[+] 8.0 Does what it's supposed to...
Good value for little money. I use it in my canon rebel xsi and it works flawlessly so far. It was the best price on an 8gb sd card I could find.

[+] 10.0 Transcend media ... the Low Cost Champion
This Transcend media combines excellent speed and high capacity to deliver an exceptional product for quality video recording. Increased video recording capabilities in most camcorcorders today demand storage media that is well suited for delivering a playback product that lives up to the advertised features of the camera. This product delivers.

[+] 8.0 Does OK
I am starting to notice some delay in processing pictures. Now I am not sure if it is this or the camera (Canon Rebel XS). But I will go get another memory card to test. The package is a nightmare to open. Capacity has not been an issue. Hope this helps.

[+] 10.0 Transcend SD Memory
I have used this brand before and find it is great for the price. The type 6 was preferred due to the speed of the application. I have had 4 Transcend memory sticks over the past 12 months (CF and SD) and all have worked flawlessly at speeds necessary to keep up with a multiple high speed sequence shooting using a Canon Rebel Digital. I highly recommend this brand as it is great for the price with the reliability to match.

[+] 10.0 Awesome deal
This card is a really really good deal. I went to the supermarket and they were trying to sell 2GB cards for $15. I bought this 8GB card from Amazon for my underwater digital camera, and was able to use the highest pixel settings. I could save my pics with really good resolution. My camera, which normally would have taken around 200 pictures was able to take over 600+! (I don't actually know the maximum that my camera can hold because for my entire week long trip, I never once had to change my memory card. I felt bad for my poor friend who had to keep switching out her 2GB cards.

The price Amazon offers for this card (currently approx $25 with free shipping is totally worth it.)

[+] 2.0 Never Worked
Originally I bought this for my GPS, but the GPS refused to recognize it. Tried formatting it using different softwares but never got it working. Tried it on a few laptops equipped with HDSD readers, but to no avail.

I would not recommend this memory to anyone.
Reviewer [A1O54QY7INLBC4] | Date [March 7, 2010]
[+] 2.0 What product?!
I am disappointed in the product in that I never received it. I found a good deal on it through Amazon and elected to utilize the free super saver shipping but the package was empty. The envelope wasn't very heavy and appeared to have sustained damage and opened up sometime during shipping or processing via the USPS. Upon arrival in my mail box, it was inside a seperate "apology" plastic bag from the USPS with no contents. I attempted to resolve the issue through the post office and also sent an email to the vendor prior to this review but met with no success. I PAID BUT NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT - JUST AN EMPTY ENVELOPE!

[+] 4.0 Good beginning, horrible ending
Transcend 32 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS32GSDHC6

I originally bought this to go with a Canon VIXIA HF200 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 15x Optical Zoom. I used it for a month without any issues but I returned the camcorder and kept the memory. It works okay in my Canon digicam too but not in my new "sports" camcorder (GoPro HD hero). The SD card is recognised by my GoPro but as soon as I try to record a clip, it goes for about 5 seconds before crapping out. It seems like the GoPro has trouble writing to the card. Even tried low level formatting this SD card a few times with no luck. The GoPro writes to my Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card with USB Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-P2 without any issues. Fingers crossed for its long term reliability.

Class 6 at a class 4 price. Fast absolutely fast, finally I have a SD card that can keep up with the camera in multi-shot mode.

great product for my nikon camera. Items receive as stated in several days after ordering
Reviewer [AID4XIEF0NEZT] | Date [March 4, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Always satisfied!!!
I don't understand all the negative reviews. I have so many memory cards and I've never had one problem. We have them in 3 cell phones, GPS, 4 Cameras (Digital SLR to pocket cameras), camcorders, digital picture frames and I am sure there are a few more I am not thinking of. This is my third "class 6" card and like all of the others it works great. I bought this card for a new Panasonic Lumix camera. The price was the best anywhere (by far), the shipping was fast, etc., etc., etc. 100% satisfied with Amazon, Transcend, the seller and the card.

[+] 10.0 Transcend SDHC Class C 8GB Card Review
I purchased this card as a backup to the current same Transcend card I now use with my Canon SX110. I have been using the "Transcend" line of memory cards for years in all of my Canon cameras, and have yet to have a single problem with any of them, regardless of the type (Class 6, etc.) With that in mind, I have no problem in highly recommending this card and manufacturer to anyone in need of what I consider a high-quality, Camera-ready Class C memory card.

