I bought 2 of this, so now I have 8 gb for a low-cost price This is a great SDHC memory card, very fast, and compatible with my NIkon D80.And the price. so low-priced that you can't let this opportunity get away.
Suggest inquiry before purchasing to make sure description is what you're getting. This rating is not a reflection on the product. The picture and written review for this product indicated it was a 4GB class 4 memory card, but received a 4GB class 2 memory card. Contacted seller who then advised me that Amazon made the mistake by posting wrong product information.
I tried to fix it, trashed it afterwards.At least it came with a nice SDHC-to-USB thingy, which I am using with my other cheaper cards. it was a good card. just one day its block switch broke, don't know the reason, don't care for one.
I have also subsequently used exclusively 1GB and 2GB SD cards in the Marantz and had no problems at all--not a single crash. Later that night, I tried several of the cards and experienced the same problem. I have subsequently used these cards exclusively for photography (Nikon D80) and have had no problems at all. I'm a journalist that works with both radio and photo. I have heard anecdotal evidence of other audio professionals having similar problems with this particular card, though I have not heard it first hand. The card seems to do well with large quick bursts of data (photos), but for an application like audio recording, which involves a medium sized steady flow of data, they perform much poorer. I recently bought this card (four of them) to use with Marantz's latest solid state recorder (PMD-661). On my initial outing using these cards for audio, the recorder crashed 4 times in the course of a 1 hour interview--a serious problem.
However, whether I got real sandisk or not, they seem to work good. Their pictures of the card says class 2, but their picture of the same card in its packaging says class 4. They don't seem to care about others copying their products:-(http://www.sandisk.com/Corporate/Default.aspx.CatID=1147 It is hard to tell if the Sandisk UltraIIs are class 2 or class 4 devices. But they are listed for the same speed.
