Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 16 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

I used to have other memory card from another brand and it used to damage my pictures, some times 3 or even 4 in a roll! I'm a semipro photographer and cover lots of weddings and I could not afford the chance of loosing the greatest moments such as the "I do kiss".

Now, I can work in peace knowing that my new Kingston Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card won't fail me and to my clients and their special moments.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 16 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

Tested this card before using, all looked good. I used it for a wedding reception, and to my horror the first 30 or so shots were missing! Never happened to me before. I was ultimately able to recover the lost images using a terrific bit of software called CardRecovery. I'm hesitant to use this card again for the obvious reason. Also, when you have to try to recover data, it would be much easier with a smaller capacity card. There is something to be said for not having all your eggs (or photos) in one basket.

Here's one of the recovered images

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 16 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

I had bought a kingston 4g card a while back, had a problem with one of my computers reading it. Called their tech people, the problem had to do with them using a different supplier for some internal component the was not compatible with older commuter. They not only sent me a 8g card as a replacement, but also sent me their $30 card reader free so I could use the card with my computer.
Now that's what customer support should be. Get product, great customer support. Obviously they have me as a customer for life.

I use it for shoots that do not require a super fast card. Which is most of the time. I am not a sports or nature photographer so for landscape and portraits it is perfect and economical.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 16 GB, 133x Elite Pro Compact Flash Memory Card:

I am not satisfied with this CF card. Unfortunately, I bought two. The card reads so slowly that it slows my speedy camera (Nikon D3) to a crawl. I thought it was the camera and so tried it on a Nikon D300s with the same results. It ties the camera up and limits how fast one can take pictures, not what I expected from a 133x card. Now I don't know what to do with the card. [...] I am not pleased.

No issues with my D200 - sure it writes/reads slow, but more a function of my D200 than the card; works well, and I have a pair of 16GB CF cards for all my use. At less than $30, a great buy!

Good price for 16GB, but slow. I have a generic 60x CF card that writes faster. I've only used once so far. Other than being slow, worked great. I would recomend as long you don't expect the speed promised.

Great price for 16GB. Ordered two, sending two back. Installed in my Canon 1D Mark3. Seemed slow to format. Started testings them at high frame rates. After about 2gigs of shots, the camera was unable to display photo on LCD. Trying to review earlier shots cause the camera to lock up. Had to remove the battery to restart.

This happend to both cards I purchased.
