I bought this for a Dimage 7Hi camera. It worked good for a year, now the camera can't write to it anymore. I tried formating it with the computer and the camera still don't work -- Worked good for a year
I have been using this for several months on a Cannon A80, with no problems. As some users have also pointed out, it is slow loading the pictures to your camera. I suppose thats a tradeoff for the low price. -- Works fine with a Cannon A80, a little slow though
I bought this card with Minolta 7D SLR digital camera so I qualified for $23.99 mailing rebate. The card itself also comes with another mailing rebate. The all-in cost for this compact flash card cannot be beat. I have only played with this card a few days and so far there's no problem. The card is probably made by Toshiba because when I put it into my computer's card reader, it's being registered as a Toshiba disk. I don't frequently take continuous-advance shots so the write speed doesn't affect me much. This is a great low cost compact flash card for those who do not demand fast-write speed. -- low cost compact flash
I bought this card to go with my S500 camera, for first 2 trips it worked well. On our third trip suddenly it started giving "Data Corrupt" error which I could solve by deleting that particular photograph. After that my husband carried the camera and this card to Europe for business meeting and it started giving same error there. Since then everytime we put card in the camera, the camera hangs. Even Ritz camera people couldn't recover photographs.
The viking customer service was helpful enought to recommend the photo rescue software which costs $29.99 to recover the photographs. I could see the photographs but my purpose of saving money with this card is lost as I will have to spend extra money for the photo rescue software. -- It worked fine initially but giving lots of problem now
