from Denton, Texas on 6/28/2008
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.
from SoCal on 6/26/2008
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.
from madison, wi on 6/12/2008
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
from Louisville, KY on 5/24/2008
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.
from Utah on 5/8/2008
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!
from Antioch, ca. on 4/24/2008
fast write time,I use it in my nikon D80.
from Antioch, ca. on 4/17/2008
Very fast write time, good card for a hobbyist.
from East Bay, California on 4/16/2008
I have always been careful about putting all my pictures in one card especially when we are doing weddings. But ever since I've used the Lexar 4gb 133x professional card, I have never experienced any card crash... compared to a different brand card. Lexars are very dependable!
from Philadelphia, PA on 4/16/2008
I an owner of canon XT, almost three years old, the card is an upgrade to Sandisk ultra II 1GB (imagine how expesive was 4g of that speed back then). So buffer of the camera is still much slower that the card, there is no way I can complain.
But... I used it also with canon 30d, did around 1000 wedding photos, still impressed by the speed and efficiency.
So far I can trust Lexar and Sandisk, I hope to stick to that longer (some companies go less and less reliable over time :)
from Dallas, TX on 4/2/2008
I use Lexar cards exclusively for all my photography. I have 4-4GB cards and have never had even one card fail. In all, I have owned about 20 different Lexar cards over the past 15 years. Still have every one of them!

from Houston Tx on 3/20/2008
Good card ( used in both 1d Mark III abd 1DS Mark III) but no notable difference vs comparable Sandisk card. IF the price is more than Sandisk I see no reason to pay extra.
from Kansas on 2/21/2008
I've taken it to the desert and to the cloud forests of Costa Rica and never a problem, always reliable.
from Kuwait on 2/21/2008
I use it with 3 different cameras
from Ohio on 2/21/2008
Top Notch Product
from Burbank, Ca. on 2/21/2008
Fast and very reliable
from Seattle, WA on 1/22/2008
I use the Lexar card as a professional photojournalist. I recently shot just under 4000 photos on a week-long assignment and the Lexar card was used over and over again. It is fast and dependable and the 4GB allows me plenty of room to shoot large files on one card so I don't have to continually change my flash cards.

Lexar cards may cost a bit more than some other brands, but are well worth the small extra cost. Unlike less expensive (and some more costly) CF cards, my Lexar cards have never failed me.

