Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card with USB 2.0 Card Reader TS8GSDHC6-S5W
Customer Review: Card works great with Canon T1i. Reader works Awesome!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really only looking for a SDHC card reader. It seems all the SD card readers I have are uncompatible with SDHC. When I found this combo with an 8GB Class 6 SDHC card, I couldn't believe the amazing value!
I've since successfully used the 8GB SDHC card with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i Camera and have shot full 1080P videos (@20fps which is max for the camera) and it works just perfect. Videos recorded at 720P also work great. There's ZERO lag time.
The card reader has worked perfectly with my Sandisk 16GB Extreme III card as well. Performance is pretty good, but at 8GB or 16GB, any reader is going to take a few minutes to copy off that much data.
For what it's worth, I have been able to successfully connect the reader to Windows XP, Windows 7 RTM, Ubuntu 9.04, and Mac OS X 10.5.
Customer Review: Handy and inexpensive
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using a couple of Transcend 8 GB SDHC cards for over a year now and decided to get this to keep a small card reader in my camera bag. It works. My other cards have been reliable so I expect this one to be, too. The card reader transfers the images to my computers at full USB 2 speed.
What the product photo doesn't show is that the card reader is wide enough to crowd out adjacent USB ports. I expected the side with the card sticking out to keep me from using an adjacent port on one side. I didn't expect it to be wide enough to block the port on the other side too. It does, forcing me to pull another peripheral off my computer when I download photos. That's a minor annoyance. On the other hand the card reader adds little to the cost of the card it comes with. It's small, light, and it works.
Customer Review: A fantastic SDHC card and reader - Be sure and get both
Summary: 5 Stars
I already had the card but didn't realize I needed the reader too. Should have bought this in the first place. The price is great. I have a new Canon SD-1100 and this card works just perfect in it. Fantastic pictures. It's fast and problem-free.
The reader is extremely good. Just plug and play. Uploads fast. Is quickly recognized in the computer. Only trouble is you might have a problem finding a handy USB port. Not an easy fit the way it's made. But not a big deal. I have a long USB cord that I use and it works fine. You might want to pick one up.
I highly recommend both the card and the reader. Best to buy them together. I bought mine direct from Amazon and got it one day after shipping --- a total of two days. Not half bad.

Customer Review: The reader is a bonus
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this from Amazon frankly because at $14.99 the price was right (a special offer they had out there for awhile). I already own a multi-format Transcend card reader, which, unlike many other vendor products, actually handles all card formats, so I figured these folks know what they are doing and this package confirms that. The SDHC card in the package outperforms the minimum standard for class 6 SDHC by a good bit, perfect for my Canon SD800 (gives me over an hour of movie time). The reader Transcend included in the package is a bonus, providing means for using up my collection of older and more capacity challenged SD format cards, particularly when I want to leave something with a client to take home to their equipment - beats giving up a thumb drive!Customer Review: Fast read/write, Good combo offer
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this as i would get the SD card + reader, i initially bought this for my Nikon D40, which does support SDHC perfectly well.
The read & write speeds are really fast, and pretty much up to the mark.I am not an expert, and hence havent measured the exact read/write speeds, but can definitely tell that its up to the mark!.
After doing a little bit of reasearching, i found the price of buying this combo is almost approx the cost of buying the SD card alone, so if your planning to get the SD card only, rethink if you could shell in a couple more bucks to grab the reader as well.
And yeah definitely double check to see if you are getting this for your digital camera/slr that its compatible with the SDHC type.
