I purchased two of these cards to use on a recent trip to Europe. I shot close to a 1000 images with my D70S, and couldn't be happier with their performance. Fast write times, easy and reliable transfer from card to computer.

 
Proven Reliable!
By Lawrence O'NealVerified Reviewer from Greensboro, NC on 3/8/2008
Pros:
Reliable, Strong Construction
Best Uses:
Digital Photography
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have three of these cards and they have proven very reliable. I shoot more than 3000 pictures a week, every week, with them with no problem. I actually ran one of them through the washing machine and dryer. Another went through the washer only but they both still work. I'll galdly take them to a wedding and use them even after abuse like that. I'm not sure how some people are saying the are not reliable.

Slow Write Speed
By Wyon8ive from Casper, WY on 8/24/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Interface
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Purchased the Dane-Elec 133xs for my Minolta 7D camera. I took 5 consecutive RAW-Jpeg shots...card took anywhere from 60-90 seconds to transfer the data. Also...if you can...make sure your Dane Elect CF has a serial number on the back of the card before you open the package. You can not return it to the merchant here if the package is opened and Dane-Elec will not talk to you if you don't have a serial number or "bar code" as D/E likes to refer to it. This is not the bar code on the packaging as we know it...it's an actual number sequence on the card itself. My money spent on this card flew out the window. If you have the time to wait for the image transfer...my images have turned out acceptable with no problems.

Questionable QC
By LeanleaperVerified Reviewer from Lynnwood, WA on 7/6/2007
Cons:
Unreliable Storage
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

From the varying reviews it seems pretty clear that the Dane-Electric quality control leaves much to be desired. My experience is completely negative. The 4GB card is the first CF card I've ever owned that downloads badly corrupted files. The camera previews on my Canon 20D give no indication that anything is wrong, but when I transfer the files to my computer or to CD the files are corrupt.

 
Not bad for the money
By MotaProductions[@]Verified Reviewer from Atlanta on 7/6/2007
Pros:
Inexpensive-shoots fast, Large Storage for D200
Cons:
Slower at reading files
Best Uses:
Digital Capture, Digital Photography, Image Storage, Image Transportation
Describe Yourself:
Pro Ad Photographer, Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For the money, this is a decent card. The only problem is it doesn't transfer as fast to my computer when uploading, but is plenty fast in shooting. I prefer the SanDisk Extreme III

Beware
By leanleaperVerified Reviewer from Lynnwood, WA on 5/18/2007
Cons:
Unreliable Storage
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is the only CF Card that I have had trouble with. According to the camera preview in my Canon 20D it captures the image correctly, but when I download the files to my hard drives they are badly corrupted. This has happened on three different computers and three different HDs. I lost most of the photos on 2 different shoots before I gave up on this card.

Purchased two of these and traveled to and from Italy. I maxed both of them out and had no problems reading them whatsoever. They have a fast write speed (on my 10 megapix I could shoot about 4 pics continuosly on RAW and unlimited on JPEG).

Great Fast Card

Pros:
Fast
Best Uses:
Professional Cameras
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I needed a faster card because I could not burst with my Digital SLR set to RAW. I got one of these cards as a gift and was ready to give it a try. I was able to burst 3-4 RAW pictures. This card is great and have shot hundreds of pics without a failure
