Transcend32GB CompactFlash Memory Card 133X (TS32GCF133)

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. [...]

This works great with my Nikon D70s. I assume also it will work with the regular D70.

I really like the quality, speed and pricing of the Transcend compact flash card.

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.

Excelente

This was actually a second choice (got the Verbatim brand first which didn't work, card could not be read), and I just plugged into the camera and it didn't even need to format the card, just immediately saw the number of images I can take! Brilliant! Now that's quality control! I will be ordering a couple more, as it's hard to find these (especially brand name ones!).

ok

je recommande fonctionne très bien sur mon nikon coolpix 885

Funktioniert einwandfrei
