Review: Cheap but Mighty - I bought this card for my Canon EOS 400D, and I was pleased to see when I turned the camera on that it cheerfully displayed "1587" to show me how many raw shots could be recorded before I'd have to change cards. Woohoo! Having bought a 2Gb SanDisk Extreme IV with the camera, I didn't want to spend a fortune on spare cards so I did some research on the web to find out exactly how fast a card needs to be before the write speed of the camera falls short of the card and you are paying for "unused extra speed". I have found it difficult to find accurate sources on the web but it seems that a 133x card should be more than adequate for storing data as fast as an EOS 400D can supply it. Which of course means a less congested buffer and more shots in a row in burst mode! I have done some simple tests with this Transcend card compared to my Extreme IV, and superficially at least there is no appreciable difference in performance. I have read that the larger memory address space of high capacity cards can slow down data writing slightly as compared to smaller cards, so I will not be going higher than 16Gb. I will be buying a few more of these babies before I go off around the planet! ** Update follows (26 Mar 09) ** Since writing this review I have upgraded to the delicious Canon EOS 40D (see my review on the kit version for the low-down). The performance of the Canon EOS 40D with the Transcend 133x 16Gb card is noticeably poor compared to both the 2Gb and 4Gb versions of the SanDisk Extreme IV range. Since I do a lot of high speed shooting, I therefore sold my Transcend card with my Canon EOS 400D. So, if you are a 400D/Rebel user, this card will do fine speed-wise and it is a LOT of storage at a low price. However if you are a Canon 40D user, and you want the full shooting speed, you will probably want a faster card. I have recent reviews on the 2Gb and 4Gb SanDisk Extreme IV cards which will help you decide how fast your cards need to be.
Review: Excellent so far - used as a replacement 1.8" HDD - Bought this to use as a replacement hard disk in a sixth gen iPod Classic (120GB). It had been dropped one too may times, and the existing drive was clicking and freezing badly, but replacement mechanical drives are still pretty expensive. I had bought a cheap ZIF to CF adaptor from Ebay, along with the necessary tools to split the iPod apart (about £5 all in). Got this CF card as it offered a good size for the price, and the lower speed of this card was not an issue for music playback as the bitrate is only 320kbps. The card has been great - worked straight away after a reformat with iTunes, showing 30GB of space. Upload of music was fast, and performance in use has been excellent, with near-instant restart from pause, quick track selection etc. The iPod is also marginally lighter, and the battery life is good. Recommended if you want to convert your classic to SSD storage.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this card for my Roland Fantom X keyboard?**
A: I'm unfamiliar with the Fantom X as I play the electric guitar. However, in reviewing http://lib.roland.co.jp/support/en/manuals/res/1811531/Fantom-X678_r_eA.pdf, page 5 says it will accept CompactFlash memory cards. However, per http://www.musiciansfriend.com/resources/article/Roland-Fantom-X/m711821, it appears the keyboard has a PC card slot for data backup with a 1GB capacity so assuming this is a standard socket, you'd only be able to use 1GB of the 8GB available on the Transcend CompactFlash.  Regarding speed, I use mine in a Canon camera capable of producing 6 raw frames a second so this should be no problem in the Roland environment.Note that my response is not a wholesale blessing for the use of the subject Transcend CompactFlash memory card, but it appears it will work though you'd only be able to use 12% of its capacity (1GB of 8GB). Hope this helps. Good luck.

**Q: Does this Memory card work in my Nikon D70?**

Check with the manufacturer of the third-party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

**Q: Does this work for the Canon 40d?**
A: The Canon 40D is meant to use a Compact Flash card of up to 32GB; so this should work just fine.  My experience with my Transcend card has been flawless.

**Q: Will 8GB or 16GB work with the Canon EOS 300D?**
A: The camera specs say the camera supports up to 8GB. Anything higher then 2GB however can slow the camera boot time, due to the camera reading a more complex file system. Basic funtions, lag has been reported, yet others say it is not noticeable enough to be an issue.A 16GB card if used, the camera can only format 8GB and use 8GB only of the 16.Hope this helps!