from Wash DC on 9/26/2007
I only use Lexar media; very high quality, dependable and fast
I highly recommend this compact flash. Huge memory capacity and works great!
from Brooklyn, NY on 7/13/2007
I recommend that you read your owners manuel on your camera write speed. This card is fast. My canon 10d cant keep up with it. I thought the card was broken/damaged-but it wasent. My 10d was slowing it down.
I'm thinking about upgrading my camera cause of this. In am now spoiled.
I dont shot RAW, so this card will give ya Mega Storage for your pics.
1500pic's at the highest setting ! WOW !
from Dallas, TX on 7/10/2007
As a professional photographer, dependable performance in a memory card is of utmost importance. I can always count on Lexar to deliver.
from Walnut Creek, CA on 7/10/2007
This higher capacity card works just as well and is as reliable as the other smaller capacity Lexar cards that I regularly use.
I have trusted and have never been disappointed with Lexar products and this card only solidifies Lexar's reputation with me.
from Portland, OR on 7/10/2007
Had troubles with another brands 4Gb card in my Max7D so tried the Lexar. Haven't had even one read/write error in 2 months of almost constant usage when the other started acting up within just a couple of uses. Highly recommend this card if your looking for added capacity for your 7D.
from Columbia, SC on 6/22/2007
Just prior to leaving on a scheduled vacation, I noticed that some of my memory cards were not performing up to standards. I was both concerned about using them and possibly losing all images captured on them or being short on memory for the expected vacation pictures. I purchased one of these Lexar 4GB cards because of the quality, capacity and price. An added bonus was the Corel Paint Shop Pro 9 software that came with the card. As expected, the Lexar card performed perfectly and I have been very pleased with the purchase.
from Flower Mound, Texas on 5/17/2007
No complaints [...]
from Harrisburg, PA on 5/11/2007
I haven't managed to fill this card up yet during a single shoot, but it's not for lack of trying, and it will happen soon. As a nature photographer, write speed is important, and this CF from Lexar lives up to it's speed promise. I am venturing into sports photography next and expect the write speeds I've experienced so far will be even more important to me then.
from Huntsville, AL on 5/9/2007
Same great quality as previous "Lexar Professional" CF - WA cards only larger and faster!
from Nashville, TN on 5/9/2007
Since purchasing my first digital camera for a trip to Russia in 2002, I have only owned Lexar memory cards. The most important thing I can say is - in taking thousands of pictures I have never lost an image!
This newest addition from Lexar was purchased in response to needing a larger memory card, since most of my images are captured in RAW format. In addition, I needed a fast enough write speed to quickly capture several shots in sequence.
If your pictures are as important to you as mine are to me, then this is the card I would encourage you to buy.
from Boonville, Indiana on 5/9/2007
Being a freelance photographer, I mainly shoot sports and wildlife in the Raw format.The Lexar Professional, 133x, with write acceleration, smokes! No longer do I wait on the "Busy" message and miss a good shot. Two thumbs up to Lexar for another great product.
from Dayton, OH on 5/9/2007
As always, Lexar CF cards are the best. I have used them for years and they just keep getting faster with more capacity. Recommended!
from atlanta ga on 5/9/2007
Has become everday walkabout storage device.
Very quick response. Best card I have ever used.
from Brookline, MA on 5/9/2007
My first 256MB card cost at least 4X what the Lexar 4GB card costs today -- for 16 times more storage. The Lexar card feels like a bargain and it's fast and holds over 400 8-10MB RAW files from my Canon 20D.
from Philadelphia, PA on 5/8/2007
Lexar name says it all.
from Hampton, VA on 5/8/2007
I have used this product with both my Nikon D200 and Nikon D70. This compact flash has been very reliable for all aspects of photography.
from New Hampshire on 5/8/2007
Lexar makes a great product and this card with its blazing fast write speed is the top of the line. The image rescue software bundled on the card is great - although I've never had to use it on a Lexar card!
from Silver Spring, Md on 5/8/2007
I like that I don't have to reload cf cards as much when photographing weddings. It has been a reliable product for me and I would recommend it.
from West Jordan, UT on 5/8/2007
Perfect for raw images
from Chicago, IL on 5/8/2007
I have read several reviews for this card. While other cards may perform better than this card, The price/performance ratio with the rebate can not be beaten. I have to shoot in RAW format for school so I have taken a few thousand shots but I have yet to experience any problems with write delays or other errors due to image file corruption. I would highly recommend this product.
from Sweetwater, Fl on 5/8/2007
The Card meets my expectations, I used in my D-200 and is excellent for everything all the time, is a very good and a fast Card.
from Scottsdale, AZ on 5/8/2007
Very fast in burst speed transfer in camera. Great transfer speed from my card reader to the computer.
from Lee's Summit, Mo on 5/8/2007
This thing is fast. I was taking 10 meg RAW images at 5 per second all afternoon. No problems!
from Yorba Linda, CA on 5/8/2007
I have 4 cards now and all Lexar. I have never lost an image. Did have to purchase a new card reader as the newer cards are not compatable with the older Lexar card reader.
from Tennessee on 5/8/2007
I don't worry about this Compact Flash Memory Card, it just works well.
from Los Angeles, CA on 5/8/2007
Works perfectly from the start
from Greensboro, NC on 5/8/2007
Very pleased with the product. Met my expectations.
from Roaring Spring Pa. on 5/8/2007
Great storage capacity, fast, fast speed, and the best quality period. You can't beat this product. I have 4 Lexar 1 gig's and now this monster 4 gig. It's awesome. I also have another big name brand 256 mb. which is ok. but not near as good in my book. I'll stick with Lexar. It has everything a pro or prosumer needs.

