Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston Elite Pro 4 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card CF/4GB-S2
Customer Review: Good, inexpensive, but might be slow
Summary: 4 Stars
Product was relatively inexpensive, which was nice. I used it as a storage card for digital music for a car stereo. When copying data to the card, it went pretty slow. So I downloaded a flash memory benchmark program and ran it. It did not come too close to the 133x the card was advertised. I used a SanDisk PCMCIA to CF adapter. As a comparison, I used a SanDisk CF to USB2 adapter and received about a 2x transfer speed increase, but that speed was still slow and nowhere near 133x. I do not know how fast a typical USB2 jumpdrive is supposed to run, but I also benchmarked one of those I had and it went about 10x faster than this card. Hopefully there will be other reviews about this to either confirm or refute the lack of speed for this card.Customer Review: Good Storage Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I found the Kingston Elite Pro 4gb card after doing some searching. I wanted something I could use for some fun pictures at an event that was coming up. The vendor shipped very quickly, nicely packaged and with a great catalog letting me know about the other items they sell.
I think the fact that the company shipped in such a timely fashion and offered the item at a great price, was good enough. Letting me know that I could expand my relationship with them because they offered quite a few other things I might want to purchase, was helpful. I will go to them first when researching items for best prices.

Customer Review: Great CF card for the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Compact Flash card to use it with my new Sony Alpha A200, I have a week shooting everything, everywhere like a mad. I've tested shooting jpg's and RAW's, and also in burst mode and I gotta tell you, 0 complains to the Kingston. Great capacity (4GB), fast as it said it is (133x) and so far no image damaged.
So, don't buy this card for a Pro work, isn't made to do this job. This is a memory card of excelent performance for us the amateurs/high enthusiatic photographers, you can't find a better deal for the money.
Customer Review: Great Product with a Great Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I am an amateur photographer and I purchased 6 of these cards for my Canon 30d. These have worked great and I would recommend them to anyone needing a dependable card. My biggest concern when I bought the card was the reviews about the speed. I often shoot wildlife photos in burst and found that I was very happy with the speed of this card.
One review I read indicated that formating the card in the camera improved the speed on these cards. I can prove this to be true, however I do format them on my camera after each use.
Customer Review: First card sort of died
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this card in my Marantz PMD660 audio recorder.
Had no problems using it several times in the first 5 months. (recording only)
I download audio files to PC and edit.
Then when I went to use the recorder last week and it could not recognise the format as FAT32. The card worked fine on a PC reader but the Marantz still could not recognise the format as FAT32 even after reformating on PC as suggested. I don't know if Windows, the recorder or card screwed up.
Kingston is replacing the card. No problem.
