Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 32 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

I use this card with a Canon 5D mark II. At the largest raw setting I get just over 1200 images. It reads and writes very fast and is 100% reliable. It is the best value I have found for a memory card.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 32 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

This 32GB 133x Kingston have it's good and bad.

I'll start with the bad: The card's initial start time is very slow compare to smaller size CF cards (8gb, 16gb). It means when you put the cf card in your camera slot, the camera would take at least 5-7 seconds to initialize with the memory card (CF indicator on and camera freezes for about 5-7 seconds) The card is also very slow if formated in-camera. It takes around 10 seconds to format the card in camera, even though what the camera do is just a quick format(smaller size CF cards would do this in 0.5-1.5 seconds).
Sometimes the preview would also take a bit longer to come up when used with this CF card.

The good side: write and read speed on this card is very good, almost as fast as sandisk extreme iii when I was downloading images and doing writing tests to the card. CF cards are in general very reliable and rarely breaks.

The card was tested on both a Nikon D70 and D700 cameras.

I would recommend it for non-critical work where timing and slow startup time is not an issue. For professional works, I'd stay away from it and choose Sandisk or Lexar instead.

I am a student photographer and a assistant wedding photographer. I use this cf card in my Canon 5d mark II. I use it for weddings and at school. It really is a great deal. At my largest raw file setting I get over a 1000's images. It downloades fast and so far is very reliable.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 32 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

I shoot a lot of concerts which include tons of crowd shots and this saved my butt on one occasion already. Had it loaded in the camera, but forgot the rest of the cards at home. If this had happened with one of my 2GB cards, I would've been toast. Imagine having in your camera what we used to consider a large hard drive not all that many years ago. Writes fast, reads fast.

Canon 5D Mark II usage

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 32 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

Works well with Canon 5d MII. However, can not simultaneously shoot HD video and shoot a full still RAW. The processing meter on the right side of the LCD screen will beginning indicating that it is processing and then it will reach maximum transfer rate and the video will freeze and end recording.

Everything else seems to work. I will not be using the feature above, so this card works great for me. In continuous RAW shooting it will shoot 13 shots then it will take about 10-13 seconds to process. Transfer rate is fast from camera to computer.

Its priced very well.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 32 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

Works very well with Canon 5D MKII. Fast enough to keep up with my style of shooting. Holds close to 1000 pics using the highest quality setting (Raw+L)

Now I can do a whole photo shoot without having to stop and switch cards.
