80x 1GB SD Card

Strengths: Fast

Weakness: none

This is a very fast SD card and for the price, you cannot beat this one. I have not had any problem with using this in my PC and Palmone Treo 650 Smartphone.

Transcend 80x 1GB SD Card

Strengths: Fast. Large capacity. Decent price.

Weakness: None.

Overall this is a great card. It is fast, has a large capacity, and is a great value. I also have a 60x 1GB SD card by ATP. Although it is not really a weakness, the Transcend card is not waterproof or weatherproof (and virtually indestructible) like the ATP card is. But the Transcend card is faster (80x vs. 60x) and cheaper (about $10 less). I would recommend this card because of its speed and...

Best SD card

Strengths: Fast and inexpensive

Weakness: none

I bought this card to use it in my digital video camera (Samsung SCD107) and it is perfect. The huge capacity and the speed are awesome. Transcend is a very nice brand with good products and best prices. I have one flash drive from them and I'm very happy. If I need another SD card for a gadget I'll buy this one again for sure.

A Good Value

Strengths: Fast and inexpensive

Weakness: Five years warranty is weak.

It's rated 80X. But in my informal test it's not faster than 66X Ridata card of the same capacity. As long as it works, I really don't care that much.

Review on Transcend 1GB 80X Speed SD Card

Strengths: Faster writing speed than other brand SD card

Weakness: the reading speed is not as fast as specified on the manual

Get the card from Newegg. I use a hi-speed USB 2.0 card reader to test the performance, the testing software is ATTO Disk Benchmark. The writing speed is about 7MB/Sec which is faster than most other brand SD card, but the writing speed is only 8MB/Sec, 20% less than the speed specified on the manual, which supposed to be 10MB/Sec. But I still recommend this card.

Awsome Card

Strengths: Fast and low priced

Weakness: none as of yet

I just received the card and tested it in my Nikon 3700. The camera saves images in half the time compared to a 512 meg 12x card. The 12x card writes in about 3 seconds while this card can do the same work in 1.5.

1GB 80x Transcend

Strengths: Best Price and works great...

Weakness: None noted with the card, but the plastic case is pretty much the same as a PNY case but the card doesn’t snap in place and will fall out when case is opened - so be careful

I have used with Nikon coolpix 3200 and 5900 and had no problems with either camera. Picture count on the 3200 is 999+ and 790 on the 5900 normal setting. I'm not sure my camera is able to take advantage of the faster speeds, but I like $$$ saving and no rebate to deal with...

FAST CARD cheap price

Strengths: Great transfer rates (assuming you are using a USB2 interface)

Weakness: None

This card is really fast but there are a few things you should consider before laying out for this card. The high speed card gains are only noticable when you have a camera shooting in burst mode, and when you are transfering pictures off the card into your computer while using a USB2 device and USB2 capable computer interface. The 'regular' speed versions of this card are usually $10-15 cheaper,...

Fast and reliable memory

Strengths: Fast write speed, large capacity and great warranty

Weakness: none found

Using on CoolPix 7900 and pictures are stored instantly, no time spent waiting for 7.1 megapixels of pictures storing. I also have taken 30 frame per second video on this camera and the memory has recorded it just as fast as it was taken. Overall this memory is very fast and with such a large size I don't need to offload pictures or video clips for a while. Would recommend this memory to...

Transcend 1GB 80X SD Card

Strengths: Very fast

Weakness: None

I've been using this card for couple months on my Canon Digital Powershot SD400 and I can say that this card is very fast. Even though it's not a brand name like Sandisk or Lexar, the quality and price of this card are unmatched.
