    Kingston 4GB CF Cards $30 - anyone use them?
    I just saw in one of my deal-finder feeds that the Kingston 133x Ultimate 4GB CompactFlash Card is only $30 bucks after rebate.

    Has anyone used this card before? Is it good for getting a lot of shots in a very short time (as in covering auto racing)?

    The reviews look good, and the price looks even better. I have never used this card before, but I'm tempted to buy a couple for a trip out west. I do have one older 1gb Kingston card, and I haven't had any problems with it. I use it more for a backup now that I have added a couple larger cards.

    They have a Kingston Ultimate on www.newegg.com for $55. The photo of the card isn't the same, but the description says Ultimate 133x. This looks like a pretty good deal to me.

    i use a kingston sd card, no problems so far. It's slow, but it may be because it's really a microsd that I use with an adapter. that way I can stick it in my phone if needed.

    I've used a bunch of Kingston cards and they've all worked fine. Canon always includes them with the cameras they send us for review.

    Card speed is nice. But your camera is more important when you're actually taking pictures. The card speed is more noticable when you're transferring images to your computer, deleting them, or formatting your card.

    Kingston, in my opinion, is probably the second best Memory Card manufacturer. Second only to Sandisk. :P

    133X is a great speed for taking multiple photo's at high fps rates - provided your camera is write accelerated capable and can use the speed. That's a great deal for a 4GB , 133X card.

    I have the 1 and 2 gig 133x, and they rock. I have had no prblems at all, and they are super fast.
