Lifetime warranty

You can usually find on the present flash memory cards always an indication of speed, for example, "45x" or "133x". Here Kingston has apparently deliberately refrained because it is the "Kingston CompactFlash Memory Card 8GB" is the default map of the manufacturer, which is probably somewhere between 45x and 80x - so nothing for said performance fanatics.

I bought this card for my Canon SLR, so that the memory does not go on vacation in Egypt. The Kingston 8GB has desert tours properly survived at 45 ° C in the shade and put all the data safely home. As long as no bracketed shots will be fired in excess of the internal memory (buffer) of dSLR, memory cards are not a bottleneck with standard performance from my point of view. Only reading the card on the PC takes a bit longer, but I'll do such work in the background.

Kingston offers a lifetime warranty for this card. Stored data are to be retained for 10 years after Kingston specification! This card has an automatic standby mode for longer battery life. She remains operational at temperatures between 0 ° to 60 ° C and can, according to Kingston in the range between 20 ° to 85 ° C are stored.

My opinion: In addition to the top memory manufacturer Sandisk I entrust only Transcend and Kingston my precious pictures. Speed ​​is secondary, in my view, but you should not entrust their valuable data Noname CompactFlash card.

While this card 8GB of Kingston is not the fastest, but more than adequate for most photographic works. Kingston currently offers alternative cards in the performance categories 133x (green label) and 266x (red label) to, in particular the latter variant, the purse much easier.
