By www.FotoEdge.com from Kansas City on 2/12/2007

Pros: Versatile, Reliable, Rugged

Cons: Slow

Best Uses: Professional Cameras, Upgrade

Describe Yourself: Professional

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

In the camera this card is fast enough for my work. I use it with the Canon 5D and shoot Raw+JPEG. The storage size for the price makes it an excellent value. The only problem is when I put it in the card reader and it takes 10 minutes to download the images when filled. I've tried 3 different card readers but none has made any difference.