The Lexar 4 GB card with the 133 speed is an excellent product,, works real fast and has plenty of storage for as many pictures as you can possibly take..
from Valdosta, GA on 5/8/2007
Terrific card! Enough storage to hold all the RAW I'd take on a normal day. Not so much that I'd worry about all the pics being on one card (and being a Lexar card, that's not much of a worry!)
from Dallas TX on 5/8/2007
Bought three of them and one of them is a troublesome little guy. Slow to write and slow to transfer.
from California on 5/8/2007
Lexar Professional cards have served me well. Customer service has been first class. You will see comments about every brand of memory card failing for someone. The question is, will the manufacturer stand behind them? Lexar will, without question. Remember - always format your cards in the camera, and use a product like Image Rescue that comes with the Lexar cards to secure erase and test all your cards on a regular basis.
from Crofton, MD on 5/8/2007
The size/price ratio was especially attractive with Lexar's current rebate program, but boy was I disappointed to discover how SLOW this card really is. To my own fault, I did know the WA (133x) technology is not compatible with my Canon 10D, but I at least expected it would be as fast as my Sandisk Ultra II 2GB CF card. I have always told my friends it's better to get a handful of 1GB cards than to have one huge one in the off chance of failure, but now I am really having buyer's remorse. For a 6-7MB Raw file to be reviewed it takes around 6-10 seconds to see full-res on my LCD; if you want to review multiple picutures... forget it! It takes at least 5 seconds to review the next picture on a card. Maybe when I upgrade to a newer DSLR, I will get my money's worth, but for now I will stick with my trusty ol' Sandisk for everything I can get away with.
from Great Falls, Montana on 5/8/2007
Never any problems, PLUS their technical support is super.
from Ea. SF Bay Area, CA. on 5/8/2007
Lexar never stops amazing me; [...]. Copious amts of storage for you RAW nuts like me, typical Lexar quality at a bargain price (w/rebate). Don't think twice- just buy one.. buy a few at THIS price!
from Philadelphia, PA on 5/8/2007
Never a problem. Super reliable. The pnly brand I buy.
from Fletcher, NC on 5/8/2007
the price was right and it fulfilled the need
from Los Angeles CA on 5/8/2007
This allows me to take almost 500 pictures in the best quality setting. I am heading for Moab Utah with it, and then Alaska next month, and then Montana to shoot wild animals and wildflowers.
from El Dorado, CA on 5/8/2007
Great deal on a 4gb 133x card. After rebate it was [$]. After using it for a shoot after taking it out of the box and formattting and taking a couple of test pictures, it work flawlessly over the weekend event. No complaints. I would recommend it in a second. I use both Sandisk and Lexar and haven't had any problems with either. I shoot primarily action using a Nikon D2h and D2hs.
from Westminster, California on 5/8/2007
No problem at all.

I have 10 Lexar's CF cards in use and all have NOT failed me.
Mine died after four months of occasional use while on a weekend break. I'll stick with San Disk in future.
from South Dakota on 2/12/2007
Has been working great with no problems.
from brooklyn on 2/12/2007
I have tried others like SA*DISK, rid*ta, but C
rucial and Lexar are by far the best
Lexar makes great cards - the 133X professional card meets every digital memorty card need for speed, durability, ease of handling, and security - a perfect card for a compact falsh card application
from Long Island, New York on 2/5/2007
I use 5 Lexar 4GB 133X?s. 1 in camera and 4 in the[...] aluminum case. SKU-ICDCSC. With my Nikon D200 @10 meg. Shooting in RAW, each card holds about 240 shots. I can shoot an affair and know that I?ve got 1200 pics before I have to down load onto my laptop. For that I use the Lexar high speed card reader. I keep the case in my back pocket. I can move around freely. As I place filled cards in the case, I turn them over so I know which ones I?ve used.Great product.
from Surfside, Florida on 2/5/2007
Since photography is my hobby, I always try to get reliable equipment for my use. I travel frequently and these Lexar Memory Cards (I have two, 4GB)has been an asset to my equipment. What a blessing since I never have to worry about anything.

The Nikon D200 is a memory hog...4 gig is the minimum for shooters using RAW/NEF
