Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6E
Customer Review: Fast and affordable
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked this but I thought that was strange, so I unplugged the card from the reader and replugged it in. The same error occurred. I then figured I'd just put the card back into the camera and read the data off the camera. Guess what? I got an error message on the camera that said "Please insert SD card". I have an old olympus that I planned on sellinggiving to my sister. I put the card into it, and got an error saying some kind of error.. I came on amazon, hoping someone else had the same problem and a solution to it. I saw a few posts that said if you set the card to the "lock" position, the card suddenly becomes readable and you can retrieve your data off it. Others have said that they used data recovery software that was able to detect the card and get some/all their lost data back. I tried that with TWO data recovery softwares, and not either of them was even able to detect the card when in the card reader. All in all, I lost out on a couple of hundered bucks because this card lost all my data on it's first time using it, and is no longer even useable by my camera OR computer. I will never buy another I'm like the rest of you that gave this card a 1 star rating. I bought the card because I needed more storage space. I have an 8 gig version of this same card that has worked perfectly for a year. a different one because I wanted a more "top of the line" level point and shoot. I work at a school and frequently do video/picture shoots for school related events. We had a rugby event, and I was going to get reimbursed for photographing and take pics of the event. The Lumix and 16 gig card was just right for this. One camera that could video and photograph with great quality. I filmed and took pics of the event with the camera, and there were no problems. When I got home, I plugged the card into my SDHC card reader, and the computer worked fine.Customer Review: Just Lost my 300 photos.... Don't buy this product~!
Summary: 1 Stars
Normally, I don't leave feedback, but I am really unsatisfied with this product!
After I came back from my Honeymoon trip last month, I still took some photos with my Transcend 8 GB class 6 SDHC card with new camera Nikon Coolpix P100. P100 automatically creates new folder with every 200 photos I took. Totally, I got 14 folder in my 8GB Transcend SDHC before yesterday.
Yesterday, I try to review the photos I took, and I found the last two folder #13 and #14 are "EMPTY". I lost my photos from June 13 to recent(July 14, 2010)!!!.
While I was looking for a new apt in the last 30 days, I took about 300 photos and NOW THEY ARE GONE. Yes, the folders are empty.
No matter I use camera or card reader, I just can't find any photos in this two folders. Even I use two data recover software try to rescue the missing photos, I can't find them. THEY JUST GONE~!
Lucky me, I only lost two folder (latest folder) of photos. I backed up the first 2.8 GB photos right away. (My honeymoon photos, once a lifetime)
I have three Transcend 8 GB (all class 6) and one Kingston 8 GB class 6 on hand. I think I'll just dump Transcend SDHC after I got more SDHC cards from Kingston or SanDisk.
In the future, I think I won't buy any SDHC card from Transcend any more. Though it's cheaper than Kingston or SanDisk.
For people still take photos with Transcend SDHC card, my suggestion, BACK UP YOUR VALUABLE PHOTOS FREQUENTLY AND DON'T USE UP TO HALF OF THE CAPACITY~! Good luck, people!
I just cannot trust this brand any more~!
Customer Review: Transcends my Kindle to a walking bookstore!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this particular card specifically for my new Amazon Kindle. Even though the K instructions say to use SD memory cards up to 4GB, Kindle Forum users suggested 8 GB and, if you want to walk around with the equivalent of a Barnes and Noble Superstore in your beach bag, some install 16 GB. You know how some people are--always pushing things to new limits of overkill, like the church-going granny driving alone in a Chevy Suburban 4x4.
I hear all SD cards are not the same (even though they look the same to me), but I bought this Transcend card (because the blue color was mighty fetching) on a One-Click and a prayer. When it arrived, I popped it into the K and, bingo, recognized! It says 7.5 GB storage remaining, so the other 1/2 GB is lost to operational memory, sort of like my own brain after that weekend on Key West, living on frozen mango beverages, when I brain farted and lost the words to "Margartitaville" by the third plastic cup--but I'll save that tale for our next Kindle-side chat, friends.
Anyhoo, the thing works for me (and don't you cringe when people write "anyhoo"). I'm a technological piss-kid, so I have zero idea if this card is "fast as Mazola on a summer hog" or "slow as Valerie Bertinelli wolfing Jenny Craig peanut butter".
"Alls I know is that it works real swell in a Kindle, right Spanky?", said Alfalfa, an early Kindle adopter.
I agree, Cowlick. Enjoy the Kindle!
Customer Review: Corrupted Images
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this card mainly to work with my my asus EEE as a medium for transferring large files between the desktop and the EEE. It works great for that purpose but when it comes to my canon A590IS Powershot, this thing is an unacceptable failure. I unfortunately only recently discovered this in the middle of my vacation to Costa Rica. At first, it seemed to be working fine. Pictures saved and I was ecstatic to have a 2000 picture capacity. Everything was nice until I actually went to review the pictures. Many were intact and displayed well, but several and coincidently the best pictures were completely corrupted. I couldnt view them on the camera which displayed a question mark and I couldnt open them when I transferred them to the computer. I first thought this was simply the characteristic of the horrible JPEG file format but I decided to give JPEG the benefit of the doubt and do a test on the card. I used it to take 10 more photos. I then went to review them. One of the ten was corrupted from the start. But with each review (opening the file), more and more seemed to become corrupted. I then used my other cards and did the same test, experiencing none of the problems. Im pretty pissed off that an eighth of my vacation photos (and coincidently some of the best ones) are completely messed up because of this card. I still have 3 weeks to go but have truly lost some great memories.Customer Review: Simply didn't work - a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I read a lot of positive reviews about this card, and I was excited about having 8 more gigs to increase the capacity of my Creative Zen Mp3 player.
Unfortunately, when I received the card, I didn't have an immediate use for it, so I didn't check it out right away. I let it sit around for about two months.
This weekend I went to use it, and it wasn't recognized by either the Zen or the computer. I've tried several tests to see if the problem was on the end of the computer/mp3 player, but the issue seems to be with the card. It must be a dud.
I have to dig up my receipt and see if I kept any packaging. it's too late to return this to Amazon, so I'll see what Transcend has to offer, if anything. It's disappointing to not be able to rely on such a purchase when I most needed it. Now I probably have to go to a local shop and see if I can find something that compares, although I know it will be hard to get as good a deal for this much storage.
**** UPDATE *****
It's been a couple weeks since I tried using this card. On a whim, I decided to try it again, and this time it worked - my computer found it and so did my mp3 player! Strange! I'll cross my fingers and hope it continues to work after this. It would be a shame to start storing a lot of music or other files on it and then lose it all.
