Kingston 256 MB Secure Digital Card ( SD/256 ) (Retail Package)

Works fine and good price. I've had mine for over two years and it does everything I need it to do. Won't hesitate to buy another in the future.

My request was for a Olympus 360 digital camera digital card. The card
that was sent did not fit. I called the supplier and they agreed to replace it, but we decided to keep it. bravesfan "glenn"

I liked the way I received fast shipment so I could have the data card in my wife's new camera which I bought for her birthday. Would buy from this folks agian.

This tiny thing holds more pic's than I will ever take at one time! (and I'm very pleased with that!)

I purchased 3 of these SD/256 cards to go with my digital camera. While out walking the river, one of the cards slipped from my pocket and landed submerged in a puddle beside the stream...(I carry my extra cards with me because I also shoot video on my camera, which eats up space fast).. The small plastic case was partially open on one corner, so it immediately filled with water. I brought the card home, and figuring it was ruined anyway, rinsed it off under the faucet. After laying the card up and allowing it to dry out for several days, I plugged it in, and suprisingly, it not only still worked, but also still held my past pictures which were stored on it! Because it survived this abuse, I have to say 5 stars, and I will personally look toward this brand in the future!

This product was great for my daughter who is a beginner photographer. My daughter found it to be just the right amount of memory for her camera.
Thanks!

Fast, quality goods at a reasonable price. What more can one ask for.
Kudos

Just Wonderful. No complaints plenty of room for a vacation or camping trip. Theres no lag when reviewing pictures and i've had this item for about 6 months now and still works like brand new. Thank amazon!

The cost plus shipping still beats the sale price
of a similar item at Walmart. Works fine.

I have nothing to compare them to, but I bought 3 of these and they seem to do the job they are intended to do. I was surprised to see no savings on shipping when I ordered 3 vs ordering 1 at a time, although I am now clear on the policy. They still were a bargain, as far as I have compared. I would buy again, from the same vendor.

I received my Kingston 256MB SD card just as advertised.
The unit came in the mail exactly 2 days after I
ordered. Worked perfectly and I'm very satisfied.

I was excited when I received the Kingston 256MB digital card on the scheduled date. It sure has a good packaging and works great.
An item worth having in your electronics line.

I have had no problems with the Secure Digitial Card from Kingston. It has performed properly for my camera and computer for transferring the pictures. Highly recommended

I received it in a timely manner and am pleased with the performance of the product. It may not be a top name brand, but I can't tell any difference. Thank you

I bought this card with my Canon Powershot SD200. The card holds a lot of pictures, more than I expected even with a high resolution setting.

the product is great.. the case where it comes is awesome.. and i can take over 400 pics. with the highest quality supported by the camera.. it's just perfect..
thanks for everything...
maybe i'll need to buy another one in the future for my parents...

I have owned this card for almost a year. I purchased it to use in my Nikon 5600 digital camera. They work great together. The card holds more pictures than I'm ever likely to take at one time. I insert the card into my computer & transfer the pictures. It has never been corrupted or lost data. Have been very satisfied. When I first got it I did as someone recommended that I do, I used it till the card was completely full to test it for problems, and it had none. Very satisfied.

Fommy substituted an off brand AMZER card witrhout notifying me and have now added that little note but are still listed under a Kingston Brand Name card. They did take the product back, I am still waiting for my credit. No money lost, just a week of my time (incluuding ordering from another company and waiting for a second delivery) and 8 emails total.

Beware of KINGSTON rebates!

Of course, I hope your experience would differ, if you were to buy Kingston product(s), but mine was terrible.

I bought a Kingston CompactFlash card that offered a $50 mail-in rebate. I promptly (as in, the day AFTER I received the item delivery) went to photocopy my rebate certificate and UPC code and sales receipt; then sent it all on its merry way. Yes, I was well within the rebate period, both for the purchase AND for the postmark date. My purchase was a valid retailer (think HUGE online e-tailer).

The rebate REQUIRED sending THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL UPC label, which was like the entire outside package for my CF card, about the size of 1 ½ business cards when flattened. No problem.

About TWO MONTHS later, I get a letter saying "your rebate request was denied because you failed to furnish the appropriate ORIGINAL UPC code as required by the rebate offer."

Well, now WHAT? I can't RE-SEND the original (it was already in their possession). I called, and they insisted on repeating what the letter said. I re-sent my PHOTOCOPIES and they said a photocopy is invalid proof of purchase.

After another 6 weeks of pursuing this, I figured this is their scam. They simply wouldn't honor the rebate. And without the ORIGINAL UPC in my possession, I couldn't really submit to their requirements.

If you're looking for a RAM upgrade, I'd suggest you look at a quality company like OCZ (the BEST!), or Patriot, Geil, or Corsair. If you're looking for a value Flash Memory Card, I might suggest SanDisk.

For one, Kingston does NOT make the best products, they are VALUE-driven products.

Two, there are competitors to Kingston with just as good or better value-to-performance ratios at the same prices.

Three, Kingston will not stand behind their customer as I have experienced.

I urge you to, please, be cautious of Kingston and their rebate scams.

This card works great with my MP3 player. Great value for the price and the quality.

I got my daughter a digital camera to take with her on a two week vacation. Our family camera uses compactflash so I knew I would need to get a new card for the camera. This was the perfect price point for our needs and allowed over 300 photos on the 3.2 MP camera.

I was pleased with the speed of the card. It's faster in transferring pictures to the computer and storing pictures to the camera than some of the older compact flash cards we have.

