I needed quickly a possible large, convenient CF card. I take pictures with the Canon 5D, which I bought used me. Since this camera is a bit older, they can probably anyway not as fast write as the card is (at least nominally) allows. So that's a great place to save some money. The download to PC via card slot is also fast enough. Of course I can not say anything about the durability of this card, neither in (years) long-term test, even under extreme conditions. But whatever. Who wants to work professionally and in extreme conditions, will hopefully buy a branded product. This is more for the hobby sector. You have to know, but that's no shame. After my previous experience, I'd still buy me a second of these cards.
