Kingston CF 4GB S2 4GB Elite Pro CompactFlash Card 133x
Kingston’s CompactFlash Elite Pro is a redesigned memory card that offers a minimum sustained write speed of 133x. The Elite Pro is designed specifically to help advanced amateur or professional photographers get the best performance from their high-end imaging devices and applications. No matter how fast you work, CF Elite Pro can keep pace. With its ultra-fast transfer rates of 25MB per seconds read and 20MB per seconds write, you can capture more continuous, high-resolution images in less time with the Elite Pro than with traditional CompactFlash memory cards. When it’s time to transfer your largest files, watch them fly! Your production workflow will be more efficient than ever.

5 Stars It’s not a Lexar but it’s VERY good!
I would prefer to use a Lexar CF for the speed and reliability but their priced so high it cuts into my lens budget! I’ve used Sandisks and found them a good solid card also but I was really leery of using a Kingston on a professional job. Speed is very important to me but also I want a very reliable card.
I shoot with a Nikon D300 using a D70 as a backup. I started using 4GB Kinston CF cards this summer – I just couldn’t ignore the great price and solid reviews. I use cards in less than ideal situations, a thunder storm, dusty dirty days, crazy hot days – so far not in snow… I have filled, downloaded and reformatted the four cards I purchased this year at least 10 times each. I’ve never had a card so much as hiccup. For the price it’s five stars!
4 Stars great so far
so far the card has worked great! I have not maxed out the card and tried to put on the computer, however the amount of pictures that I have put on the card, downloaded without a problem. The cost was a great saving and the shipping time was wonderful! Will def. use them again and thank you, as I used this card when I went to Bonaire!
5 Stars 4GB card works in Nikon D70
After some research I selected this 4GB CompactFlash card from Amazon for use in my Nikon D70 DSLR. Although the camera manual doesn’t mention this card as being supported, tests have shown that it works great. I can now shoot 700 images in Raw mode. And the card is fast enough for burst shooting in Raw. For my purposes, having 700 shots available means I can go a whole night of D70 astrophotography without needing to change the card. Great product, great price.
5 Stars So fast and usefull
I own a Canon Digital Rebel XTI and this card is just perfect for this camera.
5 Stars Exelente producto
Es el tipo de producto que esperaba de Kingston lo recomiendo, r?pido y funcional sobre todo para las c?maras de muchos pixeles, funciona perfecto en mi Nikon D70

4 Stars Works Great.
Not much to review here. It is an 8GB card that I use in a Olympus E-3. Works fine.. faster than the cheap stuff, slower than udma cards.
1 Star Buy Transcend
Using in my Olympus E-510 I get 9 shots continuous in RAW with the Transcend and Kingston only gives me 7. The specs are the same and Transcend card is cheaper.
5 Stars 8GB Flash Review
Card works great in my Sony A200k camera. Was concerned about write performance, but it has not been an issue. Camera has beeen very fast. Flash card does not appear to be a bottleneck at all. Good deal on this CF card for 8GB. Better bargain than SAN Disk.
3 Stars Too slow for me
This memory card takes quite awhile to save pics from my Canon XTi. My SanDisk Ultra seems much faster. It has locked up on me once while it was saving pics. I had to pull out the memory card because it wouldn’t let my camera turn off since it said it was still trying to save a photo.

First, understand that I am giving this product 3 stars because ‘Technically’ it works fine, and does the job that it is intended to do: Store Data. I have shot and downloaded over 10,000 images with the card, and have had NO problems or loss of data.
Here is what you need to know, though, if you are doing photography: This card is SLOW. And I mean, SLOW.
I am shooting a Canon 40D. I also have a Lexar 4GB 133x with technically the same stats. I have never had a problem with that card keeping up with my shooting.
With this Kingston card, I found that in Program mode, I could take only one pic every…oh, say 5-10 seconds. That was with it set to continues shooting mode. That is obviously unacceptable. Now, when I put the camera in the preprogramed ‘Sports’ mode, I was able to shoot (obviously) 70 shots very quickly…since that is the built in memory buffer of the camera. At that point, though, the camera couldn’t take anymore pictures until they were written to the card…which took…well…5-10 minutes. Now, as they write you can shoot more…but only at the rate of about one every 10 seconds or more.
SOOOO…. Do I think this product is good? It’s fine if you are just shooting grab shot of family and things like that. But if you are doing any sports (I shoot youth Soccer and Football games), you will be very frustrated with this card. If that is what you are looking for…go to the Lexar. If one pic every 10 seconds if fine, you will LOVE this card and the price!
Hope this was helpful!!!
