from Roscommon Michigan on 9/26/2007
I like the fact that I can get 1000 shots on one card. There is room for an occasional good shot I might make.
from Northern Wisconsin on 7/13/2007
I got this card at a great sale price - haven't seen it as low before or since. I wasn't sure I needed 4 GB of memory but I love it & it came in real handy when I was at CMA Fanfare in Nashville in June. It was great to have just 1 card & not worry about switching. Plus, it's fast! Even at regular price, it's a good deal for a great card!
from New Haven CT on 7/11/2007
I don't require super read/write speeds, although this card's speed is excellent. The cost per megabyte, including the rebate, made this an unbeatable value.
from Corona, Ca on 7/11/2007
excellent price for this product
from Houston, TX on 7/10/2007
These cards are a great value. I have already suggested to several of students that they buy this card. Great size. Good speed. Very reliable. Rebate does take a while. It does show up. I do not like this marketing scheme. Just give me a good price!
from Conyers, GA on 7/10/2007
I resently bought the Kingston 4 GB Flash Drive to take with me on a safari in South Africa. The quality of the photos is awesome! I was asked when I developed them if they were done by a professional - no just an enthusiastic traveler. For the price and quality, buy an extra. You never know when a lion, elephant, or beautiful sunset needs to be captured.
from Blue Bell, PA on 7/10/2007
I use this product to transport images between computers, especially between college classes and my home PC. It works fast and reliably any time.
from Raleigh, NC on 7/10/2007
It's really great for the price.
The size is also very convenient: for casual shooting, it's the only card I need to bring with me.
from Pflugerville, TX on 7/10/2007
I use this product all the time. I used to have a 2GB card that I was getting close to filling up. So I purchased this one and now I just shot and don't worry about storage space.
from Santa Rosa, CA on 7/10/2007
Thoroughly satisfied with this 45x CF card.
from Delaware on 7/10/2007
Good value for the money. Have used the card about 4 or 5 times so far. So far, so good.
from Chatham, NJ on 7/10/2007
If you do events, weddings, graduations or sports and shoot RAW this card will help. It's not the fastest or the latest, but it is solid and reliable. The price is good and gets even better when Kingston offers a rebate. I've used and abused Kingston CF and SD cards and never had a problem with any.

from UT on 5/9/2007
Seems like yesterday when I was impressed by the speed of a 40X Compact Flash card. Now we're at 300X, and there's no end in sight. Truth is, for 90% of my work, 45X (these cards) is more than sufficient by a wide margin. Reliable, fast enough, and a great warranty. What more could you ask for?
from Baltimore, MD on 5/8/2007
I use a Canon 5D digital camera and I am shooting both raw and best quality at the same time. The 4 gig card allows me to shoot more images on 1 card.
from Beaver Falls,PA on 5/8/2007
So far this has worked well in my 30D. For average shoots, the write speed is not a problem. With the large camera buffer, I can even knock off rapid fire frames. I download through a card reader and find that the transfer time is not a problem.
from Silverthorne, CO on 5/8/2007
Massive storage space, combined with a reasonable data transfer rate make this a solid choice for a CF memory card. Shooting RAW, I can fit over 450 images on my 8mp Canon EOS 20D.
from Md on 5/8/2007
Great capacity. Holds almost twice as much as we need shooting underclass photos per day. This card is quite slow in deleting unwanted shots in the camera.
from College Station, TX. on 4/7/2007
The 4GB 45 X Kingston flash drive is all it has been advertized to be and then some. Up to now I have been using 1 and 2GB flash drives. Nice to be able to shoot a lot of digitial photos in RAW without stopping to replce the flash drive every couple of minutes. When I am shooting I get so involved that I forget to check how may photos I have left and find myself replacing the flash drive just when I want to take a photo. This flash dirve has all but eliminated this operator proble.
from Vacavile, CA on 4/3/2007
Unfortunately, none.
from Detroit Lakes, MN on 3/30/2007
Works great in my Nikon D200's
Hard to beat for the price.
from Missouri on 3/29/2007
I've compared this card in my Nikon D70 to a Sandisk Extreme III for multiple shots. The Sandisk EIII states a minimum 20MBs where the Kingston (this product) is 45X or 6.75MBs transfer rate. With the faster write time, I can shoot 60 pictures in 30 seconds (continuous shooting) on the EIII. The Kingston is good with continuous shots (the camera has an internal buffer afterall), but can only squeeze out 30 shots in 30 seconds. So, noticeable difference, but still an excellent value for the price I paid!
from Connecticut on 3/27/2007
Does all that it it called upon to do. I use this with a Nikon D200, and it works flawlessly.
