Stars
How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.
The Sandisk 512MB Secure Digital Ultra II, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.
I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

The Sandisk 512 MB Secure Digitial Ultra II (SDSDH-512-901) sent to me was not the item I ordered. I returned the item, unopened.Digital camera Review: One less thing to worry about
Summary: 5 Stars
I took this memory card to Paris for my very first visit... and shot every frame I had available.. When I got back to the States, everything downloaded with ease and the images are beautifully clear and beautifully formed. My favorite point-and-shoot is digital with Leica optics, so I am naturally very discriminating about where those images are stored. When I frst saw the clarity of those Paris images I felt like this was a well made product.Digital camera Review: Performance and price - think twice
Summary: 4 Stars
There's a review here where someone takes their COMPUTER and analyzes the performance of the card. Unfortunately, most of the time what matters is how the card works with your CAMERA. A camera generally doesn't move data as fast as a computer, and it has to process it first - so those tests really only measure how fast you can download the images (or other files) to your hard drive. If that matters to you, great.
For the rest of you, especially camera users, here's the real story:
- You need a faster than standard card if you plan to use 30fps 640x480 video. It's also a good idea with high resolution cameras, if they are especially fast at processing and writing the images.
- But ... I just bought a different 512MB SD card for $10 after rebate. It's hard to beat that price / performance ratio if you're just storing photographs. Sure, video of the 2 year old nephews is fun a couple times a year, but other than that, regular speed cards work fine for many uses.
Always buy what's right for your needs. And, if the price differences are small, go with the faster card.
There are promotions every week on various memory cards, look for one if you have time. Those can make higher speed cards a good value, though the standard speed cards have gotten so inexpensive you may want one as a backup as well.
