CompactFlash (CF) Memory Card - 4GB = £16.99

I am a self-confessed memory snob and only trust the big brands but that is a seriously cheap price. Please review once received hypnotic.

Kingston is a huge brand. They did most if not all the RDRAM sticks for the first P4's. I even used their overclockers memory in my previous PC.
 
These dont look like Kingston.....they say Viking on them. :shrug:

They SAY "fast" in the blurb....but do they have a speed mentioned on them at all?

This is what the Kingston cards look like: here

Still, a good price for more memory.........and like you say.........you can never have enough memory.... was that what you said? I cant remember!!:D :lol:
 
Blimey that is cheap!

You can edit the thread title yourself btw (advanced edit?)
 
I think I might go for those, whatever speed. I never shoot on continuous anyway... great price!:thumbs:
 
Had Viking memory from here B4 and never had issues with them. Still got some but they are only 256k which is not enough is it? :)

...Oh I dunno....... you could get a couple of RAW's on them!! ;) :D
 
I have a Sandisk Ultra II 1Gb card, a 2Gb Dane-Elec and an unbranded Viking 1Gb card.

I cannot tell the difference in speed in any of them!! I use a 20 and even in high speed mode there's hardly any difference.

I might buy one of these.
 
Small print says actual brand may vary but I'm gonna order one anyway, can't really argue at that price.
 
Got 2x 2gb ones of these & there are plenty fast enough for my D200
Great spot & one duly ordered ... Paul :thumbs:
 
Thanks for the heads up. order sent
 
Just ordered 2 at that price, It would be rude not to..:nuts:

Thanks for the heads up hypnotic..:)
 
They are out of stock....
Will have to wait for mine :(
 
Got mine too, mine are Dane-Elec rather than Viking which isn't a problem as I've used Dane-Elec memory in the past. Just tried them in the camera, OK they are not quick I get 4-5 RAW's in a burst before the 350D has to wait for them to download from the buffer to the card, but I knew they would be slow. Other than that they look good to me, I've formatted them several times and tested them in a 350D, 20D & 5D and seemed to work with no problems.
 
The specification of the 350D states a maximum of 2.8fps and 14jpegs or 4 RAW files so your card seems fine.

the faster cards are more suited to the 1d MkIIN with it's 8.5fps burst.
 
Got mine this morning, Dane-Elec also. When I plugged it in the the PC it came up as Toshiba4g09 and a google turned up lots of stuff on german sites but I didn't see anything about the specs. Still I don't often use burst but being able to shoot 1000+ frames in jpeg will be useful for race work so I'm happy :)
 
Mine came this morning also Dane-Elec (comes up Toshiba 4g00 on computer)
a quick test show it to be slightly slower than my sandisk Ultra 2, but nothing to complain about at the price. I will get out this afternoon and see how it performs.
 
I have the danElec 2gb card and it seems fine. Think I paid £23 for it a few months back :(

Works just fine
 
I was just going to buy one of these but can't find any info of max card size for my 300D :(

Anybody got any idea ??
 
I got one and it works on my 300D in RAW I get 641 shots.
 
Found this out on another forum and i recieved a DanElec. Tried it in a canon 20D and 30D and happy with the performance since its a bargain at £17.99 Tempted to order another one :)
 
Already ordered 2 of these and just added another 4Gb and a portable USB card reader..:geek:
 
:clap:




mine came today :thumbs: bargain ..
 
have you got a card reader Allan? Try a format on the PC and then put it back in the camera.

I'm waiting for two of these to come this week :o
 
whatever it'll do yeah, I think it might only let you do a FAT32 format on it anyway.
 
Just ordered a couple of these.. I already have the 1gig version of the one they're showing and that works just fine for me.

Popped a 1gig SD card for the Wii in the basket for less than a fiver as well.

Bargain! :woot:
