A Practical Back-up CF Card

I purchased this CF card for use with my Nikon D700. Obviously it has a slow-write speed, but it has saved my behind on a few occasions when other cards were full, although awaiting a preview of the shot is time consuming. If you shoot HDR, you're gonna be standing there for awhile.

Kingston Technology 16 GB

I use these in a Nikon D300 and they work great. They write faster than the buffer in the camera so they are perfect for every day use or work.

Great Reliable Card for 5DmkII

This a great card for the money. I shoot in 100% RAW and the 16GB holds more than enough frames for almost all of my shoots. It's also fast enough to handle the HD video function of my camera. Since the price is relatively dirt cheap, it gives me the option to keep a few cards.

Holds Alot

This is my primary card and I have been using it for over a year now. Have taken thousands of shots with it. I shoot RAW and it holds alot of data. It isn't the fastest card (compared to the ones out now), but I have never had an issue with it, and it has been extremely reliable.

Just what I need when on safari.

Great for the hundreds of photos I take each gamedrive while on safari. Plenty of space to hold all the shots until we can download to the laptop when we get back to camp.

Wonderful

I use these with my Nikon D300s, and before that my D300 and D200. I have been using Kingston for 5 years, and never lost an image.

So happy with my 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. Andy A.S.

Let me down

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.

Great CF card...Great Price

This works great with my 5D mkII and my 50D. I have not had a single problem with it. The price and the Kingston lifetime warranty is awesome. I think anyone needing a CF card should not pass this one up.

Best CF card and best tech support

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.

Does exactly what is says on the package

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.

Not satisfactory

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.

Reliable, works well, no issues D200

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!

Great value

Bought this card for my Canon 40D and it's worked like a charm - no issues. I'm sure I haven't even come close to it's capacity, and for the price I'd be happy to buy another one if I ever felt I needed more space!

Too bad I didn't order two

This card works fine on my 1d mark 3. Formatted quickly. Max burst rate is very fast. You can't beat the price. Only time will tell if is a true bargain,

Kingston 16GB 133x is an Excellent Card

The Kingston 16g 133x works Excellent on my Alpha A700 - I shoot triathlon competitions in jpeg since I need a fast turn around for the images. The card works awesome at 5 fps on my Alpha. I highly recommend this card.

Very slow. Good price

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.

good card

I use it in my canon 5d, I think I had to do a firmware update to get it to format and recognize the size right, but other than that, the card has been great, 20000+ RAW photos later it's still going.

No matter how fast you work, the Elite Pro can keep pace with its ultra-fast transfer rates. With up to 32GB capacity* means you can capture more continuous,high-resolution images in less time with the Elite Pro than with traditional CompactFlash memory cards.

When it's time to transfer your largest files, watch them fly - your production workflow will be more efficient than ever. Kingston'sType II PC card adapter or our CF readers (see optional accessories) can expand your capabilities further, allowing full use of a computer's USB or parallel ports.

When you purchase a Kingston CompactFlash Elite Pro memory card, you're not justgetting great Flash memory performance. The Kingston name means you can count onour products to perform when it matters most.
