CF133 CompactFlash Memory Card 1GB, Up to 30MB/s, DSLRs Camera Card, MLC NAND Flash, ECC, Support Ultra DMA transfer mode 4 - TS1GCF133

Introduction: I recently purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera. And while I love it the images are huge and my old 8GB cards would only hold around 250 - 260 photos. I got sick and tired of having to swap out cards just when I'm lining up the prefect shot. Review: I received this new Transcend 32GB card yesterday and promptly loaded it into my 5D Mark II, formatted it and headed to the zoo. This card did NOT disappoint! It was so good to see the images remaining counter max out at 999 on my 5D Mark II for the first time. And you can shoot high definition videos and multiple images just like you can on a faster card!! In Camera Speed: My faster cards "Transcend 266X Extreme Speed 8 GB cards" do NOT seem faster in the 5D Mark II then this 32GB 133x card at all. I get the exact same 13 RAW or 52 JPEG's before slowing down in continuous shooting! Now once it slows down of course it's slower, but, I usually only need a burst of 5 to 10 shots to get something anyway. Think about your shooting style and go from there, fast and furious order something faster otherwise this card just might fit the bill. I blazed through the zoo using my normal style of 3 to 5 shots a burst getting over a thousands stills with no noticeable difference in speed and felt the freedom at last to just shoot and shoot. I also recorded an HD video of 14 minutes no problem and a to the limit low res 29 min 59 second video. There is NO hesitation and no difference. Download Computer Speed: I then headed home. And that's where the one weakness reared its head. Downloading to my Mac. It was half the speed of my 266x card when downloading to the computer. But hey I'm at home now and speed is not an issue. I simply start the download, go put away my gear, grab a snack and drink from the kitchen and it's done. Recommendation: If you need a lot more room on your Compact Flash card and are sick and tired of running out of space and download speed isn't an issue this card is for you. I highly recommend especially for Canon 5D Mark II owners. 5-2-2009 Update: I found out there are some situations that this car is not fast enough for after all especially when saving 25 mb raw files in rapid succesion. While great for land scapes or museum and even renaissance festivals it's just not fast enough when the pace really heats up. I recently photographed Hugh Jackman and the cast of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the World Premiere in Tempe AZ and there were moments where I could have gotten some really cool shots that I missed because the card was still writing. On the other hand I'm sure I got some shots I might not have gotten if I had a load of smaller faster cards and was swapping them out. I still love this card especially for landscapes and slow paced photography and will keep it but am now looking for a faster, high capacity brother card to compliment it. [...]

I used this card in conjunction with a Syba Dual Compact Flash CF to 44 Pin IDE adapter on my NEC PC-9821Nr15 laptop that I imported from Japan. If you know how to get it set up, this can be a very convenient way to transfer files without a floppy or CD drive. (Use a tool called CONV98AT to make the card compatible with both the PC-98 and modern computers). For an easy set up, image the YAHDI disk image (which can easily be found by googling) to the card. I partitioned it to have MS-DOS 6.2 and Windows 98SE, and it works like a charm. The speed is adequate, though not super fast by any means. Considering how this laptop can't support hard drives much larger than 4 GB (4.7 GB max, I think), my options for a suitable hard drive replacement were limited. Regardless, this can act as a good hard drive alternative for retro computers. I can't guarantee it'll work on all kinds of retro computers, but I can at least confirm that it works good on newer NEC PC-98 computers. PS: If you install a Windows 9x OS on one of these CF cards, do this tweak to help prolong the lifespan of the card. This helps prevent overuse of the pagefile in Windows, which normally creates excessive writes to the card. With this tweak, the PC will use all of its available RAM before paging. *Open C:\Windows\System.ini in Notepad. *In the [386Enh] section of the file, on a new line type: ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1 (leave a single blank line between the last line in [386Enh] and the next section) *Save the file and Reboot for changes to take effect.

i have been a long time fan of the 5th generation ipod video, but it is far from perfect as is, and the one i have had no problem proving that. i earned an ipod video for labour as it was broken and i had an interest in fixing it. when i got my christmas money, i saw that i had enough to buy all the parts i wanted to for a whole ipod restoration! so i went on buying a battery (here on amazon) screen(ebay) and a u2 editon case kit (ebay) and a few other things. while looking for a new hdd for this ipod, i came across a device that will eliminate the hdd for a cf card and it iwas only $10 on dealextreme,and that by using a cf card, i would never have a disc error again! so after seeing that my hunt for a good, high storage, ata-compatible cf card began, and shortly ended later here on Amazon! who would have imagined that the best price wasn't a cheap chinese copy on ebay and was rather on Amazon, and with a good brand name to boot? i wasnt buying this for a high speed pc's ssd, nor for a dslr high quality camera. it was a way to soup up my ipod, and it worked flawlessly! i like that it uses only brand name NAND flash memory (or so it claims) but i think that any type that worked would suffice for my humble use. this one was only 14.9gb, but hey, who cares? i got what i payed for. and what i payed for was quality on the real cheap. wish they labeled it 15gb tho. would be a more true to spec statement. might as well just move the whole market on to a 15gb,30gb,60gb standard. oh well. not Transends fault. and btw, Transend is truely a fitting name. they really transend expectations with all i have purchased from them. no BS and no nothing. thier stuff has yet to fail me,and if it does, i will post that it has here on this very review, along with the rigors i put it though to do so.

