Transcend 16GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 SPD CLASS 6) with Compact Card Reader

I had a need for a bigger sdhc card for my eee_pc, knew that 16G was a recently-introduced maximum size, and found the price of this item to be attractive. Shipping and delivery was prompt, a good transaction.

This is a great product for those who want to store HD content using their camcorders or for any device that has a SDHC slot. First, I record with my Canon HF100. Second, I take out the card of my camcorder when I am done with it. Third, the card goes into the connected card reader via USB port. Finally, connect... and I find my files to edit or whatever. Very good. Buy it!

It's getting pretty surreal how much stuff can be crammed into a card the size of a 2p coin (or a US quarter) - and this card is about the best deal ever seen in terms of bytes per buck - 16GB on a card costing the equivalent of £26 at the time (exchange rates notwithstanding).

It's expanded the storage of my EeePC to 36GB all told - enough for days of video or weeks of MP3s. It's pretty nippy too - clocks at about 20MB/s transfer rate, as good as a medium vintage hard drive.

AND it comes with a mini USB-SDHC reader for free - bargain!

I have a 14.6MP Pentax K20D and shoot in RAW which produces some large files. The adequate 1GB and 2GB SanDisk Ultra II's I was using in the old 6MP K100D suddenly seemed tiny.

I watched prices of memory cards on Amazon for a while, and picked up this one (and 2 x 8GB cards with reader) to go with the 4 x 4GB Transends (and some Kingston and Lexars) I had. The combos were on sale for cheaper than the card-only price. I don't do much "burst" shooting, but I have not noticed any write-time issues.

The card reader is nice and compact, and replaces a larger and USB-cabled SanDisk reader I had been using. Some people wondered if you can copy to the card through the reader. Yes, you can.

I think I'm set for memory cards, now.

I am using this with Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder to record HD video. The card is perfect for this purpose being fast and having large capacity. I absolutely love the SDHC Reader since the transfer os many gigabyte files from the card is very fast and convenient.
