Used at my daughter's wedding on my Nikon D200 and all 500 plus shots were safe and sound.

Happy User.
from Modesto, CA on 9/26/2007
Added this 133x 4GB CF card to my current 1 GB Ultra II. This card is noticeably faster than the Ultra II when transferring photos.

Of all places, this [*] card gives me a CF Card Error on my Canon Rebel XT while I'm on the friggin' Great Wall of China! Luckily (and smartly) I'd been backing up my photos each night even if the card wasn't full. This was after 2 days of flawless performance. All photos on the card were lost. When I reformatted, the card ran very slowly--especially when copying to my laptop. I used other cards (SanDisk Extreme II 2GB) for the rest of the trip and had absolutely no problems. That's the problem with a memory card--if it craps out on you once, you just can't trust again in the future...

great deal especially with the rebates. It is as good as the Lexar cards I used previously. Fast and good quality.
from Dallas, TX on 7/11/2007
It's a good card with very good price. No hassle at all.
from Tulsa, OK on 7/11/2007
This is by far the best buy in a high speed CF card. The rebate was the icing on the cake. I see no difference in performance from a SANDisk, just a whole lot less money.
from St. Louis on 7/10/2007
I have been using Kingston cards for about 2 years now and they have been superb in reliability. I had one issue with a 4gb card freezing up on me so I contacted Kingston and they replaced the card with no problems at all. That is what I call customer service!
from Chicago on 7/10/2007
Never a problem great media for vacation or professional due to large capacity and write speed.
from Western New York on 7/10/2007
The Kingston cards are the fastest largest capacity cards on the market for the cost. You can pay more for cards that are a little faster, but there is no reason to do so. You can also find cheaper cards, but they are not as fast and reliable.
from Rowland Heights, CA on 7/10/2007
It saves images in split second. Well performing memory card.
from Columbus, Ohio on 7/10/2007
Took 2 on European trip. Large capacity and fast write times are very convenient
from London, Ohio on 7/10/2007
I've used this a few times and have found that it is a wonderful product. You can snap away and it writes very fast. Great if you use the continuous shutter release feature on your camera.
from Chadds Ford, PA on 7/10/2007
I have been very pleased with both the capacity and speed. I have been using 2 of these cards with my Nikon D200 with no problems whatsoever. I would recommend them and will likely purchase additional ones.
[...] I took the card with me on my trip to spain. I took 200+ pictures at the bull fight and then the next day while I was shooting at a palace, the card failed. I didnt just lose the images, the whole card died. I spent 4 days trying to recover the images with no luck. Needless to say, i am very dissapointed. That is the price I pay for switching from Sandisk. I wouldnt trust Kingston with my pictures ever again. Kingston is great though. They sent me an RMA extremely fast, which I returned and they ended up reimbursing me for the card I bought from [...]. Props to Kingston, but I just dont feel comfortable with thier cards now.
from Silver Spring, Maryland on 5/21/2007
Nice card for the money. Reliable product and good capacity at 10.2 mega pixels in a Nikon D200.Worked well for the wedding event I covered this weekend [...]
from NJ on 5/11/2007
I've been using 3 2GB Elite Pro cards in my 20D for a while now and grabbed one of these last month. I'm not sure it's any faster than the Elite Pro, but having a 4GB card means I can do a short photo session on the one card (I shoot Raw+LF jpeg). I've compared the Elite Pro to a Sandisk Ultra II and they're about even, with maybe 1-2 more shots (out of 35 or so) in LF jpeg mode before the buffer fills completely.
from Virginia on 5/9/2007
Works !!!!
from Chambersburg, PA on 5/9/2007
Since I have only had this for a couple weeks, I have only used it a few times, but it has already served me well. As an owner of Kingston CF cards in the past, I expected that this product would be good, and it is. I bought this card because I shoot in RAW format and the files are very large. I just shot a wedding this past weekend and it took several hundred pictures with no problems. It seemed to be plenty fast in my Canon Rebel XT camera, and having the included recovery software (though I haven't had to use it) is nice for peace of mind.
from Garland,Tx. on 5/8/2007
Can store alot of large picture files ,when taking pictures in remote areas .
from Florida Keys on 5/8/2007
Very heavy repeat use during destination wedding photography. Lots of clicks, lots of insertions and removals, lots of reformats. Been using four 4G cards for about 5-6 months. No failures, no lost files.
from White Hall Ar on 5/8/2007
[...]
from Vegas, Baby on 5/8/2007
