Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB, 200x Platinum II High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card:

My Nikon D700 which can shoot 5 fps, but I rarely use that kind of speed. When I do, the card reads and writes fast enough to keep up. Reading from the card in my computer is comfortably quick on my work computer, which is about 2 years old. My home computer, however, is 6-7 years old and painfully slow with this card.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB, 200x Platinum II High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card:

An elite and nice CompactFlash card with pretty good 8GB storage capacity. Pictures from my Olympus Evolt E-520 are saved very fast and without any delays. I would say that this is a good value memory card.

After all it is LEXAR!

I have tried several brands and types of cards in my Minolta D-7 and have settled on these Lexar cards as the most consistent performers and now use
only these.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB, 200x Platinum II High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card:

I was very disappointed with the speed of this card compared to others in the same class (SanDisk, Transcend, and even a Kingston card). Even just inserting the card in the camera took an extra second or two before it was ready to use. Processing in camera after taking a picture took noticeably longer than the cards I mentioned above, even though this Lexar card was supposed to be faster.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB, 200x Platinum II High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card:

I had the opportunity to use this card last weekend at my daughter's gymnastics meet. Shooting large JPEG on my Canon 40D, I was able to get about 16 shots at 6 FPS before the buffer filled, and then it dropped to about 2 FPS. If I had a UDMA capable camera, I'm sure the performance would have been better, but this was much faster than my 133X cards I had been using. I shot over 800 pictures during the meet and still had almost 400 shots remaining on the card. I'm definitely a fan of Lexar!

I am using this chip in a Nikon D200 DSLR. This chip writes fast enough that I haven't been able to stop it during ultra fast continuous shooting. Outstanding card.
