Great Class 2 card, but make sure you have an SDHC reader.Jun 03, 2008
By Corry Retzke Please note that this is a Class 2 card (Class 6 is the current "top of the line"). Class 2 transfers two mega-thingies per second rather than the six mega-thingies per second for Class 6 cards.
This transfer rate is fine for most devices, but takes 3 times as long to copy files back and forth from your computer.
Please also note that older card readers are not able to handle SDHC (HC stands for "High Capacity"). Some card readers are good for only 1 GB, some go up to 2 GB or 4 GB, but only the latest generations are capable of 8 GB.
Lastly, if you are using Windows XP, you may need to either add Service Pack 3 or add a patch before the high capacity card can be recognized by your system.
I recommend adding the patch rather than SP3. Some things haven't been working quite right since I installed the latest service pack from Microsoft - you may not wish to take that chance...

Sandisk 8GB SD Memory Card Works WellMar 26, 2008
By Paul E. DuBois Jr. This memory card from Sandisk works just as expected. The quality of the pictures loses nothing and yet the amount of photos stored is immense!
Note: Be aware that not every digital camera has the capability to read memory cards above a certain ceiling (my Canon Powershot SD630 can only read memory cards up to 2gb), so make sure your camera is capable.
I use this memory card for my Canon Powershot G7. With the shooting function on Manual, recording pixels at M1 (2816x2112, enough quality for an 8x10 printout), compression at Superfine, I can take a max of 1915 photos or 64'50" of video at 1024 High Resolution. At around $50, this is a good price, although I'm sure in 10 years we'll have 1tb memory cards for the same inexpensive price and this comment will be scoffed at for being sooo from the '00's.
I'd recommend this product to anyone who will be traveling for an extensive time and won't have the chance to dock to a computer and upload their pictures.

Lots of Memory for My CameraJun 11, 2008
By Yousuf Mamsa 8GB is more than enough for my Canon PowerShot. I recently went to New York City for vacation and took more than 250 plus pics with the best pixel quality the camera could provide and still had more than enough memory left. Highly recommend this product. You don't need to carry any extra memory.

DOA. No WarrantyFeb 04, 2011
By bsbuster BEWARE: This is what bulk packaging means for Sandisk: it has no warranty. Zilch. That's the answer I got from them. When I asked if the reseller was authorized to sell the product, they said they don't know, nor do they care, even though I provided an invoice from the seller.
I've bought CPUs, optical drives, hard disks in bulk packaging. All of them came with full warranty. This sounds like an outlet for cards that don't pass QA for Sandisk. I'm shocked that a name brand will do this.

8 gig SDHC card works very well!Mar 25, 2008
By A. Apars
"Oakville"
I purchased this memory card for a new Kodak camera that records short clips in HD. Card works well with the product and there are no issues with the capacity. The short clips are high quality...very happy.
