Transcend CF133 CompactFlash Memory Card 1GB, Up to 30MB/s, DSLRs Camera Card, MLC NAND Flash, ECC, Support Ultra DMA transfer mode 4 - TS1GCF133

Introduction: I recently purchased a new Canon 5D Mark II camera. And while I love it the images are huge and my old 8GB cards would only hold around 250 - 260 photos. I got sick and tired of having to swap out cards just when I'm lining up the prefect shot. Review: I received this new Transcend 32GB card yesterday and promptly loaded it into my 5D Mark II, formatted it and headed to the zoo. This card did NOT disappoint! It was so good to see the images remaining counter max out at 999 on my 5D Mark II for the first time. And you can shoot high definition videos and multiple images just like you can on a faster card!! In Camera Speed: My faster cards "Transcend 266X Extreme Speed 8 GB cards" do NOT seem faster in the 5D Mark II then this 32GB 133x card at all. I get the exact same 13 RAW or 52 JPEG's before slowing down in continuous shooting! Now once it slows down of course it's slower, but, I usually only need a burst of 5 to 10 shots to get something anyway. Think about your shooting style and go from there, fast and furious order something faster otherwise this card just might fit the bill. I blazed through the zoo using my normal style of 3 to 5 shots a burst getting over a thousands stills with no noticeable difference in speed and felt the freedom at last to just shoot and shoot. I also recorded an HD video of 14 minutes no problem and a to the limit low res 29 min 59 second video. There is NO hesitation and no difference. Download Computer Speed: I then headed home. And that's where the one weakness reared its head. Downloading to my Mac. It was half the speed of my 266x card when downloading to the computer. But hey I'm at home now and speed is not an issue. I simply start the download, go put away my gear, grab a snack and drink from the kitchen and it's done. Recommendation: If you need a lot more room on your Compact Flash card and are sick and tired of running out of space and download speed isn't an issue this card is for you. I highly recommend especially for Canon 5D Mark II owners. 5-2-2009 Update: I found out there are some situations that this car is not fast enough for after all especially when saving 25 mb raw files in rapid succesion. While great for land scapes or museum and even renaissance festivals it's just not fast enough when the pace really heats up. I recently photographed Hugh Jackman and the cast of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the World Premiere in Tempe AZ and there were moments where I could have gotten some really cool shots that I missed because the card was still writing. On the other hand I'm sure I got some shots I might not have gotten if I had a load of smaller faster cards and was swapping them out. I still love this card especially for landscapes and slow paced photography and will keep it but am now looking for a faster, high capacity brother card to compliment it. [...]

Purchased to use with a Nikon D200 I picked up. No issues.

I use the faster 400X and 600X Transcend CF Cards for sports/action photography, but for macros and still studio work, this card shines and does all that is needed. This is a great value for anyone needing a good reliable memory card and who does not need the blazing fast speeds of the 400 and 600X CF Cards. I bought two of these 8 GB cards back in March of 2010 and they've proof to be reliable good performers... and I just bought two more as well as a 32 GB one that I've been using to good effect for just over 5 weeks now. I often have to work two or more flower shows and will even work in the studio the same night shooting still... so I pull one out and pop another in and down load my files for editing on a free day. I've use these cards in my Nikon D300s, D3s, D700 and D800 without fail or any issues at all. Download time is "not" a major factor... it takes a little more time but nothing earth shaking, and certainly nothing like some of the absurd claims I've heard/read from some reviewers of 45 mins or more to download 8 GB of files. I use 2.0 and 3.0 Card Readers from Kingston and Transcend, and it takes a "FEW" more minutes at best to download a full 8 GB Card. The only issue with these 133X CF Cards is you may have to wait for few seconds after firing off a bunch for full quality RAW Files in burst mode, so they're not for the sports photographer, fashion shoots, air shows or any other fact action work. Buy for landscapes, architecture, macro, stills and portraits... they are just fine.

