5 Stars Fast and Flawless operation with D300 – Plan to use CF cards for Archival Storage
I have been using the Kingston 32GB elite pro Compact Flash card in my Nikon D300 DSLR since 3/8/2009. In the 2.5 months since, I have shot 4,000 images, using 22 GB of memory. Operation has been flawless; file transfer has fast and reliable. It is reasonably priced and I have been very pleased.
Due to the relatively low cost ($2.25 per GB), I plan to use the Kingston 32GB Compact Flash cards for archival storage. Who cares if my hard drive crashes, I’ll still have my images on the CF card? I’m buying another card today because my first one is nearing capacity.
I have shot a number of RAW images, with no problems. Your experience may vary, depending on your equipment.
5 Stars Fast enough for my needs
I’m not using this in a camera, rather it’s used in a Sound Devices 788 T audio recorder. Sound Devices recommends “the use of UDMA x300 CF cards for 8+ track recording.” This Kingston 32GB CF is not a UDMA card and it’s rated for only 133x. Recording 8 channels of 24/96 kHz works out to 2.2 MB/s. Running the 788T’s speed test on this Kinston CF resulted in a rate of 4.9 MB/s; fast enough in theory. I recorded about 3.5 hours of 8 channel 24/96 without a hitch, so it seems fast enough in practice also.
4 Stars lots of storage
i shoot with a canon 50D and have had no problems with this card. I was worried about getting it cause i didn’t know the brand, but it has worked out fine so far.
5 Stars Big memory, thousands of pictures
Used this memory card in my camera and was able to shoot over a thousand pictures in RAW format. The memory was fast and didn’t inhibit my shooting at all. Very satisfied.
5 Stars Quality is good, price is right, perfect for 5D Mark II.
I bought this card right before 7 weeks vacation and 5DII easily fill it in a few days. I shoot RAW + small JPG as well as video, and sometimes use contiuous mode. I never see buffer is full and I need to wait to shoot next picture. Only in one occasion I saw the ruler for buffer when I shoot video, but it did not stop the video shooting and disappeared within one second.
I also have Lexar 300X and Sandisk 200X CF cards. When you use continous mode to shoot RAW and wait the camera to flush the buffer to CF card, they are faster than Kinston card, but even when it is flushing the buffer, you can still take pictures. So this is not a problem unless you want to shoot like a machine gun.
Quality wise, this is the 5th Kingston CF card I am using, I had 256MB, 2 2GB’s, 4GB, and this 32GB card. I never have a problem with them.
I highly recommend this if you are looking for a economic solution for your 5D2 and will not shoot in continous mode forever.
