 Excellent performance, solid compatability July 3, 2008

I purchased this SDHC, Class 6 card for my new Canon G9 about 4 months ago because I needed a high-speed SDHC card for the new camera. Since getting it, I have ended up swapping it between the Canon G9 and my SD800, depending on if I was going to an event with point-and-shoot requirements or if I could sling the G9 around my neck and use it.
The performance so far has been excellent, I've fired off a 45-second sequence of continuous shots on my G9 (10MP camera) before at a wedding and the card has no problem writing all that out and just letting me keep holding down the button and firing off shot after shot. When you consider the raw amount of bytes the camera is processing and writing during a continuous-shot session, it's pretty dang impression that it's writing out so many MB/sec.
The SD800, at 6MP, performs swimmingly as well but the real performance bar to clear was the G9, which it handles with ease. Also swapping the card between cameras in the middle of shooting sessions has never been a problem as the card seems to be compatible with all my SD-based Canons without issue. I've never had to reformat the card or anything like that.
The "no brainer" attribute of purchasing this card is the combination of performance, compatibility and price... you could buy 4 of these things and just swap them in and out if you are a serious photographer.
I get 600-800 shots at 10mp on a single card at about 4-6mb each picture so I really can't imagine you needing more than one of these unless you were a professional photographer shooting at like 12 or higher MP with a trigger finger. But in that case you probably want to play it safe and use more cards, incase any 1 of them has a failure.
That was a tip I heard from some photographer friends; that you never want to buy bigger than a 4GB card incase you fill it up and it fails, then you loose hundreds and hundreds of pictures at one time. So in most cases having a few 4GB cards seems to be the sweet spot between safety and convenience.

works well with a 10 MP camera (PowerShot G7) - fits about 900 highest quality JPEGs. No problems shooting continuous video. You are much more likely to run out of battery power than space.
Works well - no issue July 23, 2007

Use this in a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K. This will hold lot's of pictures (around 1,000) at full size and quality. Speed seems reasonable. No issues so far.

This card works great with my Kodak EasyShare Z812IS. I have not had any problems with this card. And you just can't beat the price. Also according to the paperwork I received with the card, it comes with a lifetime warranty.
From the Transcend website:
Effective January 1st 2006 the following Transcend products are covered by this warranty for life, SD series, MMC series, CF series (except Industrial CF cards) memory cards and JetFlash series USB flash drives (except JetFlash 210).
So far so good.... July 22, 2008

Well - I'm not really sure how one would review a memory card, except to say "hooray - it works!", or "boo - it doesn't work". So here goes... "hooray - it works!"