I use the faster 400X and 600X Transcend CF Cards for sports/action photography, but for macros and still studio work, this card shines and does all that is needed. This is a great value for anyone needing a good reliable memory card and who does not need the blazing fast speeds of the 400 and 600X CF Cards. I bought two of these 8 GB cards back in March of 2010 and they've proof to be reliable good performers... and I just bought two more as well as a 32 GB one that I've been using to good effect for just over 5 weeks now. I often have to work two or more flower shows and will even work in the studio the same night shooting still... so I pull one out and pop another in and down load my files for editing on a free day. I've use these cards in my Nikon D300s, D3s, D700 and D800 without fail or any issues at all. Download time is "not" a major factor... it takes a little more time but nothing earth shaking, and certainly nothing like some of the absurd claims I've heard/read from some reviewers of 45 mins or more to download 8 GB of files. I use 2.0 and 3.0 Card Readers from Kingston and Transcend, and it takes a "FEW" more minutes at best to download a full 8 GB Card. The only issue with these 133X CF Cards is you may have to wait for few seconds after firing off a bunch for full quality RAW Files in burst mode, so they're not for the sports photographer, fashion shoots, air shows or any other fact action work. Buy for landscapes, architecture, macro, stills and portraits... they are just fine.

I bought 2 of these 32GB cards to use with my 5D MK II on a road trip. I didn't think I'd fill it up with stills but I was planning on trying out the nifty 1080p video feature so I wanted to play it safe. I also carried a Lumix LX3 with 2 x 16GB cards as backup. This was my first big trip without a film camera and wanted to take full advantage of shooting digitally. This meant a lot more casual shooting and lots of multiple shots for stitching/HDR experiments. After formatting each card in the camera, I shot as I normally would. I tend to focus on landscapes and some portraiture but no fast moving subjects like children or animals. It functioned without any issues. I was a bit nervous about the card failing since I did not bring a laptop and we were hiking in the desert. No data was hurt and everything went as smoothly as possible. I shot about 15.4 GB worth of video. That sounds like a ton but really isn't much considering how large the files are coming out of the 5D. I did not notice any dropped frames or hiccups while shooting/playing back video. longest clip I shot was 10 minutes long. Rest of the clips are short vignettes, about 20 to 30 seconds each. Only time I noticed the slow speed of the card was when I shot some frames in rapid succession. Not even burst shooting mind you. Once I've shot about 10 raw images, it takes a while for the buffer to dump to the card. which is understandable since that's over 200MB of data being shoveled. I could continue to shoot some more frames but had to wait to review the images. Not really an issue for me since I don't run into this problem often with my shooting style. If you do plan on shooting sports or events where many, many shots need to be captured in quick succession, this will be a problem. However, I found the card to be a GREAT value. I was able to shoot through out the trip without worrying about running out of room.

Hi, I needed a bigger memory card for my Canon Rebel XTi (EOS 400D). The only memory card I have used in this camera is a 1 gb Dane-Elec CompactFlash card that I got with the camera when I bought it from Samy's circa 2006. According to the continuous numbering system of the camera, I have approximately 97,000 shutter actuations on the camera. I don't do a lot of burst shooting other than pictures if my brother at swim meets. Otherwise, I do take a lot pf pictures. The camera has been with me to Afghanistan and Iraq. Anyways, I can fire off about 12 frames in Av RAW, and about 40 Large Fine JPEGs before the buffer is full and I need to wait. This is more than enough speed for me, and probably for at least half the people buying this card. It will probably never be as fast as a faster rated card, but 12 frames in RAW/40 in Large Fine JPEG is plenty good for my applications. I have no problems with transfer to computer. I am puzzled by the pictures that shows the speed of the card. I'm getting much faster reading speeds. I have posted it above. Possibly some bad apples come with every batch. I tested using CrystalDiskMark x64 using a Zeikos all-in-one reader I got from eBay. It uses microUSB to USB 2.0 connection. It cost me 1.89 on ebay with FREE SHIPPING. The settings are as shown. So far, I have shot over 4000 frames in Large Fine JPEG since getting this card a week ago. It hasn't corrupted any data and I have been able to transfer files quickly. I hope this helps. It also comes with a nice case, and a lifetime warranty. This is my first Transcend product. Thanks!

