Transcend offers a great combination -- a 16 GB SDHC card and a truly compact card reader -- for an extremely competitive price. There are 16 gig SDHC cards on the market for more than three times the money.
The reader also allows me to interchange the 16 gig card with a Transcend 8 gig SDHC card that I bought separately, which increases the versatility of both items.
But wait, there's more. ;)
I own an ASUS EEE PC computer (Asus Eee PC 4G (7 Screen, 800 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Pearl White) that comes with a built-in SDHC slot to enhance on-board hard disk capacity. With the 8 gig Transcend card, and the 16 gig card and the reader it comes with, I can use both if I want to slap 24 super-portable, solid state gigs of fast memory on my EEE when I'm traveling. I've run both cards through the SDHC slot without problem, and using the card reader, I've also tried both from all 3 of the built-in USB slots and from USB hubs attached to each of the 3 USB slots as well.
Bottom line? They work great -- and especially with the ASUS EEE PC.
Good job, Transcend -- highly recommended.
 It may be Class 6, but it's still slow May 13, 2008

I bought this Transcend 16GB memory card to use in a Canon HF100 camcorder. I think Amazon even recommended the pair. And the price was right.
Unfortunately, this card is slow. When I turn on my Canon camcorder, I have to stare at a message saying "READING THE CARD" for 10-15 seconds before I can take a picture. The wait to take a movie is better, but still 4-5 seconds.
I tried my old 2GB Sandisk Extreme III card, and it is at least TWICE AS FAST, so I may have to send this Transcend back. Waiting 3-4 seconds is OK, but 10-15 is awful. I'm missing shots. I also need to see if the Transcend can keep up with 17 Mbps video mode. It claims to be "Class 6" speed, but maybe it's slow at random accesses? Frustrating.
Fast and stable. You may have to download KB934428 HotFix from Microsoft to make it work in your integrated card reader. February 13, 2008

( I can't provide the web link to the HotFix because Amazon filters web links, you can search for KB934428 at Google and get a direct link for download / you'll have to validate your copy of Windows before download)
We don't use this card in a camera, we use it to back up or XP system partitions when using Ghost or Acronis and our throughputs have improved tremendously compared to imaging the %systemdrive% to even another internal SATA drive.
The included adapter is a bonus and it has an orange status light to display read activity.
Five Stars !

i apologize for the one star rating, i have this card and it works fine in my camera, so i ordered another one for my zen through amazon from thememstore and the day for delivary came and went, i didnt mind the original 3 week wait for the card. finally i sent thememstore an amazonmail, then i get a letter from amazon saying my order was canceled without telling me why.
the reason i am here writing this is that since i didnt get the item i cant post the negative comment in the store area and now the price has gone up since my original purchase. dump thememstore

Have to give this one all five stars. I've been recording video with a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder at the highest resolution 1920x1080 @ 60i, thats 60 interlaced frames per second, I really expected this flash card to give me problems because of the low price, but to its credit I've been able to record approx. 2 hours of nonstop video with no hicups. Very solid product, I currently own two of them.
