Title: Reliable Card, Speed Irrelevant
Review: (...) Lexar makes a very reliable card, and they do stand behind the product. However the Write-Acceleration (WA) technology this card uses to promise 40x write speed only works with a select few cameras. Otherwise it's about the same as a 12X. The bigger point is that these speeds are almost totally irrelevant unless you're a professional sports photographer. If the photo writes to your card in 2.5 seconds instead of 3.0, will it change your life? Also, the read speed (for viewing and downloading) is all about the same. There are three good reasons to buy this card:1. Lexar is a very reliable name brand.2. Price.3. WA technology may be good to have in the future.The card-reader bundled with this card works, but is cheap and not 100% reliable. Better to buy a nice multiple format card-reader if you want one. The Image Rescue software bundled with the card is okay, but similar (and slightly better) freeware is available on the Net.
