Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6
Customer Review: Fantastic volume of storage, reasonably prices
Summary: 5 Stars
8GB is larger than the hard drive space on my college computer (from 10 years ago) and this is infinitely lighter!
I shoot semi-professional photography and my RAW image sizes are quite large (approximately 22MB). This is the perfect size to keep me shooting for a long time before having to switch out. I also have a 16GB version, which I am often hesitant to use because on a shoot, it's considered to risky to put all of your eggs in one basket. Shooting with three or four 8GB cards has been an ideal set up. The class 6 speed cards allow me to shoot unfettered of stop and "write" time.
This card holds a ton of information, costs relatively little (with the price dropping each month), and writes as fast as anything out there. I've never had any negative issues. If your, DSLR accepts HDSD cards (double check first), then you will want this card.
Customer Review: 2 transcend cards in 1 year and both work great
Summary: 5 Stars
May of 08 I got my first digital camera-a Canon SX100IS which I love. I researched sdhc cards on Amazon and decided on the 4 gig Transcend. It took me close to 1 year but I filled it all up with hundreds of pictures and quite a few videos. Not a lick of problems. I then ordered an 8gig Transcend card. So far I have roughly 300 pictures and a few videos on that one and once again, it works like a charm. I don't have a clue as to why some folks have problems with them. Remember to always format the card when you first put it in your camera to make sure of the compatability. I used low level format in both cards. I love these Transcend cards. They have worked very well for me and the read/write times are quick. Also, no problems at all downloading the pics and videos to my computer using a card reader. For the price these cards simply cannot be beat.Customer Review: Big SDHC Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card so I could take longer HD videos with my camera and replace the 1GB card I took from my mp3 player.
I needed a Class VI speed SDHC memory card with a fair amount of space. This product has what I needed, and works great. The only thing I don't like about it now is (my fault) that I cannot format the card directly from my XP computer. I accidentally pulled it out, without safely ejecting it first, and now it can only be read by the camera. I can still use it (and still like it), I just wish I had 'ejected' it before removing it. (Originally, my computer read the SDHC card just fine).
My advice, this is a good product, especially with the Frustration Free packaging from Amazon, it will work, as long as you always 'Eject' the card before removing it.
Otherwise I have no complaints, it works fine for me.
Customer Review: A "must have"
Summary: 5 Stars
Excelente producto el cual es muy rápido y eficiente... la velocidad se hace evidente a la hora de tomar secuencias de fotos o la hora de descargar e incluso de borrar información en ella.
8GB deben ser suficientes para las necesidades de cualquier persona, con mas memoria disponible nunca hacemos nada con las fotos hasta que se pierdan y con menos capacidad quedamos limitados... es el tamaño ideal.
Te permite tomar tus fotos en la mayor resolución posible sin preocuparte por el espacio o incluso en modo RAW.
Lo único que la podría dañar es leerla siempre en algún lector o dispositivo externo, procura siempre tenerla dentro de tu cámara y bajar la información con cable para que dure virtualmente toda una vida.

Customer Review: Card died on me
Summary: 2 Stars
Owned the card for 3 weeks. Got ~2000 shots, lot of which were L+RAW. Worked without problem then. While taking photos today, camera gave me "card cannot be read" error and the card read as if no photos had been shot. Lost all the photos that were on the card. Reformatted with Disk Utility and then camera (Rebel XS) and still wasn't reading this one. At the same time, I tried other SD cards in between and it shot fine. After reformatting several times, it works now, but I'm not going to risk it again. I understand that I might have gotten a lemon, but now I'm trying another brand.
Regardless of what brand you chose, make sure you offload your photos ASAP! You never know when your card will mysteriously be unreadable!! And the larger the SD card capacity, the greater the loss if your card dies and you haven't offloaded.