It's a great price & capacity, but the card is so slow it's almost unusable in burst mode on a Canon 5D. Transfer to PC is also VERY slow. Apparently 133x doesn't mean the same thing for Kingston as it does for Sandisk.[...]
from Saco, ME on 3/28/2007
Great quality and price, combined with fast write & read 133x speed. [...]
from Dublin, Ireland on 3/27/2007
Never worry about running out of memory space again.
from Florida on 3/27/2007
Downloads very fast...
from atlanta, ga on 3/27/2007
It holds more RAW pictures than I had expected.
from Plano, TX on 3/26/2007
The Kingston Technology 4 GB, 133x card is very reasonably priced for a higher speed card. Have used this card for last six shoots and not experienced any issues. Also have down loaded to three different readers with no problems. Last shoot was over 400 shots at high resolution, and photos all down loaded quickly.
from Colorado on 3/26/2007
This CF Card has met my expectations. It has a large capacity, and you can't beat the price! It's very fast when transferring photos to the computer, and has been very reliable.
from Fort Myers, Fl. on 2/24/2007
Fast & Reliable with more capacity.
from MA on 2/15/2007
This is the second Kingston cards that I have. So far, I do not encounter any problem yet. I really like this card, it is very fast.
from Melbourne on 2/13/2007
The price and performance is great! I'm getting two more.
from san antonio, tx on 2/13/2007
everything as listed. Even has software to recover data.
from Paxton, Illinois on 2/13/2007
[...] a 4GB 133x was too good to pass up. I can now feel more confident about taking pics in RAW and have enough room for alot of pics.
from Peoria, IL on 2/12/2007
So much room, that my camera doesn't even register I'm getting close to filling it up.
from Lenexa,Ks. on 2/12/2007
works great
from Hawaii on 2/12/2007
Happy with the product. Using it with a Canon 350
from Norman, OK on 2/12/2007
I have enjoyed my card and would recommed it to anyone.
from Central Islip, NY on 2/12/2007
I currently have a 4GB Lexar 133x with Write Acceleration. I used that to compare the Kingtson 133x in my Canon 30D snapping pictures at 5 fps.
Using RAW+JPG mode, both CF cards gave me about 8 or 9 exposures before forcing me to pause. RAW-only mode gave me 2 or 3 extra exposures.
I did notice a difference in two areas. 1) in JPG Large I got about 42 exposures on the Lexar card compared to 35 on the Kingston card, and 2) The Lexar card was ready for more exposures after about a 1 second wait compared to 1.5 seconds for the Kingston.
I didn't time the amount of time it took to completely save the data to the CF card (as opposed to just being ready for more exposures), but it did seem like the red 'save' light turned off a little faster with the Lexar card.
Overall, definately a good buy, especially given the price difference. Under normal usage, I doubt I would notice the difference.
from San Jose, CA on 2/12/2007
[...] could not pass on it, in fact went back a weel later and purchased another one.
from Jonas Ridge, NC on 2/7/2007
This CF card is an ace in my hand. Used in 10 and 12.4 meg cameras particularly in the cold weather of the mountains. It reads better than a librarian and retains info like a Jeopardy winner. Price and specs got my attention, performance and reliability will merit a repeat deal.
from Doylestown, PA on 2/6/2007
Very fast writing and recording card! Highly recommend
from Phoenix, AZ on 2/6/2007
I shoot BMX National races for several teams in the Phoenix area. I found this 133x card [...] for a reasonable price and decided to give it a shot. Boy! Was I impressed! I went from shooting three to five frames of a given race to shooting eight and still had time to get shots of the next race (with Ultra-II's I could get 5 on one race and would be lucky to get 1 or 2 of the next). I shoot with a Canon 1DS Mark I.
from ohio on 2/5/2007
this product is exactly as advertised-very fast and reliable
from Monterey, TN on 2/5/2007
This card is faster than I expected to my surprise.

from Peters Valley Craft Center, NJ on 2/5/2007
With my Canon 20D's, the additional speed doesn't seem to matter during use BUT unloading the card into the computer is significantly faster. I am using my backup card for temporary backups, transfers, kind of like floppies were used for, so many years ago. Much faster than a DVD-RW.
from Coral Springs, FL on 2/5/2007
4GB and not expensive. It worked well (and fast) on my Canon 1DS MarkII. With a couple of these cards and the SDs I will not need to carry a laptop on short trips to download the pictures and clear the cards.
from Ohio/Texas on 1/19/2007
Purchased this card when I got my Sony Alpha DSLR - took 1500 pics before trip to Hawaii, uploaded to computer and erased card then took over 1000 pics in Hawaii and have had no problems. The 4MB size is the max allowed in my camera, so I want to get a duplicate.
