Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Ultra Compact Flash 2GB Card (SDCFH-002G-A11) (Retail Package)
Customer Review: SanDisk 2Gb Ultra II CF Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a professional photographer. I own several of the SanDisk Compact Flash cards, using them with an Olympus E-20 camera (used for a studio portrait camera) and an Olympus DSLR which I use on location. The SanDisk Ultra II CF card is actually faster than the buffer write on the E-20 and a good match for the DSLR. This latest purchase was due to a price decrease on the card and the sensible practice of purchasing extra memory cards when sales are on. I prefer the 2Gb cards because there is less data to lose if a card should fail. (None has to date.) The Ultra II is a fast and reliable CF card. Unless you need the extra speed of the SanDisk Extreme III or IV (and don't mind the higher price that goes with it), I highly recommend the SanDisk Ultra II.
Pros: Excellent product. Good value.
Cons: None
Customer Review: Plenty fast
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this as part of a starter kit for a Canon 30D; there's no lag with the fast shooting mode (5 fps I think) ; reviewing images on the camera is nearly instantaneous; there is a 1 to 2 second lag when going from the latest image straight to the very first one on the card.
I'm one of those people who want things "now!" and this is great; I'm sure there are newer, faster cards out there, but the price is even better than when I bought it; you may want to have several smaller, hopefully more reliable cards than a big fast one, the odds are better that the smaller ones won't all fail *at the same time*...
My Adorama invoice says "60x" so I guess that's the max speed, compared to others going at 133x, 200x and faster... But again, this is plenty fast... Hope this helps.
Customer Review: Best CF card for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many other professional photographers, I wanted a good, reliable CF card that would do the job. After getting suckered and getting fake CF cards from Ebay, I decided to buy a genuine Sandisk CF card. Like the reviewer below, I also own a 20D, and this card is just perfect. For a wedding photographer, 2GB cards are the perfect size CF cards. I shoot primarily RAW, and I can easily fit 200+ images on one card. When in Large Jpeg, I have gotten more than 500 images to fit in one. The card is quite fast surprisingly for the type of photography I do. If you are a sports shooter, then you may want to invest a bit more so they can get the Extreme series.
I now have 5 of these cards total, and plan to buy at least 5 more. I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: Reliable and Fast
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a Lexar Professional fan, but after reading a few reviews decided to try SanDisk Ultra II, (priced lower than the Lex-Pro at the time). I'm completed satisfied with the performance and would rate both products equally in quality and value. I currently own a Canon 20D and can wholeheartedly recommend this card for that specific model as well as the Digital Rebel and PS-G6 which I've used sporadically in the past. Although shooting burst RAW images will tax any memory card, I find the Ultra II very fast during normal RAW and burst JPEG shooting and have yet to be held up while waiting on image writes. After about 3 months of solid use, I've never encountered a lost or corrupted photo. This card will be staying in my camera till further notice.Customer Review: Compact Flash Card
Summary: 1 Stars
We formatted the card before we used it and took approximately 150 pictures. The photos could not be accessed from the card. They were viewable on the camera LCD screen but showed as corrupt files on the computer. I had not opened the card to test it within the 30 day return period as I had purchased this card for a shoot in June and then decided to test it at the very end of April. I wish now I had tested it right away. Something I will do in the future. At this point we have drawn the conclusion the card is probably defective. Very frustrated with our experience with this card in particular. We own the SanDisk 1GB Ultra II CF card and have had no issues, though. So, it doesn't seem to be an overall problem with the brand. Just a bad card?
