Review on Kingston 2GB SD Flash Memory Card, 2 GB SD Card by Adam Jauregui

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These things just work! No surprises

I've been using SanDisk and Kingston SD flash cards for a number of years. Some out of band products are cheaply made and I don't recommend them. But as for these SanDisk and Kingston-branded cameras (provided you buy the real one and not a knock-off from some irreverent online store), you'll be happy. in photo frames, GPS navigators, phones, etc. Speed is not usually an issue when it comes to writing images onto cards. But when you need to copy those images from your camera (or your reader) to your PC or printer, higher quality (more expensive) images will allow you to copy information faster. If you're using a mid- to high-end DSLR, the speed at which the camera can write to the card becomes important when you're shooting big (8+, 10+ or more GB) and fast (multiple frames). . . frames per second) or when recording video with a camera, recording speed can become important. Sometimes these cards are rated or encoded as CLASS "x" (where "x" indicates the rate at which they can be written). where the higher the better). In my experience, some of these rating schemes are incompatible, so theoretically a Class 6 card from one brand should be just as fast as a Class 6 card from another brand, but I'm not sure you can really trust that. My experience is that you get what you pay for with these cards. But by the way, if you use this on a whim then don't spend a lot of money on it. Do your research, and if the card is way too expensive, don't buy it as it could be a copy (fake) and not the original. I made that mistake.
