SanDisk SDHC Memory Card Bonus MicroMate Reader 4.0 GB SDSDBR-4096-A10 Review

I bought one for my Leica D-Lux 3 and both the card and the reader work fine. However, if you are shooting RAW files, the write speed is very, very slow. So you might want to look at the Ultra version of this which I think costs about $20 more.

Very fast delivery. The charger works fine, although it only indicates uncharged (red light) and charged (green light), rather than charge progression like the OME. Batteries seem to not last as long as my original Canon battery, but for the price, this is a good buy.

Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5W Review

Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5W
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the 16GB version (Transcend 16GB SDHC CARD with Compact Card Reader) of this package a few months ago. The card was meant to be used in my Canon S5 camera. But I soon discovered that it works extremely well with the included card reader as an USB flash drive (much larger and faster than my SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro). So I ended up using it mainly for data backup and transfer between my laptop and desktop computers. The card has proven to be fast and reliable in the past 2-3 months of daily usage.
As first I was skeptical about Transcend's speed rating of 'class 6', which means minimum 6MB/S when writing. But my own benchmark results (see Customer Images) showed that this card is capable of writing typical photo files at 10.5MB/S - nearly twice its specified minimum data transfer rate. Just for reference, the Sandisk 8GB EXTREME III claims a faster speed of 20MB/S, but it costs about twice as much.
Considering its low cost and respectable speed, this Transcend card is an excellent buy. But please make sure that you order it from a reputable vendor only. Several reviewers who ordered the 16GB version from TheMemStore complained that they received some no-name card reader (instead of the Transcend DRS5). This may explain why some people have encountered problems when using this card.
[update on June 8, 2009]
I have purchased a total of three Transcend SDHC cards (two 16GB + one 8GB) in the past 10 months. They all worked perfectly so far. The second 16GB card is for use in my new Canon Rebel T1i/500D. I have heard that some other brands of 'class-6' cards cannot keep up with the camera in video mode, and will cause buffer overflow within a few minutes. But the Transcend card has no problems at all. I'm going to purchase my 3rd 16GB card next.
[Update on Sep 14, 2009]
I have highly recommended Transcend SDHC cards in the past, becuase they were much cheaper than Sandisk Extreme III (class-6) cards, and worked just fine in my applications. But in light of many complaints about Transcend card failures, and my recent finding that SanDisk Ultra II (class-2/4) cards are just as fast as Transcend 'class-6' cards, I must now recommend Sandisk Ultra II as a better and safer choice.

Works just like it says. I would agree with the others that say the top is a little loose, but if you push on it it is pretty snug and since I keep it in a camera bag I'm not too worried.

I have tried several card readers on my Mac, and this one works the best of any I have tried. Transfer times are fast. I recently purchased the camera kit for my iPad. Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (MC531ZM/A) The camera kit only reads sd cards, so I plug this into the USB attachment and now I transfer photos directly to my iPad from a CF card. This is a great product. I carry it in my camera bag and use it almost every day!

Lexar Professional Series 16 GB 300x UDMA CompactFlash Memory Card CF16GB-300-381 Review

Lexar Professional Series 16 GB 300x UDMA CompactFlash Memory Card CF16GB-300-381

I'm a photojournalist who bought the Lexar 16 gig UDMA card for my new Canon 5D Mark II. I've had occasion to use the card on a variety of assignments and for spot news during the Stanford Financial meltdown.
The card is perfect, never a hint of bogging down or image corruption no matter how fast I shoot. This is partly due to the camera, of course, but the fast write speed of the Lexar keeps up when shooting those massive 21 megapixel images or high def video. I also appreciate that Lexar lets you download "Image Rescue 3" for free when you buy the card.
Don't waste your money if you are using an older or "prosumer" camera; they probably will perform the same with a card costing half the price. Lexar designed this pricey bad boy for high-end pro cameras.
UPDATE: I notice Lexar has introduced a 600x that will empty the camera buffer twice as fast. (A completely full 5DII buffer will empty in eight seconds with the 300x card; it will empty in four seconds with the 600x card.) If you are shooting action/sports with RAW files, that might be the way to go. Otherwise, this 300x card will handle anything you throw at it.

Sandisk Mobile ULTRA MicroMate microSDHC & M2 USB 2.0 Card Reader Grey (SDDR-121-GREY, Static Pack) Review

tl;dr
Pros: Teeny-tiny, Fast transfer of big files, Holds card securely
Cons: Might be hard to remove card, Too slow for apps, Weird heat problems
Firstly, when I was shopping around for this reader, I did not actually understand how small it would be. The round part is literally smaller than a dime. This was never a problem, because the key-chain attachment is sturdy and I have yet to misplace it.
Some reviewers on other pages have had trouble with the item splitting along the plastic divide when pulliing the reader out of a port, but I haven't encountered this problem. My MobileMate was a little tight in the USB port, but with a little regular use that became much less of a problem.
The reader accepts MicroSD and MicroSDHC with no trouble. I haven't tried an M2 card, but I don't forsee any problem with it. The MicroSD cards fit all the way into the protective area, with only a bit of the face and the removal tab showing. They are held in snugly enough that I am unworried carrying the reader around with one in it at all times, but are still easy to remove, provided you have a bit of fingernail.
I only have two complaints/concerns with this product.
My concern is that, when left in a USB port and used for any fair amount of time, the MobileMate gets very hot. I've yet to have it melt or anything, but it makes me worry.
My complaint is more of a misjudgment on my part. I'd ordered this reader and a MicroSDHC card in lieu of a flash drive, because I thought it would be neat to have something so small. Now, while this reader and MicroSD cards in general have a phenomenal transfer rate with larger files, the performance drops like a rock when transferring a lot of very small files (like, say, if you were trying to run Portable Firefox).
With the heat issue and the lag I get on Portable Apps, I've basically decided to keep my MobileMate and cards for large data transfers and cellphone data stuff, not to mention that it's just a cool thing to have around. Plus the BlueProton deals with MicroSD cards (if they're still around) are excellent. But I'm buying a OCZ 4GB Rally 2 USB 2.0 Flash Drive (OCZUSBR2DC-4GB) for portable stuff.

SanDisk Ultra SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDRH-004G-A11, US Retail Package) Review

SanDisk Ultra SDHC 4GB SD Memory Card (SDSDRH-004G-A11, US Retail Package)

I have been using Sandisk Ultra II Compact Flash and Secure Digital in my Canon 1DMkII bodies for more than two years. Canon recently upgraded the camera firmware so it is compatible with SDHC. I found out Sandisk had produced an Ultra II version of the SDHC at 4GB. The performance is equal to the Ultra II SD I have been using. It reads and writes at stated speed. Despite the information in the Amazon listing for this product it is NOT a class 2 card. It is much faster.
If you like the Sandisk Ultra II 2GB SD card you will like this card as well. The addition of a USB card reader is a very nice touch as there are not too many of these readers on the market yet.
