Comment: I ordered this for my new camera and it shipped out really fast and I got it sooner than I expected, too. I know nothing about digital or electronics either one, but it was easy to put in the camera and the instructions were easy to follow. I would order this again and as always, I trust Amazon to be an excellent online dealer/store.

Summary: Good product, great buy.
Comment: Before owning this memory card, I used to own a 512 MB Sandisk SD card. I bought it for $24.99 (haha!) ... that 512 MB card was nothing special. It did not have a high write speed like the Ultra II and Extreme III series, it was just a standard consumer card that I used for my old 5 megapixel point-n-shoot Samsung camera. For that camera, it was perfect.
When I purchased my first digital SLR, the Nikon D40, I bought this card (1 GB Sandisk Ultra II) to go with it, assuming that my 512 MB card would not be fast enough or have enough space for my liking. Well... I was mostly right. I tested this card against the standard 512 MB card to see how big of a difference there really is. I found that, when shooting JPEGs in continuous mode (2.5 fps on the D40), I could keep going and going for quite awhile with the Ultra II, but with the 512, it slowed down rather quickly (way before the card was full). However, I found that with shooting RAW files in continuous mode, neither card performed as well as I had expected. Both cards were almost equally matched for how many RAW files I could take before continuous mode started slowing down (only about 10 photos). The 1 GB card "catches up" faster after it has been slowed down, but not by much. Now, at this point you might be wondering why I still gave the card 5 stars, despite the flaw in continuous RAW shooting. I gave it 5 stars for three reasons:
1.) I don't believe that the slow down in RAW mode is the cards fault. I have a feeling that it's the cameras internal file buffer that is too slow. If you own a higher end DSLR that has a better processing unit, the card will probably be able to perform well for a much longer amount of time.
2.) As I mentioned before, I paid $24.99 for a 512 MB card. That was a long time ago, I'll admit. But I was amazed that I only had to pay $10.99 for this 1 GB card (purchased from JoWow seller on amazon). At that price, I'd probably recommend it to anyone.
3.) I haven't had any issues with losing files yet. The card is reliable, even in bad weather conditions. I live in Wisconsin, and in winter, it's not rare to get temperatures below 0 here. I have gone on photo adventures in this kind of weather, and have not noticed any performance issues with the card.
I shoot the majority of my photos in RAW (NEF) mode, so card space can be kind of a pain sometimes. For this reason, I have been considering purchasing the Extreme III 2 GB Sandisk. However, if you do most of your shooting in JPEG mode, this card is wonderful for the price. At $11, I would even recommend it to point-n-shoot users, even though most of them don't need the extra speed of the Ultra II series.

Summary: Good card
Comment: I bought this SD memory for my Palm Tungsten E2 and it works great. Coping speed is high when using a SD card reader on my desktop computer, but when coping through Palm's HotSync software is really slow. Reason must be because of software rather than SD card.

Comment: So my son leaves for europe for a two year, once in a lifetime, project. I buy him a camera. I buy him a SadDisk memory card so that he has lots of capacity. And don't forget reliability. SadDisk is the best! Right? He uses the card in his camera for a year and a half as he travels around europe on various assignment locations. Taking pictures of so many memorable locations, new friends, and the like.
One day he decides to use the camera. There is a message waiting for him. Card Error.
I am sure you know how we feel about SadDisk and their products.
Consider yourself warned. DO NOT BUY OR USE SANDISK PRODUCTS !!!!!!!
