• Review: The card seems to be functioning with my Nikon D40, but I cannot access the
  software for repairing problems with it. To access the software on the website
  you need the serial number. The packaging on this model does not have a
  serial number like the one shown in the instructions on the website.
  
  The tech service people do not seem to understand my problem after I have written
  three times. They keep sending me solutions that require a serial number that I
  told them I do not have.
  
  If I cannot even get them to understand a simple request about getting the software,
  I would hate to have to deal with a serious problem.

• Review: I'm using this in a Panasonic ZS3 and I have no complaints, I can shoot video with it no problem. Just make sure you're getting class 6 (which this is) or better. Haven't tried the card reader, it was just a throw-in since there wasn't much price difference betweeb the card with or without it.

• Review: So you're looking at buying this, which means you're looking for the memory card and the reader.
  
  Given the current Amazon prices are ~$5 different between the model with the card reader and just the card, this means the card reader costs you approximately $5, right?
  
  Well, you get what you pay for.
  
  The card itself is fast, both in writing from a Canon XSi DSLR camera and in reading from the included card reader. The capacity is 8 GB (less in actual use thanks to formatting the device). I can take the quoted fastest frames per second (3.5 fps) with this card, unlike the generic 2 GB SD card I have. The Class 6 speed really seems to help.
  
  
  Now the card reader itself... it's VERY cheaply built. It doesn't feel like it will break if you drop it, but it doesn't seem like it would take much to damage it either. The memory card sticks out of the reader which is a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it. It's easy to remove the card from the reader. It just takes some lining up on your part to ensure the card is inserted correctly.
  
  
  For a $5 premium? I don't care if the reader is cheaply built. It WORKS and it is cheap. And that's enough for me.

• Review: I wanted to try a larger card than I already had for a Canon XSI and saw this card and reader for close to the same price as just a card. Although I already had some card readers, or the camera itself, to transfer information, this reader looked very small and therefore quite handy. And although I had initially had been looking at memory cards and trying to find out if the information transfer rate would matter with the camera, I finally bought this to try out the card and reader.
  
  I could not find out if the card transfer rates would really make a difference with the camera so I bought this card, which is much larger than my other memory cards.
  
  All I can say is the card works just fine with the camera and the reader, and the reader works just fine with the only Mac I've plugged it into. What was learned is that speed of transfer doesn't appear to matter unless you have a very specific application where you probably already know it matters, and that the card reader will probably work with any, reasonably recent, USB port.
  
  I give the card and reader 100% and may by the set again.

• Review: It is working perfectly. Now I can read SDHD cards (not just SD). Speed and performance of memory card is excellent (for Rebel T1i).
