Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E
Customer Review: Fast shipping and Affordable
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered with Amazon Frustration-Free shipping/packaging, and received my (16gb) memory card the VERY next day! The packaging really was without frustration; I just had to rip a paper strip and within seconds I was able to put the memory card directly to use.
The huge space allows me to take over a thousand of the highest available quality of photos on my Canon PowerShot SD1400IS, which is more than enough for me! The pictures transfer with ease to my computer and other harddrives (using the memory card or the USB cable that came with the camera).
Amazon has continued to amaze me with service, as well! The day I was due to have this sent to me, we had terrible snow here in Michigan. It was bad enough to even shut down my university, which rarely closes. That very day, my doorbell goes off and my package arrived. They had warned that I should expect a delay due to the inclement weather, and yet I still received it right on time. Hooray!
Customer Review: Works Great in My DMC-ZS3
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this specifically for use in my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 which records HD in AVCHD-Lite format, which requires a memory card with fast speed and high capacity. I was worried about trying the Transcend brand after reading a lot of horror stories here, but gave it a shot because of the great price.
To be safe, after any day of taking photos and recording video, I immediately move all the data onto my PC and reformat the card. I've been using the card for a few months now and have never experienced any issues with it. I find it so reliable that I just ordered and received my second card.
My bottom line is if you need a fast SDHC card for recording high def video and want to spend as little as possible, definitely consider giving this product a try. However, if you just need a card for snapping casual photos and maybe even recording some standard def video, there's no reason you shouldn't get a more reliable, less expensive SD card.
Customer Review: Didn't make it for half a year
Summary: 2 Stars
I got the card quickly. It worked perfectly. I was using it in my Panasonic AG HMC 150. I recorded video without a problem. Until one day, six months later, it just stopped working. I tried to reformat it. It couldn't format any larger than 512 KB?! I contacted Transcend they sent me a key for a program that they said would cure my problem. However the program was a recovery program, it still didn't fix my card. It did have a format tool, which turned out only opened Vista's built-in formatting program, nothing i haven't seen before. When I told them it didn't solve my problem they stopped responding.
I asked if I could mail them my card for repair/replacement. No response.
I never abused the card in anyway.
With nothing to do (besides never buy from transcend again), I formatted the card, although only to 512 KB.
Now my computer doesn't recognize it.
The card is nice if you have a wobbly chair, I guess.
Customer Review: Stopped Working <2 Hours After 1st Use w/ Canon Vixia HF100
Summary: 1 Stars
This card was to be used in my Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder and Canon SD800 still camera. After its 1st use it has developed a corrupt file system. I'm not able to format it, as the file system is only recognized as RAW at this point. Sometimes the Windows command prompt function "CHKDSK /R" will fix problems with a bad index or file corruptions (accessed via Start --> Run --> cmd), but I can't even get that far.
My A-DATA 16GB SDHC C-6 has worked beautifully for >1 month and is less costly (per GB, of course!) & faster than this model (using the Vixia HF100 and SD800 camera).
Given others' ratings, I must acknowledge that my experience is likely the result of some fairly rare production anomaly...I suppose even more reason to document it...
I'm pursuing support options now & will report from that vantage point next. I will update this review and/or associated * rating with any change(s), as warranted.
Customer Review: Card Locked error so no holiday snaps.
Summary: 1 Stars
When transferring my holiday pictures to my Vista PC the process hung up, then the PC re-booted (only after I removed the card and allowed some recovery routine to run). Upon re-boot the card was unreadable on the PC, it simply did not see it. I replaced it in the camera and got "Card Locked" even though the locked tab was not in the locked position. Not too impressed with this at all. I've only had the card 2 months, it was really nice when it worked, fast transfers were great. Not sure what caused the problem, ie PC or card, but I've lost some nice wilderness shots/footage.
I returned the card to Transcend and they quickly sent a replacement card, along with an apology and a $5 coupon for their online store. They do seem committed to customer satisfaction which is nice. Shame about the lost data though. I'd rate the card higher now if I could.
