Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDSDB-1024-A10/11 1 GB Secure Digital Card (Retail Package)
Customer Review: My Pocket PC Experience. Good.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card 14 months ago and used it heavily on my IMate Pocket PC then on my IPAQ4700. The card proves to be reliable.
I used it mostly to store images, e-books, documents, voice recordings, and Avantgo channels. In addition, I used it as a flash memory occasionally.
If you are a heavy user it is advised that you defragment the SD card on a monthly basis to reduce the possibility of file system being distorted. Using this practice I did not receive any errors, brilliant card.
I would recommend "Simple Tech BONZAI USB 2.0 CARD READER" ,which is a portable reader costing ($8 or less), in addition to this card as it would be possible to use this SD card as a flash memory accessible from all PC with Windows (Version 98 2nd Ed or later) or Apple Computers with USB1/USB2 drives.
If you want a faster and more reliable SD card that would stand more extreme weather circumstances I recommend "SANDISK SD Ultra II" that costs about $20 extra.
Customer Review: Good product, less than stellar seller
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this just in the knick of time for vacation. I have 125 photos stored on it and counting. It seems to be working just fine!
My problem is with the seller. I gave a somewhat negative review (3 out of 5 stars) in the seller's feedback section on Amazon due to the fact that the item arrived several days late. It was to arrive between June 14 - 17th, per Amazon's shipping confirmation info. I did not receive it until June 19th - hours before leaving for vacation. The seller did refund expedited shipping costs, but only after blaming UPS and Amazon, and after 1 1/2 hours of phone calls and emails. To top it off, after the seller saw my feedback, they called me and offered to give me $5 to remove the review. Excuse me - I'm not so greedy that I'll take down my honest opinion for the equivalent of 2 lattes!! Obviously I left my feedback up. I think it's ridiculous that they offer money to essentially bribe people to be dishonest about the service received.
Customer Review: wrong card
Summary: 1 Stars
The amazon site brought up this card for accessories for my Canon rebel XT digital camera. It is the wrong disc. Because I opened it, their vendor , Adorama, would not exchange it. I never would have bought it if it hadn't come up on their site. If I go now the right card does come up, but something I did atthe time directed me to this card. It was not clear that for my large purchase order that they were splitting my order to three vendors (part of that hidden price gig they've got going on) until you go to summarize the order for putting your charge number in. By that time, I'd spent enough time with the whole thing,though I didn't kknow anything about the other vendors. I would have been better off getting accessories like memory cards locally. I guess I'll have to sell it on eBay. I'm quite discouraged with the Amazon process for this type of purchase. Next time I'll stick to books.Customer Review: Buy at your own risk

On the surface, this seems to be a really good product, but I had something that I just wanted to share with you guys. I bought a 1.0 GB card to use in a SanDisk MP3 player and it has given me endless fits. The problem is this - I was loading the music files onto my card and one day an error message pops up that says the file cannot be created. Thing is, I only took up about 300 MB on a 1 GB card. It doesn't say it's full, it just says the file cannot be created. I took it to the store and even tried a different computer, but to no avail. The guys at the store said I might have a bad card. Now I have to pick and choose what I want on there, even though I've used less than a third of the available space. For all I know, my card may be one out of a million; maybe not. It's just frustrating to shell out 90 dollars for a product and only be able to use 30 dollars worth of it. Buyer beware.Customer Review: It's Almost Too Big!

I was always happy with my SanDisk 256 Memory Card, until even on one week vacations, I was deleting photographs to make room for more. That's a lot of pictures! This 1G is fantastic. Although it has many other functions (digital music players, cellular phones, handheld PCs (HPCs), digital video camcorders, smart phones, car navigation systems and electronic books, etc), I only use it for my Nikon 7.1 camera. Here is what I found out.
For pictures:
High Quality Printable Pictures - 280 quantity
PC (low) Quality Pictures (Websites) - 4,100 quantity
For Video Recording:
TV Quality @ 30 f/s - 18 minutes
Camera Quality (LCD) 15 f/s - 3 hours and 20 minutes
The only thing I am afraid of is losing it! One could always buy (4) 128mg cards or (2) 256mg cards, but this is a real bargain!