Very Pleased!
from Bear, Delaware on 3/27/2007
My experience has been good I prefer it over my other 2 brands
from Winona,MN on 3/27/2007
Fast and efficent card.
from American Fork, Utah on 3/27/2007
This 4 GB card has been great. It is fast, durable, and reasonably priced. I use it with a Nikon D70. I haven't filled it yet in a day of shooting. Photos are high quality.
from Sapulpa, Ok on 3/26/2007
A good product at a good price
from Castaic, CA on 3/26/2007
I bought this card as a backup, because I couldn't resist the low price [...]. I really didn't expect much and admit to being pleasantly surprised. I have had no problem with slow buffering using the card on my Canon EOS 5D, and the transfer time to my laptop is reasonably fast too! My other cards are SanDisk Ultra and Extreme cards, some of which cost double and triple what this card did, and I notice no appreciable difference in performance.
from Glendale, CA on 3/26/2007
Most of my CF are Kingston.
Have used this card in a couple of events.
Like my other Kingston cards, this card proved to be as reliable as the others.
Highly satisfied.
from Selma, CA on 3/26/2007
Great product, no glitches, very sharp images, I'm using a 30D and have NOT had to "wait" on the images to save. And for the price - Get two!
from Tucson, AZ on 3/26/2007
Holds 728 RAW images from my D70s, with no speed degradation from the 512k cards I was using.
from Charlotte, NC on 3/26/2007
You get what you pay for. I got this card at a great price after rebate, and I'm happy with it. But the performance is merely average. Copying files from this card onto my computer takes about twice as long as other cards I use (Sandisk Ultra II, among others). If you're in no rush, this card is hard to beat!
from Cedar Rapids, IA on 3/26/2007
Works as expected. I haven't measured, but the transfer time seems faster than my old card. I'm very happy for the after-rebate price I paid.
from Chicago on 3/26/2007
The card works just as I expected. It's fast and reliable and a wonderful price. I bought 3 of them.
from Maine on 3/26/2007
Great product. No issues with lag time. Smooth download onto the computer. Can't beat the price - especially with the rebate.
from Seattle, WA on 3/26/2007
I have a Canon D20 and I love having a 4GB memory card. With my older 2GB card, I would have to switch during the day, now I can I shoot pics all day.
This card is fast, I never have to wait for the Camera to write to the card with normal picture taking.
from Goleta, CA on 3/26/2007
I've been using this card for a couple of weeks in my Canon 5D and have had no problems. It seems fast enough to keep up with bursts while taking pictures and the download times are fine.
from Portland, Or on 3/26/2007
It works well when tested, although I haven't used it a lot as it is currently a backup for longer trips/photo sessions, after I get through the card currently in the camera.
from Cadillac, MI on 3/26/2007
Cards works as expected.
from Tennessee on 3/26/2007
This compact flash memory card gives me all the perfromance I need with my new Nikon D200 DSLR. The 4 GB capacity is great to use with cameras with higher resolutions as well. The speed is also perfect to use with this camera. I appreciate the price [...] and would like to be able to buy another one at the same price. Overall a perfect experience.
from Fort Myers, Fl. on 3/26/2007
Even though it is only rated at a 45, I have not experienced any problems. It did pause my shooting a couple of times shooting long burst in the RAW mode.

