 A Card That Does What It Is Supposed To! September 14, 2004

I'm always afraid that I'll get a memory card that has problems or one that will malfunction soon after buying it. The fact is, I have bought many memory cards (of varying formats, brands and capacities) and "knock on wood" not one has ever given me any kind of trouble to speak of. This 512 MB Viking brand SD Card has been functioning perfectly ever since I put it in my Pentax Optio 43WR camera. I guess I cannot legitimately give it anything less than 5 stars based on that.
 Not fast enough for Video shooting July 29, 2005

I never thought I could have this problem but when I shoot movies with my Canon SD400 under high settings (30 fps, 640*320) it often shows a red exclamation mark beside the minutes and stopped working quickly after. Now I know why-- it's the SD card that's not fast enough. If I change to a lower setting that never happens again. But why do you want to sacrifice your video quality? Get a better one instead!
Too slow for video August 5, 2005

The Viking 512 MB card performs flawlessly when taking pictues. However, when taking video, such as on my Canon S2 IS at the highest resolution, this memory card is way too slow. After no more than about 10 seconds, the video will stop so it can finish writing what was captured. With many of the new digital cameras that now provide higher quality video, a faster memory card (a Canon rep recommended a minimum of 40x) is a must.
works with Canon SD450 November 28, 2005

I've always wondered what speed SD card I needed for a Canon SDxxx series camera. I can now say that this card (standard speed?) works fine with it. I took a 1 minute 640x480 30fps video with this memory card without a problem.
Pictures shot fine too.
No need to spend $$$ for the 40x,60x, or whatever x memory cards for the consumer end digital camera.
Good Choice December 5, 2005

Viking being a good brand (Made in Japan-by Toshiba) for memory cards I ordered two memory cards. I mainly wanted it for my palm and I thought I'll keep a spare one to use in some other equipment. Of course before placing the order I had done my homework by finding out how the guys who had purchased it before me felt about it. I was satisfied with what I discovered about the product. I also figured that it was a good deal compared to the rate the local retailers were offering. Out went my order to amazon.com.
The delivery was quick and I've been using it continuously since last couple of months. I must say that it is just perfect for my Palm. The loads of pictures stored in the card can be transferred in a jiffy to my computer, the speed being much better than my previous flash card. My brother tried the spare card in his Kodak camera and was thrilled that it worked well with it. That made me experiment it in my Canon (LCD), but somehow I found it to be a little slow though it did work. Just to satiate my curiosity, I checked out the web for compatibility and found that the card supports the Canon Power Shot SD400, Panasonic LC80, Nikon CoolPix and many other digital cameras. I also found out that the card does not work with MP3 players (trivia for you guys out there).
I would say that I am happy with my Viking Flash Card, which I find is very reliable and an good product for the price.