I use this in a Canon 5D Mk III. Previously, only using the Lexar 1000x card could get you to maximum fps/burst on the Canon spec chart. That's not the case anymore. I bought the 64GB version of this card having had good experiences with Transcend cards in the past. I upgraded it from a 32GB 400x Transcend CF card, which is now relegated to a backup card after being blown out of the water by this one. I put this CF card into my 5D Mk III and turned off all settings such as high ISO noise reduction, auto lighting optimization, etc. (i.e. anything that might slow it down), back button focused on an object and then begin firing. SDHC card was in the camera, but relegated to being a fail over if the CF card filled up (which won't happen quickly, given I'm reading 1600+ shots on this 64GB card shooting Large RAW only). Shutter speed was set to 1/640. The results are hard to argue with: Shooting Large RAW on high speed continuous (6 fps), the camera says the buffer has 13 shots. I averaged 18/19 over about three seconds though before the shutter speed/rhythm started to stutter and slow down. When I put my camera on silent continuous (3 fps, same as low speed continuous), I took over two hundred shots with no stutter before I took my finger off the shutter release button. When I put it on Large JPEG, I fired of 230+ shots on high speed continuous (6 fps) with no lag or stutter before I took my finger off the shutter release button. Bottom line: on the 5D Mk III, this 64GB 1000x CF card is more than fast enough for my occasional burst usage, and it's nearly $120 cheaper than the Lexar at the time of this review. When I copied 1.91GB from the card to my local hard drive using a Sandisk ImageMate USB 3 card reader, it took 24 seconds. Granted, that is in a computer without bottlenecks, and the drive it is copying to is a Raid 0 comprised of two Solid State Drives. An amazing, fast as blazes card, and given the RAW burst performance and price difference to the competition, a great deal to boot. ** Edited 3/29/2013: ** If sports and other situations where you frequently have to do extended burst shooting in RAW + JPEG is on the table, you may still want to consider the Lexar. Per Rob Gilbraith testing method, these are the burst numbers for RAW+JPEG for shots taken in 30 seconds on high speed continuous: 56 58 65 71 71 69 The 1000x lexar numbers on Rob Gilbraith's site are 73 - 75 shots in the same 30 second period. So the Lexar is a bit faster. Shooting RAW only on low speed continuous, or JPEGS on high, were not a problem. **************** Edited 4/21/2013 **************** I have to take back what I said about the lexar card. What I needed to do was low level format this Transcend card. And now it's faster than the Lexar. And not by a little bit either. This is what I did: I went to the transcendusa dot com website, selected United States, and in the Support section, on the Download page, downloaded the Autoformat utility. Be advised if you run it in windows, you must right click the utility and run it as administrator. I then did a complete format, which took several minutes (with my card in a card reader). I put the card back in the camera, and formatted it there. Same test conditions as before now net the following burst numbers: 85 84 85 It's faster than the Lexar. But it must be low level formatted using the utility on the Transcend site, then formatted in camera. Please note: the higher the ISO, the lower the burst numbers. I was only able to achieve these numbers at ISO 100. Raising the ISO number consistently reduces the burst numbers. Even at ISO 100, in subsequent testing, I was only able to achieve 84 bursts sometimes. I am trying to nail it down, but I suspect that it is either something to do with exposure or color, or that the card needs to warm up first. I will post any info if I figure it out. Lowest burst number I've been able to achieve since reformatting the card using the utility (at ISO 100) has been 71 shots in 30 seconds.

Tarjeta de rápida escritura para mi Nikon D300, estoy muy contenta con esta compra la verdad.

Great CF card. Decent size storage capacity - been in use almost daily since buying and not a single error. For a CF card, the transfer speed is very quick! Functions as it should, standard design and compatible with most CF products (check there’s no card size limit on your device first)

古いSONYの一眼カメラで使用です（α３５０）。挿入取り出しは問題無し、以前はＳＤカードをアダプター利用にて使ってましたがあまりに遅い為こちらを購入。最初からこちらにすればと買ったと後悔！全てにおいて快適です。ＰＣ取り込みではさほど違いは感じませんが撮影時の取り込みは雲伝の差です。同じ環境の方でしたらおすすめです。

NIKON D3（フルサイズ）用に2枚 購入して 計3枚持ちで撮影（花蝶鳥風月）に出かけておりますが 1枚当たり約400カット行けますので容量的にはまず不足ありません。書き込み速度においてもストレスありません。

Anello importante della catena di ripresa-salvataggio-lavorazione di foto digitali. Quando non puoi fallire la fotografia della vita, questa scheda fa il proprio dovere e senza incertezze. Sufficientemente veloce da supportare la raffica spinta della 7D Mk.II Raccomandata