from tucson, Az on 3/26/2007
I use the card for photography and I love the 4gig storage.
from Richland, WA on 3/26/2007
While the Kingston card's speed rating is lower than the other 4 GB cards I own, this wasn't a problem during general photograph and downloading from a USB 2.0 card reader. The card has performed realiably in the field and there have been no problems with the card in the downloading process. The card was purchased with a rebate and as such was an excellent value. The product fully met my expectations and I will not hesitate to use the card in any situation except where using my faster cards might be more advantageous.
from Brick, NJ on 3/26/2007
Used on a Digital Rebel XTi on several hundred shots on a trip and didn't have any read/write problems.
from Jacksonville, FL on 3/26/2007
Kingston is a reputable company in the computer memory space, so I have no reservations about buying from a fly-by-night off brand CF card. to date it has performed flawlessly for me, and since my camera has a fairly large buffer, and I rarely shoot 'rapid fire', the somewhat slow speed of this card has not been any hinderance for me. It is great to change cards less often!
from New Jersey on 3/26/2007
I have multiple Kingston Cards in use, and have the utmost confidence in their construction and reliability. The cards work over and over again.
The 45X cards are great with few people needing the extra speed. I find on my 5D very reasonable write speeds, no lag. If you need faster write speeds look at the Kingston 133x cards. I also use those and feel the same way. Great Cards, Great Price!!
from Thief River Falls, MN on 3/26/2007
It doesn't get any better than this! I have used many Compact Flash cards and this one out preforms all that I have used in the past!
from Washougal, WA on 3/26/2007
Its a CF card, and it does what CF cards are designed to.
I shoot a lot of RAW, and take a few seconds between poses, so card speed has never mattered much.
from NJ on 3/26/2007
I bought one for my Dell Axim x51v pda for storage purposes but loved it so I bought a second for my Digital Rebel. I love how much space it is on one card-the digital photo age has made taking photos so much more affordable and mobile for me. With this memory card there is no need to worry about running out of "film", especially if I just shoot in jpg but even with RAW I have so much more space than my smaller cards.
from Salmon, ID on 3/26/2007
Very Pleased - and the price was right.
from Greendale, Wi on 3/26/2007
Reliable, but not fast enough for for my 1ds or my 5d. Slower than my other cards. Still very cheap.
from Annapolis MD on 3/26/2007
I have four Kingston CF cards, two 4GB, two 2GB, been using for 3 years with no problems.
from Grand Junction, CO on 3/26/2007
The memory card works fine. I recommend it. Kingston's rebate center is inept and on balance the card may not be worth the hassle. They denied my rebate submission improperly (isn't rebates what they do for a living?) and I had to re-submit my paperwork and point out the basis of their error. It looks like they've now seen the light.
from Upper Marlboro, MD on 3/26/2007
Highly recommended.
from Memphis, TN on 3/26/2007
This was a great value. I usually shoot jpeg + raw so this size really works out well for me.
The speed is not bad and it downloads fairly quickly.
from Katy, TX on 3/26/2007
I've used Kingston flash cards with previous cameras and they have always performed in an excellent manner. I have never had a problem with their products!
from Bay Area, CA on 2/17/2007
I use this card in my Minolta A200 without any problems. It's not the fastest card, but it is plenty fast for me. I have never had to wait for a write to take a picture. [...]
from Undisclosed, NM on 2/16/2007
I've used Kingston cards for years and never had a problem. This card is plenty fast for the Canon 30D and any other camera for that fact. Transfer speeds using a card reader are great too. You can't go wrong with this card. Others say for a "Con" that it is bulky. It is the same size as any other CF card so I don't understand the negative rating on that one.
from new york on 2/13/2007
this product is very good
from Delaware,USA on 2/13/2007
Good CF Card worked great on my Rebel XT and EOS20D. But REBEL XT counter is only upto 999 and this card can hold more than 999 and so you would not know how many pictures are there in the card.Not a problem though.
from Los Angeles, CA on 2/12/2007
I tested its speed with IO testing software, the actual speed is even faster that it has stated. I usually pick CF cards from different companies, with lifetime warranty and high speed, you can't go wrong with this one. (BTW, it is not extreme speed, but fast enough for most of the cameras by the date of 02/12/2007)
from Davao, Philippines on 2/12/2007
love the memory size...
from psringfield il on 2/12/2007
pretty good
from Dallas,TX on 2/12/2007
High performance and low price
from Everett,Ma on 2/12/2007
Kingston Memory has been around for a long time and I use it for my computer's and for my cameras
