Good CF card

I bought this card for my new digital camera and I have had it for a month or so. I have not had any problems with it, it was fairly cheap, and the speed seems to be fine. I reccomend it for anything except recording full 640x480 video at 30 FPS, because since this isn't a high speed card, when I tried to record at that quality and resolution, I only got about 15 or 20 seconds of movie recording time before the card got too slow. Other than that, I like this card and reccomend it

Some Devices Don't Support Large Capacity Cards

Check what size cards your device supports before you buy a large CF card.

We have a camera, an MP3 player, and an eBook that support CF. Not all devices support the larger cards. A large card must be formatted with the FAT32 filesystem, which not all devices support.

Other devices have other limitations. Our camera, for instance, works well with a 256MB, freshly formatted card, until it takes a certain number of pictures, after which it cannot access the card and displays an error. There is nothing wrong with the card, and the pictures are still on it. The manufacture publishes only a list of tested cards. They will not say what the card size or picture count limts are.

Again, check what size cards your device supports before you buy one of the large CF cards.

Viking CF512M 512 MB CompactFlash Card

I used this on a Canon S1 IS and it performed flawlessly. Even the video mode at Super Fine 640 x 480 recording didn't skip a beat. I suspect most people don't format the Compact Flash to their camera, DO IT and you shouldn't have any difficulty. As fast a compact flash as I need.

How many pictures will it store?

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Viking CF512M 512MB CompactFlash Card, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.
