Not recommended for HD 1080 video, good for still photos: Excellent card for still image capture, but HD 1080 video capture is choppie and unacceptable - the write speed is not fast enough (6 mb/sec). I'll save this card for stills, but have ordered a 30mb/sec class 10 card for video… More reviews

Affordable, reliable and FAST.: The packaging was really "frustration free". No cutting, chopping, cursing, swearing and bleeding involved.
I've had the card for a year now. No issues at all. No corrupt data or read errors. The card is pretty fast since it is class 6. It is actually cheaper than other class 6 cards out there yet performs the same. Take a look at this hardware benchmark… More reviews

Great value: I use this card in a Canon Vixia HF200 camcorder. 1080 videos shot at 30fps require class 6 speed, and this card delivers nicely.

Works as advertised: Nothing to complain about. It's large enough and fast enough to do the job, and it hasn't failed yet. More reviews
