Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 2 GB Elite Pro Secure Digital Memory Card ( SD/2GB-S )
Customer Review: Another Taiwan junk card, Kingston 2GB-S
Summary: 1 Stars
The Chinese and Taiwan SD cards have been bad for years, yet companies like Kingston and plenty of others still are selling them as OEM's. Check the forums for the plethora of problems people have. If you want to be frustrated by the pictures you have taken on your vacation being corrupt and unuseable, then get one of these cards. If on the otherhand you want to be able to use and enjoy the pictures you have taken, then get one from Japan. How do you know you have a Japanese card? It says so on the back, and the manufacturers won't tell you or just don't know as it depends on where they got the latest batch from. Shameful junk and a company like Kingston should really know better. Avoid like the plague unless you know its origin.Customer Review: Can't Store Files. Keep Having Errors.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have purchased Kingston cards for years and enjoyed their quality. Recently got this card (blue sticker instead of brown) and my camera keeps saying "can't recognize file format". So I put it into the card reader and see what happens. Individual photos show valid file size but when you click the photo file, there is nothing to see. I have reformat this card many times using WinXP utility as well as my own camera.
I started reading reviews from amazon & new egg and found I am not the only one with error files. Someone commented that this problem is due to made in china or taiwan. I don't think it's a valid statement. I have SD cards made in china, taiwan, japan and no problems until I use this 50X Elite Pro.
Customer Review: Pretty Consistent
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as memory cards go, the industry is pretty well saturated with numerous labels. This is the third or fourth SD memory card I have purchased. I came within a week and work well out of the box and will be used to supplement another 2GB SD card that advertised at 144x. The Kingston Elite Pro at 50x for the most part performed as well as my Patriot 2GB 144x SD. Certainly eons better than the a SD card that I purchased from Outpost, which didnot work at all and had to pay to ship it back. What make this a great consumer experience is buying from Amazon is literally seamless and painless. Outpost may not really care, the buying experience through them has convince me never to consider Outpost for any future purchase.Customer Review: Not SD - SDHC
Summary: 2 Stars
If you have an old SD card reader that isn't SDHC compatible, it's going to show this card as having a capacity of 975 megs. That's what happened to me and that's why my phone showed it as having a 1.9 gig capacity while my PC couldn't write more than 975 megs to it.
I only found this out after getting an SDHC 4 gig card for my phone (to replace this) and found out about the difference between SD and SDHC. When I put this in an SDHC capable reader connected to my PC, it showed up as 1.9 gigs and operated fine.
Be careful when ordering this that the product you're going to use it in is SDHC ready or you'll only get half the advertised capacity.
Customer Review: Good performance, works w/Nikon D50 SLR
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this SD card for my Nikon D50 SLR camera. I was hesitant at first, because I couldn't find a lot of documentation either way as to whether a 2GB card would work on that camera, but I have gotten some extended use out of it since I purchased it, and have had no problems whatsoever. I took many, many pictures in my camera's RAW mode with this 2GB card, the most memory-intensive use for the camera and card, and it never hiccuped once. Kingston seems to be very reputable when it comes to memory, and I have one of their 1GB that I've been using for several years with no problems. I highly recommend it.
