Kingston cards have problem with cross-compatibility
There are a number of people leaving raving reviews here about Kingston memory cards, and I'm sure that their experience justifies their opinions. But my own experience has been very different.I bought a couple of motion-activated trail cameras and bought several Kingston SD cards for them. I also bought a security camcorder (the type with a video recorder built into a clock) for a mountain cabin I have that occasionally gets broken into. I decided on Kingston memory cards for both based on so many favorable reviews of their SD cards on Amazon. But neither the trail cameras nor the security camcorder were compatible at all with the Kingston cards. The cameras wouldn't power up in the manner that the user manuals said they would, I couldn't access any of the menu screens, the recordings from the security camcorder locked up my PC, and none of the set-up buttons worked. Things were just generally screwed up, and I wondered if everything I had received was defective.I called the various manufacturers and they said that they also had experienced trouble with certain "offbrand" makes of SD cards. I asked them what they had used for development of their product, and they said SanDisk. I had never heard that Kingston was considered an offbrand, but I decided to experiment using a SanDisk SD card (specifically the Ultra II), and all the cameras then worked beautifully. Perhaps SanDisk adheres more closely to guidelines for cross-compatibility between digital devices, but that was a lesson for me. No more Kingston cards - at any price

Like the Corners of My Mind
I purchased one of these to store pictures for the Canon Powershot A610 5MP Digital Camera. That camera comes with a paltry 16 MB SD memory card which held about 10 or 12 pictures. Whether you're getting a camera or other electronics purchase requiring memory storage) for yourself or others, you might want to consider including an adequate memory device right fron the beginning. I've had no problems so far with the Kingston, it has a number of excellent features detailed above, and is fast enough for my purposes, and is very reasonably priced. For beginners without demands fo larger or faster memory systems, this is an inexpensive good bet. Amazon sells it much cheaper than the big discount electronic stores, such as the one in California that starts with an "F." That store sold it for far more money, it took me 25 minutes to find the memory section, and then they didn't even have one of these.

It's ok
This is a good memory card. Works well, I recieved it in a timely manner. The only thing to think about is, 512 MB is not a whole lot of space. Especially if, like me, you have a digital SLR camera. Just consider it. Almost double the space (1 GB) doesn't cost much more. I would even suggest 2 GB if you're really into photography.For a point and shoot camera, on my Kodak Easyshare Z760, I got approximately 300 pictures. Which isn't bad for general photography. Just consider going up a bit and spending a little more. It'll be worth it later.

Works fine in my MP3 player and for file transfer
No problems, over the last two months, works like a champ. Kind of mad that the standard for everything is shifting towards SD, because I like the extra storage capacity of CF and it seems a little sturdier to me. I used to buy Crucial or SanDisk, but now Kingston is all I own. I've had no problems with the other Kingston chips (CF) that I've had for the past year and they all seem more than fast enough to keep up with my other portable devices.

Great card, great price!
I got this card for my Canon PowerShot SD700 IS digital camera. I was nervous given the low price, but the card works great. It is fast enough to keep up with the camera in burst mode.At my camera's highest resolution (6 megapixels) the card holds 180 pictures in superfine (highest quality) mode; 300 in fine mode. More than enough for me.And you can't beat the price!

Perfect photo storage
I bought this memory card to use with my Kodak 5.0 megapixel DX4590 Easyshare camera. It worked perfectly right out of the box! I used it in Cabo San Lucas and will be using it in Kauai next. I had used two 128 mb cards previously and filled them BOTH quickly with the 5.0 settings on the camera. I took well over 200 pictures and still had plenty of room with this card. For the price, this is the best deal I ever made.

Faster than I expected
This card replaced my old Palm 128mb SD card, and was I ever suprised at the speed difference. I store the data for most of my palm apps on the SD card, and now that data loads much faster.I know that Kingston doesn't call this a high-speed card, but the performance on my Palm Tungsten /E is much better than I expected.
