I Hope They Aren't All Like This
Strengths:2GB of storage, Good read/write speed
Weaknesses:Write lock, Thick card
Posted Apr 15, 2007 - I ordered this from a storefront and I suspect I got an older or foreign model. I've never seen packaging like the kind mine came in. Still, I'm pretty sure it's not a knock-off (fake). The first thing I noticed was that it's pretty thick. It didn't go into my camera quite as smoothly as my other card but it fit. The write-protection was originally on so I tried to switch it off. It was not easy. The switch seemed to be glued in place and I thought I would have to open the card and just remove the switch. Eventually I managed to switch off the write-protection at the cost of probably breaking the switch. It moves back and forth very smoothly now and I'm convinced it's now just for show. I haven't used it extensively but I didn't notice any kind of unusual lag while taking pictures or reviewing them with my camera.
Don't take all of my comments as typical though. Again, I'm sure this isn't the same card you'd get if you went to a store right now and bought one.
Did you find it helpful , unhelpful, or inappropriate?