Operation has been flawless for the three weeks we have been using it. Excellent.

Firstly, Amazon has great service. USPS lost the card, and Amazon sent another one, post haste. The card itself works great. It's not the fastest thing out there, but it's definitely not the slowest thing either. For average use, this card is perfect, and for 256 Mb, the price is really affordable. And to top it off, its made by Kingston, who has been in the memory industry since 1987. I recommend this card to every level of user, if you are trying to compromise with price and quality

I purchased this SD card to use in my Magellan Meridian GPS and it has performed well. I formatted it with the GPS and then used my computers card reader to upload map information to it.

If you are looking at buying SD or CF cards, realize that all the main brands and even some second tier (like KINGMAX) work equally well. They all use the same technology and they all have about the same chance for problems. The thing is, 95% of buyers of ANY of these brands will have NO problems and they will work flawlessly for years.

The other 5% will either have a problem right out of the box or within a few months. This is true of ALL brands. For every basher of Kingston, there is a basher of Sandisk, etc etc. Flash memory is prone to have the odd bad unit here and there, so don't give up on a nicely priced brand (or one with a rebate) just becuase you fell in that 5% once.

The best way to protect yourself is to FILL THE CARD with data (pictures, etc) ALL THE WAY TO THE MAX and then try to retrieve that data back in your computer. This will at least run the card through it's paces once and will reduce the chance of finding a bad sector much later in the life of the card. (Yes, one bad sector, way up in the higher memory area, is enough to ruin ALL the photo's on the card). You stil may have problem in a few months if you are part of the 5%, but you will reduce those chances considerably.

So price shop and get the best deal you can. Also worth noting is that oftentimes Kingston allows TWO (2) rebates per household as opposed to the standard one rebate per household (and you should mail the two in the SAME envelope). But don't just take my word for it, read the rebate (if there is one) to make sure of the limit per household.

Anyway, just get your best price and run the card through it's paces when you get it and you should be happy 95% of the time or better.

I bought this card for my Kodak CX7430. 256 mb is more than enough for my needs. I have been using it for a while now and am very pleased with it. The card is easily puts the pictures from my camera onto my computer. There have never been any errors or file corruptions. The memory card is particularly easy for me because I have a slot for it in the front of my CPU. For people who do not have this slot, the camera can hook up to the computer and transfer files from both the internal memory and the card. I recommend Kingston because I have never had a problem with any of their products, and they offer a lifetime warrenty.

Having worked in the memory business, J.Chang is right that Kingston is a large company, but they are the largest memory MODULE maker in the world, mostly for DRAM product. Eugene's comment regarding them being a buyer of chip product is right, and he's also correct from what I've seen in return rates for Kingston, Sandisk, Lexar, etc. in that there are more defects because Kingston does not product their own chips like Sandisk. They only package the product as well as the controller chip (which also they do not make). Samsung, who Kingston purchases from, does not sell cards in the US They only package the product.

Personally, as a consumer, I bought Kingston and Sandisk, and found the data transfer rate to be faster on the Sandisk. I don't dare want to lose a picture from a potential defect, even though the chances of this is low for either product. I'll go with Sandisk from now on.

I just wanted to counter one of the reviewer's posts that Kingston is a no name generic brand. Kingston is the largest independant memory provider in the world. I have this card and it works great.

My sister purchased a Kingston 256 SDs recently for my Optio DSC. I recently purchased a 1 G Sandisk SD for my camcorder (Panasonic SV-AV100) which works very well, but my sister borrows it a lot, and I then use my sister's Optio DSC if I want to take pictures on a night out in town.

Let me say, the delivery by Amazon was on time and great, but that's about where the happiness ends with Kingston product. After taking pictures at my elementary school friend's wedding, I couldn't load the pictures on my computer...I found that the files were somehow ruined through a computer read cycle. Memories..gone just like that. I contacted Kingston who said they would send my sister a new one, but it has been 2 weeks. I am infuriated.

The 32 MB card the camera came with works fine. I'm never buying Kingston again. As an explanation for their lower quality product...i heard that Sandisk actually makes most of their NAND flash chips which is packaged into the card..vertically integrated from top to bottom and in control of manufacturing process, unlike the Generic low-quality brands like Kingston which must buy from Samsung or another foundry. Too many hands touching it = more prone to error.

I'm not going to get some great pictures I took back again. 3 DOLLAR SAVINGS NOT WORTH IT.

I brought this memory card for my iPAQ Pocket PC, mainly to store my music files on. Although this can approximately only hold about 60 songs, its big enough for me. This is a great card that has a good amount of memory, and is very cheap. So cheap that buying several of these are more affordable than buying bigger size cards. Overall, if your looking for a memory card, deffinatly get this.

If you're buying flash memory a good calculation to do is the megabyte per $ ratio. For SD, the 256MB card is the optimum purchase.

I bought this for my digital camera and it has worked great. It holds 200-300 pictures depending on the camera settings I use and whether I take video clips or not. I've transferred files through the camera serial connection and also using an internal card reader. No problems with either. So far, after almost a year, the card has not become corrupted, and i've not lost any data. Also in that time I've used it for my notebook computer and dell axim pocket pc for file transfers and backing up, and it has also performed admirably.

When it comes to these memory cards, the maker matters. Stay away from Sandisk and PNY. Pay a little more and get a more reliable product. Kingston is a good vendor - I have 2 512MB SD cards and a USB2 256MB flash drive all from kingston and they all work great. no i don't work for them either.

This card works great in my Palm Zire 72. All my MP3's and photos are on this card. I'm satisfied.
