Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kingston 4 GB SDHC Class 2 Flash Memory Card SD2/4GB
Customer Review: Kingston revolutionizes SD cards again
Summary: 5 Stars
Some people believe that SD cards are mere commodities, competing purely on price: just go for the best price on the biggest size card you can afford.
Kingston is proving the naysayers wrong - again - with this SD card. How?
With a sticker of a pretty landscape. Yes, Kingston has always differentiated its SD cards by placing a sticker on the card with an idyllic scene of ocean, trees, and clouds, while others resorted to purely functional, blandly patterned stickers. Now, with the introduction of the 4GB SD card, Kingston is rocking the SD card world with a new photo on its sticker: tall grasses, sand dunes, mountains AND clouds!
I love it, and Kingston is positioned to capture 90-100% of the market for people who care about the sticker on an SD card buried deep inside their camera or other electronic device.
Customer Review: Did not work
Summary: 1 Stars
Both Kingston 4GB SD Cards I bought did not work in my camcorder (Canon Elura 100), my Palm Pilot (Zire 31), or the reader on board my notebook computer (LG F1 Express Dual). I wasted some time trying to make them work, and then fell back on my old adage - "If I can't make it work within two hours, it ain't designed right. Go back and buy something that is." Of course, the literature that came with the devices said not all SD cards will work with them, but ALL technology says that. And, sure, Kingston could try to test every device and publish a list of compatible hardware, but there are probably way too many possible combinations to make that feasible. It is left up to us poor consumers to do the testing. Kind of like furniture and bicycle manufacturers relying on us consumers to do all their final assembly and quality control. Slick on their parts.Customer Review: lots of memory

apparently 4gb cards don't work with all devices, but they do work with a nikon d80. haven't shot a full card yet, but 900-1100 pics at jpeg fine setting should be possible, maybe about 500 or so for raw of course.
hate to say it, but there's no huge difference from using this card and a sandisk extreme or lexar professional in a dslr, except maybe when downloading to a computer. somehow i feel more confident with an extreme, but honestly can't say it's that much faster. if you have a d200 or d2x or a camera capable of 5fps or higher, i'd get a faster card but otherwise, this is the best value. i'd recommend this for a long trip or when you aren't gonna be able to download pics that frequently.
Customer Review: Warning.....can't be read by card readers.

This is a fine card...as far as price and capacity. I bought the 4 gb for a trip to Europe. I took about 200 pictures on it at highest quality of 7.1 megapixels with my Canon SD1000, and still had room to spare. It was great to have so much space and not worry about running out. However, when I got home and tried to use in my HP L7680 printer's media card slots, I got an error message. I tried the card in a Canon MP830 as well, and it would not read there either. So, I had to hook the camera to my PC (the old-fashioned way) and transfer the photos in order to print them. Very annoying, and if I had it to do over, I'd have spent more money to get a card that modern printers can read.Customer Review: Mine Might Be Defective...

This memory card works fine in my FujiFilm FinePix S700, but it doesn't work in my other smaller point-and-shoot cameras. Also, my laptop can take files directly from any SD card and place photographs from there onto the hard drive, but this particular card doesn't "take" when inserted. It's like nothing is there. I have to use the USB cable in order to upload my photos. Just a small extra step, but still a bit of a pain.
I would recommend this card for people that have cameras larger than point-and-shoots, since it works fine on those (in my experience). If you have a small, compact camera, I would recommend SanDisk memory cards instead of Kingston.