This was the 3rd card I tried for my 20 year old Olympus 300 eVolt. 4gb is about the max the camera can handle. I had to format several times before it work. After formatting it, it seemed to work flawlessly! It started to display all kinds of errors, but finally showed the countdown of how many photos were left to fill the CF card. Initially would go in all the but the card fits correctly. Unless you have experience, the card could pose some problems

I use this in a Canon 5D Mk III. Previously, only using the Lexar 1000x card could get you to maximum fps/burst on the Canon spec chart. That's not the case anymore. I bought the 64GB version of this card having had good experiences with Transcend cards in the past. I upgraded it from a 32GB 400x Transcend CF card, which is now relegated to a backup card after being blown out of the water by this one. I put this CF card into my 5D Mk III and turned off all settings such as high ISO noise reduction, auto lighting optimization, etc. (i.e. anything that might slow it down), back button focused on an object and then begin firing. SDHC card was in the camera, but relegated to being a fail over if the CF card filled up (which won't happen quickly, given I'm reading 1600+ shots on this 64GB card shooting Large RAW only). Shutter speed was set to 1/640. The results are hard to argue with: Shooting Large RAW on high speed continuous (6 fps), the camera says the buffer has 13 shots. I averaged 18/19 over about three seconds though before the shutter speed/rhythm started to stutter and slow down. When I put my camera on silent continuous (3 fps, same as low speed continuous), I took over two hundred shots with no stutter before I took my finger off the shutter release button. When I put it on Large JPEG, I fired of 230+ shots on high speed continuous (6 fps) with no lag or stutter before I took my finger off the shutter release button. Bottom line: on the 5D Mk III, this 64GB 1000x CF card is more than fast enough for my occasional burst usage, and it's nearly $120 cheaper than the Lexar at the time of this review. When I copied 1.91GB from the card to my local hard drive using a Sandisk ImageMate USB 3 card reader, it took 24 seconds. Granted, that is in a computer without bottlenecks, and the drive it is copying to is a Raid 0 comprised of two Solid State Drives. An amazing, fast as blazes card, and given the RAW burst performance and price difference to the competition, a great deal to boot. ** Edited 3/29/2013: ** If sports and other situations where you frequently have to do extended burst shooting in RAW + JPEG is on the table, you may still want to consider the Lexar. Per Rob Gilbraith testing method, these are the burst numbers for RAW+JPEG for shots taken in 30 seconds on high speed continuous: 56 58 65 71 71 69 The 1000x lexar numbers on Rob Gilbraith's site are 73 - 75 shots in the same 30 second period. So the Lexar is a bit faster. Shooting RAW only on low speed continuous, or JPEGS on high, were not a problem. **************** Edited 4/21/2013 **************** I have to take back what I said about the lexar card. What I needed to do was low level format this Transcend card. And now it's faster than the Lexar. And not by a little bit either. This is what I did: I went to the transcendusa dot com website, selected United States, and in the Support section, on the Download page, downloaded the Autoformat utility. Be advised if you run it in windows, you must right click the utility and run it as administrator. I then did a complete format, which took several minutes (with my card in a card reader). I put the card back in the camera, and formatted it there. Same test conditions as before now net the following burst numbers: 85 84 85 It's faster than the Lexar. But it must be low level formatted using the utility on the Transcend site, then formatted in camera. Please note: the higher the ISO, the lower the burst numbers. I was only able to achieve these numbers at ISO 100. Raising the ISO number consistently reduces the burst numbers. Even at ISO 100, in subsequent testing, I was only able to achieve 84 bursts sometimes. I am trying to nail it down, but I suspect that it is either something to do with exposure or color, or that the card needs to warm up first. I will post any info if I figure it out. Lowest burst number I've been able to achieve since reformatting the card using the utility (at ISO 100) has been 71 shots in 30 seconds.

Tarjeta de rápida escritura para mi Nikon D300, estoy muy contenta con esta compra la verdad.

Great CF card. Decent size storage capacity - been in use almost daily since buying and not a single error. For a CF card, the transfer speed is very quick! Functions as it should, standard design and compatible with most CF products (check there’s no card size limit on your device first)

Top Verkäufer, Preis etwas zu hoch aber Karte funktioniert einwandfrei in einem Apollo Amiga 6000 .
