Questions & Answers

Shopper : will this work with a nikon d200?DON F : Yes, should work well with Nikon D200.SHARON G : It's a compact flash card so if that camera uses compact flash, no reason it shouldn't. I have Canon so can't tell you about Nikon.GARY K : It would seem like it should.
Pat W : Is this card compatible with the E-10 Olympus, and does it need to be set up in any way to work?GORDON L : I plugged into my Nikon, formatted it and have had no issues whatsoever. It has been a great card.PRADIP K : Short Answer : 90% NO, 10% May be. I don't think it will work by default. At least a firmware update needed. Considering E-10 is a pre-historic camera, you may not get firmware support for this. I would buy a 2GB slowest CF card for that camera.KATHY K : I would contact Lexar for the answer to your questions.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DAVID S : One can never have too much memory.BOB B : Lexar is great brand and you just can't have too many memory cardsSTEVE H : Inexpensive and reliable.RICHARD L : As noted above, I have found Lexrar cards to be very reliable and good value.DENNIS L : Fast and dependable!DANIEL S : You think that 4 GB is enough and then you discover RAW. Eventually I bought even more memory.FRANK V : Faster than the Kingston cards I had been using. More reliable.RONALDO A : Good product for a good price.RICHARD T : dependable

Fast card, low price

Got these cards on sale, and they are fast enough to handle 8 FPS and not clog up.

Good card, good price

I've been using these cards to shoot sports on my D2H. It is fast enough to keep up with rapid fire 8 FPS sequences without choking the buffer, and has so far been reliable enough to work without data loss.

Works fine, priced right

It's a memory card. There's not much to say about it other than that it works well. This is my second Lexar Platinum II 8GB card. They just work. I've had trouble in one of my cameras with a couple of CF cards of another brand, so I switched to Lexar and all is well.

Does the job

As expected, I've had no problems with the card. Read speed from the camera is fine. I can take 65 shot with my Canon 40D without a problem, but that might be due to the large buffer within the camera. Download speed onto my computer is comparable to other make cards. No real difference except the Lexar was about $10n cheaper.

Fast card, good price

This card is currently in use with my Nikon D2H, and handles 8 frames per second with scarcely a hiccup. Yes, there are even faster cards out there, but this hits the price/performance sweet spot nicely.

not as fast as it needs to be for events

I am an event photog - everything I do is fast-paced. I have noticed no notable delays in write speed because I arely shoot in CH, but review time (delay between hitting the play button and when the images pops on the screen) is noticable. This now a backup vs primary card for me. No other compaints.

Nine Months of Flawless Performance So F

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.

Lightning fast 200x!

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!

Reliable memory card.

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.

Too slow for me

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.

Great Product

Have used them in a variety of cameras and never had a failure or lost a picture. The fast high capacity card are pricey.

Like all Lexar memory cards it works just fine, and was priced very reasonable compared to San Disk.

Works Great!

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!

Very Fast Lexar SD 8 Gig Chip

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.

Fast enough, reliable

Card writes and reads fast enough. Unless you are a high speed action photographer, this is a great value. Scenics,Landscape and portrait/wedding photography is easily accomplished with this card. Capacity is sufficient, even in RAW. Great price for a nice extra card.
