 Transcend TS8GCF133 8GB 133x Ultra Speed Compact Flash Card November 30, 2008
It is really Ultra Speed CF card. It was the best choice I could make. In the future I am not going to buy other brand and it is because I bought also great 16 GB SD card of this company (which I can't say it about A-DATA 8 GB SD - the same "Class 6", but in practice A-DATA is like a turtle).
One was not enough November 20, 2008
One was not enough, I bought two.
Both worked perfectly for 6 months until a friend offered to buy both of them with my camera. He is a professional and he is still using them more than I would do.
It is very fast with the EOS40D and I could shoot raw at full camera speed. Download was quick and smooth with USB2 reader or with camera.
Definitely a good deal.
I recommend this compact flash for it's capacity and value. November 18, 2008
This is a great product which I use on a daily basis. I have five of these compact flash cards and they all work flawlessly. The combination of quality, speed and price is phenomenal.
Good value all around. Used as an alternate laptop hard drive. November 17, 2008
Anyone that gets a 133x card instead of a 233x pretty much knows what they're getting. [...]
The rated 20MB/s speed is enough to use as an alternate hard drive with a CF-to-IDE adapter. Going from pressing the power button on my laptop to being fully loaded at the desktop (cpu idle, no processes loading) only takes 10 seconds! Battery life was also extended roughly 30 minutes to an hour, since not only is there no hard drive spinning, I've locked down most system writes to only the essentials as well.
Keep in mind I'm using WindowsXP Embedded features and a custom setup. Installing regular windows on this card and expecting it to run fine will cause it to lock up and stutter constantly, as well as completely trash your card in record time from disk writing. Unless you are willing to invest some serious time in to getting it running perfectly and have the technical know-how, I do not recommend trying this for the average user. I managed to burn out a few of the sectors on the card being careless and doing a live setup of XP to integrate the embedded features, instead of setting it up on a virtual machine and prepping the card, but that's the price I paid for being lazy and not too much harm done.
In retrospect, getting a 233x card would have been a much better option, but the 133x is definitely up to the task of turning my old laptop into a speedy web browser and portable music player (through Winamp Remote). Being out around town and stopping in places with free WiFi access was the driving factor, which meant boot times has to be as low as possible. [...]
For anything more than browsing though, definitely without a doubt invest in a higher-speed card if your budget allows.

Works fine in my Canon 30D. Shipping was very fast.
No problems. Would buy from vendor again and am very satisfied
with the memory card.
