Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6
Customer Review: Bought Three!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love these cards. I initially bought an 8 gig card with the card reader, then ended up buying two more for additional space and backups. I've taken about 20k pictures each on two of the cards, and they've been great... If you're wondering, my 12.3mp Nikon D90, shooting in Raw format will fill this card in about 530 photos, or in "normal jpeg", in about 2100, although I usually only shoot in Raw (or NEF, same thing). No failures, cheap price, easy transfers with the Transcend reader: 5 stars.
Edit: October 24th: I've had a card fail, luckily after I'd pulled all my pictures off, and I've been very gentle with them. I did delete a few photos in camera in that particular card, which you're not supposed to do, so I'm guessing it's my fault too, but I've since ponied up for SanDisk Extreme III's with recovery software. These are pretty good cards, and they hold a lot, but I think with the chances of something going wrong and having up to 8gigs of shots on it is scary. I got these for $8 each though, so it's still been a great deal in my book. Just be gentle with 'em...
Customer Review: May work for sum but not for me!

i ordered 2 of these for my hd camcorder , first i formated the card with my camcorder then within maybe 3 or 4 min of footage it said memory full. so i took it out and put it back in and tried once more this time my camcorder hangs up within a few min wont even shut off i have to take the battery out . in disbeleif i tried maybe 15 times all with the same result. so i thought maybe it was just this particular card. i tried the other one and the same problem happened again with my camcorder hanging up and i have to take the battery out. now you may ask well it's something to do with my camcorder , well i know it's not i have a class 4 sandisk sd card 2gb and it works in the camera flawlessly and i know my equipment will support up to 8gb sdhc. so my conclusion is maybe it will be ok on my digital camera i don't know. but i beleive it's going to work for some people and not for others. i'm dissapointed seemed like a good deal. maybe like i said it will work in my digital camera but i originally wanted this for my camcorder, so i'm upset. next time sandisk!Customer Review: a shame

I bought this for my Digital Camera thinking that this would be a good SDHC card and more than capable write speed. I formatting it, and took it onto vacation to Spain (I figured one 8 gig card would be enough for pics of the fam, ocean, etc). It didn't last two days before I got an error and had to reformat (it deleted the handful of clips I had on it). It was annoying, but I thought it may have been a fluke.
About half way through my vaction IT HAPPENED AGAIN. reformatted the card, and everything went back to normal. But! when I checked the video clips on my PC when I got back, I noticed that the video clips would "stutter" as if hung up on something. All my other memory cards (several 2 gigs) have never had a problem like that. So basically, most of my clips were unwatchable/useable. Ive learned since, that this is due to the write speed (thats why people buy faster SD cards, especially for high capacity cards). If I had to do it again, I would have gotten a 6.0 speed SDHC card, or just several 2 gig SD cards.
Customer Review: excellent card for HF100
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this recently for my Canon HF100. This card works fine with that camcorder (i.e. I can record at the highest quality possible - 17Mbps). The thing to note though is HF100 does not really require a card this fast (i.e. Class 6). It requires only Class 4. But then, this card currently is available for about the same price (or less) as any other Class 4 card.. So go ahead and buy this - it works as advertized.
Also about the capacity, for the battery that comes with HF100, there is no significant benefit buying one 16GB Vs 2 of 8GB cards (right now, 2 8GB cards go for $10 less than a 16GB). This is because the battery lasts only about an hour, and an 8GB card is perfect to record video at highest quality setting for slightly over 1 hour. So if you arent planning to buy an additional battery (which is $90 now, because it is too new), I would say get this (or some other) 8GB card. By the time the price for the battery comes down, the 16GB cards would have come down even further, so you can buy 16GB card at that time.
Customer Review: Used in Treo 700p and in USB Card Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
This 8GB SDHC is my second Transcend SD card. My first was an 1GB SD.
After having used some real slowpoke doozies in my Treos (namely Ritek, PNY, and "generic" cards of capacities between 1-4GB), I would rate these as good or better than SanDisk Ultra II's for quality and speed. The 1GB 120x Transcend SD card seemed almost as fast, but this Class 6 SDHC card is the fastest SD card I've ever owned. Saving 300k photos is almost instant and so is switching between apps and email stored on the card.
Note, though, if using on the Palm OS - it will show only 4GB available; however, once you fill up the first 4GB, it will then show the actual remaining capacity. It does not affect the amount (7.5GB) of usable space, though. This is a quirk of the PalmOS rather than the card. Using an SD-to-USB adaptor, the capacity shows correctly.
I can't wait to get my hands on the 16GB version from Transcend (and later the 32GB version) at a reasonable price (i.e., when they fall under $100).