[+] 10.0 Transcend 8 GB Memory Card
Glad I read the other reviews. The SDHC cards in the local stores were NOT usually class 6, which supports the video function on my new Panasonic digital camera. I'm not a tech weeny, but it seems to work very well on my first test runs.
Reviewer [A2RQEH8BA5SVKP] | Date [February 27, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Very good.
Given that the flesh memory is getting cheaper and cheaper by the minutes It's kinna hard to make a review here. But overall Transcend has the best price/amount of memory ratio. I've been using it for about 6 months now with my digital camera and had no problems what so ever.
Reviewer [A1SM90X6OSTA8W] | Date [February 26, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Works Like a Charm.
I recently purchased a Canon Rebel T1i and wanted a fast card to keep up with action shots. When I first got the camera I purchased some cards from Walmart that were a class 4, when using the continuous shooting mode the class 4 could only handle about 5-6 shots before my camera had to wait for the card to catch up. Today I put in this Class 6 Transcend card and it shot non stop for over 30 pics (I didn't want to keep going). I have never used the more expensive brands so I am not sure how this compares to those but for the needs I have and the price I paid this can not be beat. Shipping only took a few days too. Great product.
Reviewer [A3S69H4H0FIMO3] | Date [February 26, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Good service, quick delivery, great product.
I needed a card for my GoPro HERO helmet cam. It works great and no problems.
Reviewer [A1G5DSP3QZB17Q] | Date [February 25, 2010]
[+] 10.0 So far So good
At first I was thinking about getting a small USB porter to go with it, but since I really don't need to ever take it out of the camera I just use the mini-USB cable whenever I download pictures.
it's cheap, and it's from a brand that I've never had a problem with (pretty sweet, since I love stuff that works). Well built and reliable, survived washer:)))))

[+] 10.0 camera memory
Got it recently, put it into my new camera and voila... pics are stored. Took it out and put it into my computer to download.... No problem. Formated it again in my camera to delete all old pics... Works fine. For the price, well worth it. Bought a lot of cheap ones from China but 85% of them don't work. If it is too cheap, usually a good reason. With these memory card prices dropping a great deal, don't buy the fake cheap ones. Wouldn't want to lose pics of my kids to save another $5 or so....
Reviewer [A19PF5NOD7IUND] | Date [February 24, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Lots of reliable memory for moderate price.

The 3 things you need to check to be sure this will fit your device are 1) the physical size, 2) storage size, 3) class/speed.

Size: there are regular sized chips and "micro" sized chips. This is a regular size, NOT a micro, so if you need a micro size, pass on this. This is about the size of a stamp and the thickness of a quarter, physically, with what looks like a corner cut off.

Storage size: The 8 Gig size is the most my device will handle, so check your device. Smaller will work, but more will be wasted. This gave me over 24 hours of recording time at a high quality recording speed.

Class: The flash chip here is a class 6 (which means it functions at a higher speed [not sure if it's double, just that it's faster overall] than a class 4, which in turn is faster than a class 2).

The "HC" means high capacity, as opposed to earlier models which should be labelled just "SD" without the HC.

I have just reached its full capacity and will be getting another one. You can wipe or delete parts of what you've stored, as with all memory devices, but I'd like to have another blank backup disc. No complaints about this one. I've had it for a little over a year.
Reviewer [A365Q3QLU40Y0E] | Date [February 22, 2010]
[+] 10.0 Good quality for an hour worth of Hi-def video
So far no complaints at all.
Quality is good to take Hi-def video for an hour, for which I used.
Bought at Amazon at times where it was even cheapest to buy this.

I purchased a transcend 8 GB flash card for my new leica. I hate it it totally sucks. I lost two days of pictures one of a newborn baby camel. It just took a dump the pictures where recorded but it lost everything1 I would never trust anything from this company again. This has never happened to me i have used many other brands with much success all over the world. This one is GARBAGE

I've currently owned thi memory card for about a month and it does everything it says it's supposed to! Runs well, plenty of storage for an 8.1 MP camera (Nikon S210). Came packaged nicely and would reccomend to anyone looking for an SD card at a more than reasonable price.

[+] 8.0 Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card
What can you say about a memory card? This thing does what it says it will do, store electronic data. I purchased it for use in a Panasonic high resolution digital camera. It stores the pictures without running out of memory. Then camera battery runs low before the card runs low of space. I believe the camera battery is capable of approximately 300 pictures, while the memory card can store about 400 pictures.
Reviewer [A23E1HP39IZQXL] | Date [February 10, 2010]
[+] 10.0 All that I needed!
This class 6 card is very fast and holds all the pictures and video that we desire. Delivery was very quick and the packaging was exactly as pictured on the website.

[+] 10.0 Works Great in My DMC-ZS3
Got this specifically for use in my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 which records HD in AVCHD-Lite format, which requires a memory card with fast speed and high capacity. I was worried about trying the Transcend brand after reading a lot of horror stories here, but gave it a shot because of the great price.

To be safe, after any day of taking photos and recording video, I immediately move all the data onto my PC and reformat the card. I've been using the card for a few months now and have never experienced any issues with it. I find it so reliable that I just ordered and received my second card.

My bottom line is if you need a fast SDHC card for recording high def video and want to spend as little as possible, definitely consider giving this product a try. However, if you just need a card for snapping casual photos and maybe even recording some standard def video, there's no reason you shouldn't get a more reliable, less expensive SD card.

[+] 10.0 Value for Money
After looking around for SDHC cards in several retail stores, I stumbled upon this card, brought it to be used for my Canon DSLR and Canon camcorder. Initially I was skeptical if this is going to work across camera + camcorder when I interchange it, but it works like a charm. In class 6, this SDHC card is reasonably priced and probably one of the best. I have not had any issues shooting pictures or video (HD quality). Would definitely buy this again.
