Lexar 4GB, 133x Professional High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card

2009-08-16T21:00:00

I bought a bunch of these cards at a great price thanks to a manufacturer's discount. The loads of extra space comes in quite handy when shooting events, or even on my recent 2-week european vacation. Shooting is FAST and there continuos shooting comes off so much better than with my other, lesser-quality CF cards. On vacation, though, using my old Canon XTi body, every one of these cards had 1-3 error images, usually right at the end of the remaining space left on the cards. I had zeroed out the cards and formatted them before the trip, so I'm going to assume this is a potential problem with the cards. I didn't loose any important shots, but this issue holds me back from giving it a 5-star rating, much less give it props for reliable performance, but I won't necessarily count it down for that. Overall, I got great value for my money, and I'd recommend the cards on that note, but I'd advise people to test the card to the end of its capacity to be sure.

I'm a professional photographer working for a major daily in Miami and quite frankly, the LEXAR 4G 133X is the fastest card I've ever used. Ever since I've been using digital camera, the LEXAR brand has been a constant with me for its reliability, and now for its speed. Just watching the images download rapidly on to my computer gives me the chills, especially during those excruciating deadline moments. I also use the LEXAR brand SDHC for video-( I have to shoot video now in order to keep my job), for it's seamless imaging and reliability. In conclusion, kudos to the LEXAR brand, because it's the only brand I use.. P.S... I've used other brands before but unfortunately, i've had problems with them, specifically data error or lost images. I can honestly say that this has never happened using the LEXAR brand.

I have been using CF cards from two other manufactures in my camera. Now I am in the process of changing all of my cards over to Lexar 4GB cards!

I have only had the Lexar 4 GB 133X High Speed Series CF Card for about a month. I have used it three times, shooting indoor, outdoor and night pictures with a Nikon D300. It has worked very well. Download onto my computer from the D300 is quite fast. No delay. And, of course, the price was right. I'm satisfied. jdow32

I purchased a pair of these cards during a recent promotion. These cards significantly decreased the "write" time for images from the camera internal buffer to the card. These cards provided a noticeable improvement in the performance of my DSLR in the field. I have put a little over 2000 images on each card in the last month and have not had a single issue of failure or poor performance. I highly recommend Lexar cards and have only glowing things to say about the 4gb 133x cards.

I love the Lexar 4GB CF. I use a USB interface to download pictures from my camera. I also like the Lexar as a means of backing up all my digital photos. These little items are much easier to store and carry around than CDs or DVDs.

As photographer for an art museum and for individual artists and galleries I often shoot openings, fundraisers and other unrepeatable events. Reliability is key and quality of reproduction of art works and installations needs to meet the test of critical eyes. This card does its part in getting the job done without fail!

I have used Lexar 133x for all of my shoots in all weather types. I have never had a problem with images being stored. Consistantly strong card and will never change from Lexar!

I shoot alot of birds and airplanes and you need a quick writing card and this is that card.

Ever since I started using a DSLR, Lexar has been my only choice in CF cards. Sure I could try other brands that "SAY" they match up, but why switch from something I know will handle all my images quickly and with care.....Also, you can never beat a great price and rebates to boot.

I use these compact flash cards for digital photography. Good capacity, transfers easily to a DVD for permanent storage

I find I use a lot of cards and have all kinds laying around the studio. But when I really need one I can be sure of I reach for my Lexar cards. I just trust them. Other cards I have used failed or given me problems just when I can't afford them not to. This card is fast enough, I know they make faster ones but I can't tell the difference in any of my cameras. So I prefer to save a little and not get yje 300x cards some make for a better value while still plenty fast.

It is a solid piece of work.

I use these Lexar CF cards in a Canon 5D. I've yet to have any data read, write,or corruption issues with these cards or with any of my Lexar media for that matter. I'll keep buying and trusting my images to Lexar media.

I have used one of there 4GB Lexar cards with a Nikon D200 for a year and it has been fabulous ... very fast and plenty big enough to store a ton of sports related RAW pics. [$]This is a great opportunity for the hobbyist or Pro to get a couple. Highly reccommended!

I know there are cheaper cards out there, but with the Lexars I NEVER worry when shooting if something migh go wrong and that is critical in the wedding business!

I just started shooting exclusively in RAW format so the larger capacity is really useful and the write speed is fine for my work. I will probably get another similar card soon.

Currently using the card with a D300. For short burst shooting it's perfect. The write speed didn't hinder me at all. I shot 18 frames at 6 fps and the card kept up with the camera.

we all know that Lexar is a great company, and this just ads to the many products that i trust my images to. great stuff

I use a Fuji FinePix S9000 and I have yet to have this card lag on me; even when shooting air show action. For in tight shots at high resolution, it did not disappoint. The extra space comes in handy when shooting in RAW format.

[...]recommended this compact flash; it was one of the more expensive options. As a percent of the camera price, memory price is insignificant.

I use Sandisk and Lexar media exclusively, and this really is one of Lexar's best. If you don't need the transfer speed of a UDMA card, you can't get a better card than this one!
