Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6
Customer Review: Excelente producto
Summary: 5 Stars
Adquirí el SDHC Transcend 8Gb Clase 6 y estoy muy conforme con la calidad del producto y su desempeño. He hecho pruebas de performance y sorprendentemente llega a compararse con el "SanDisk 8 GB Ultra II SDHC Card", pero por 30US$ menos :D
Sobre WindowsXP y con un lector SDDR-113 (Sandisk) llega a 19MB/sec de lectura y 14MB/sec de escritura según HD Tune PRO.
El producto me fue entregado en su blister de fábrica, sellado y con los manuales y papelería de rigor

Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to!
Summary: 5 Stars
The card arrived relatively quickly. One thing I really loved about the packaging, was the fact that on the back, there was a little picture describing how you're supposed to open it. I don't know if it's just me being totally oblivious or what, but I don't remember ever seeing these kind of packaging including directions before. And it was awesome because I personally never knew that's how you're supposed to cut it open (cut along the edge)! It saved me a LOT of pain that's for sure.
That said, the card itself is excellent. I'm using it with my Panasonic Lumix TZ5 digital camera. It went in and even without formatting, i was able to take photos immediately. I did format, though, in case there are any problems in the future. I've only used this card+camera combo a couple of times, but so far there have been no issues.
A solid card investment, and definitely worth the price (when I bought it, it was $18 approximately).
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.
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: Excellent SDHC Card at Unbeatable Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this card to use in my MP3 player (one of the Insignia models from Best Buy). Having bought into the Sandisk hype for years, I decided the substantially lower cost of the Transcend made it worth a try. It works great and the class 6 speed is very fast compared to slower cards. The lifetime warranty can't be beat.
I've used it for 6 months with no issues at all. I'm so impressed that I'm buying another to upgrade the smaller 2Gb card in my wife's Nikon D40. The price on this card fluctuates, so with a little patience you can get it less than $20 (Fall 08).
As others have commented, please note that this card is a high capacity (SDHC) card. It is not compatible with every SD device in existence. Do your homework before you buy to make sure your device and/or card reader works with SDHC cards. Don't assume!
Bottom line: Highly recommended for devices that accept SDHC cards.
