Best Value

Not so many 4GB CF can be worked with my Kodak DCS Pro (Version 5.4.1), but this is. And it is fast, great price.

I've bought before and did again

I've depended on this product during overseas trips that will most likely not happen again and I was totally satisfied.

2nd bad Kingston 4GM card in two months

This card will not format in my camera. An identical one I bought a couple months ago wouldn't format in the camera a few weeks ago. Other brands are working fine. Time to move on to another brand.

For the Price works well

I use this card in the dirty dirt track racing. Hot and cold season. With winter I shot hockey inside and outside. For the orice very good card.

Not one failure in over 3 years

I have 10 of these cards that I've used the last 3 years to capture wedding images for my clients. In those 3 years, I have had zero issues with these cards or any of the other Kingston products we use for our business. I wish I could say something bad or even give some constructive criticism but when a product works like it's supposed to over and over again, what needs to be improved.

It's perfect...

As you are probably aware, this is not the fastest nor highest capacity CF memory out there. However, for the price its performance is unbelievable!! This card rocks!!! If you've got the resources and/or need for the uber-fast high-cap cards, then go for it. But for a semi-pro that sells stock here and there and is not on staff with Nat'l Geo or Time Mag, this card is a very wise investment.

Nice card

This card was an excellent value, and I trust Kingston. It is writing data to the card quickly allowing me to snap off images one after the other without delays.

Failed, Lost all 90 images

I have an EOS 30D. I had used the camera for a previous event with this card with no problem. I was practicing with my camera partial metering function when the error message flashed telling me that here was a aproblem with my card. I went to check all of the stored images and they were gone

Great Cards

I already own 4 of these cards and have never had any problems with any of them. I seem to order 1 every time I make a new order.

Lifetime Warranty That says it all

Anyone worried about reliability obviously doesn't know Kingston - they have always provided lifetime warrantees for all their memory products. That's about all you have to know.

Go with a Sandisk.

I used the card in a Canon 20d and Canon 40d. First one failed, only lost one picture. Kingston sent me a replacement no problem, now the second one is failing. A good warranty will not replace lost pictures. Not worth it.

Good Price

I can't comment on long term performance, but in the relatively short time I've used this card, I've taken lots of pictures, downloaded, erased, and reformatted the card enough times that I can say it performs as expected.

Can't beat the price

133x is fast enough for my 40D and you can't beat the price. I've used kingston memory for a long time in pc's and camera's and never gave me a problem. Good product for an even better price.

Great in the D100

Nikon D100 – A 4 gig card was only a wild dream when my aged D100 was built. This 4 gig Kingston card works like a charm in the D100 and gives me over 400 raw or 1,100 fine jpeg shots. I have experienced absolutely no problems with the card.

Good Value!

I purchased two of these 4gb cards for [$] each. I have used both cards in my Sony a700. I've always used Sony and Sandisk brands, but the cost of these cards was too good to pass up. So far they have worked great in both my camera and my computer. The read and write times have been good (as expected for this speed of card). They both work as good as my Sony card with the same read and write speed.

Great value!

Great product and great value compared to some pricier name-brand products. I've not had any problems, the card is fast, and I've shot and downloaded thousands of photos from my first Kingston 4G memory card. I'm currently using this with a Sony A700 which can gobble up memory in high quality JPEG settings. I have not used this card with RAW settings.

Great Compact Flash Card

I use Kingston Compact flash cards exclusively when shooting portraits and weddings. I've never had a problem with the cards (I have at least 8 of them). That hasn't always been the case with other makes. When your shooting professionally you want a card that you can trust. To this point Kingston has always delivered.

Great card. I will be buying many more

I used two of these cards for a wedding and had no problems. Never had to wait for the card to catch up writing the data. I will be buying many more of these before I shoot my next wedding. Excellent product and way cheaper than the other brands. I prefer this to the Sandisk cards that I've used.

No problems and a good price.

I've used two of these cards with Canon cameras for over 9 months with no problems. I have had none of the problems others have mentioned. Noticeably faster than my Sandisk Ultra IIs.

avoid this one

Thank god I read a review about the unreliability of the kingston 4GB card before I shot my last wedding. I immediately ordered a new Sandisk card and used the Kingston in one of my back-up cameras. I took about 60 shots with that camera during the wedding and was able to view them in the camera but when I went to download them into my computer everything was gone. Thank god I used the sandisk for my main camera. I have been shooting weddings for approx 15 years and I came very close to having to tell the bride that I didn't have any picures for her for the first time. I sure hope I can make it to the end of my career without having a memory meltdown! The kingston card is now in the trash where it belongs.

Imaging pros expect a lot from their equipment and can't afford to have a component limit their productivity or creativity. That's where Kingston's CompactFlash Elite ProTM memory cards come in. They're designed specifically to help advanced amateur or professional photographers get the best performance from their high-end imaging devices and applications.

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.
