User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Never ending memory
This was one of the cheapest 8GB chips out there with Class 6 speed.

You want the fastest possible speed and even at that it takes a while to download lots of pictures – can’t imagine how long the slower ones take – so don’t get anything less than the highest class available.

On the plus side, running out of memory is never a problem any more if you take pictures.

5 Stars Wow! An essential for digital photographers using SDHC cameras
All I can say is WOW! We have sure come a long way in a short time. This little 8GB SDHC memory card is all one could ask for in an SDHC card. In my Nikon D80 it lets me take hundreds and hundreds of pictures. Speaking subjectively, the write speed seems to be faster than the camera’s buffer, so that the card is not a bottleneck when taking a long series of continuous photos.

The ONLY thing I disliked about this card was the packaging. It comes in that hard-plastic type of container that can literally blunt the edge of one’s knife or scissors. Or worse, when trying to open it it would be possible to damage the card itself. Why do retailers do this? Also, the card did not come with a little plastic card container. These are minor quibbles.

Two or three of these inexpensive cards, and one would have enough photo capacity for any vacation. I love the digital age!

4 Stars A great buy, but….
there’s just a few caveats.

First, be aware that the card does NOT come with a case. This may or may not matter to you, but it seems like deception by omission that no one informs you. I bought this card along with the 4 GB card for my DSLR, and it ended up being a serious issue for me, since I can only have one card in my camera at a time, and the other card is left unprotected.

Second, the 8GB card is oh-so-slightly thicker than other SD cards (the 4GB is fine). This means that it gets stuck in SD card slots (or at least, it does on my Canon XSi), but all it takes is a little pushing and jiggling, and it comes out every time.

Finally, be aware that although it is rated Class 6, it isn’t quite as fast as the pricier alternatives. I had never encountered a delay when shooting in burst, but when I used the Transcend cards, my camera was incapacitated for a good 10 seconds after shooting a burst of 8 shots or so.

However, even with these issues in mind, I thought the card was an excellent purchase. At one point, Amazon offered this same card with a memory card reader for only a dollar more, which would have been the ultimate deal, but I’ll settle for this. It works, it’s cheap, and I would certainly recommend it.

Still, I’ve only had the card for about a month, and you never know about quality……

5 Stars Buy it
Works as it should, holds tons of pictures, and is cheap. What’s not to like?

5 Stars Very good product.
I recently bought two of these 8GB SDHC cards, one for my Canon SD1000 camera and the other for my COWON D2. The cards work very well and I’ve had no problems with it so far. I even use it for videos and there is no delay. In my D2 it works flawlessly. This is a high quality SDHC card and is cheap.

Pros:

- Lifetime warranty

- Class 6 read/write speed (the fastest speed currently available)

- Affordable

Cons:

- None

I’m thinking of buying the 16GB version.

it worked like a charm. Very useful and very supportive. It works very well for Sony Vegas and you can get the best quality for your mini dv camera, no strings attached.

5 Stars Very Satisfied with this cable
I couldn’t of been happier with this cable. The one I received was nicer than the one shown, it was exactly what I needed and at a greatly reduced price. I looked all over town and could find one even went to the JVC online store not there. This is the best can’t beat the price. Don’t understand why they don’t include this cable with the camera but on well. I recommend you don’t look further get it now.

5 Stars Not a bad Step Up
I purchased this product because I was looking for something more than just the iphoto my Mac comes with. I can tell that I have opened the door to a whole new world. This product was cheaper than an Adobe Pro program and better than Photo shop Elements. I am overal happy with my purchase and I look forward to getting all that I can out of this.

5 Stars Aperture Vs Nikon Capture NX2
I used the trial version of Aperture and Nikon Capture NX2 back to back for about a month. Both are great programs and I believe I would be happy with either. Ultimately I choose Aperture for its familiar interface and believe Apple will continue to ensure compatibility with OSX for a long time to come. Nikon support is excellent but their new proprietary RAW format that works only with Microsoft Windows took me by surprise. Not that I am affected because so far the new RAW format is only on their point and shoot cameras, I still felt slightly betrayed and uncertain what the future relationship with Apple will be. I figure no matter what happens I will still be able to use the same software to catalog and edit my photos.

5 Stars Thoroughly Pleased with Aperture 2
I am an amateur at best and I took advantage of both free trial offers from Aperture 2 and LightRoom. Although LightRoom was similar, to me there was no comparison. I went into it with no experience and was totally objective in my opinion and found Aperture to be much much better. Used the same photo in both and consistently got better results in Aperture, with a more seamless flow to the work. One mans opinion !!

5 Stars A MUST HAVE
APERTURE 2 for MAC is a complex program. You will need to get a large detailed manual, or better yet, sign up for some classes at your Apple store. There are plenty of photo editing tools, all of the usual ones plus plenty more, allowing you to be as creative as you want to be. But probably the main purpose of this program is a way to organize and categorize your images within Aperture. In iPhoto, I have so many copies of the same image in so many folders, and sometimes the one I want is still hard to find. Aperture gets you away from folders. It takes time to do it right, but when you do, finding the image you want is a breeze. You assign various keywords to each image, whichever ones are appropriate for you, and as many as you want per image. When you complete that project, you can search by any keyword, and all of the images you have assigned that keyword to will show up. It couldn’t be easier. But you will need help in getting this done so you do it right. I take classes at my Apple store, the One-to-One classes.

5 Stars Graduated from iphoto
Quick access to photos for very easy modification. Much more editing, organizing, and viewing options then iphoto and is worth the $$. Iphoto was too basic plus it did not provide and option for use with an external editor like PT Lens. I have used Photoshop Element, ACDC and like Aperture the best.
