Manufacturer's Description
ByteStor Secure Digital cards are manufactured to the highest standards using high quality components to ensure compatibility and reliability. A Hi-Speed SD card will maximise the potential of the latest digital devices. Can be use in any SD Compliant device.

A Hi-Speed card is essential for high-mega pixel cameras. Spend less time waiting between shots, especially in fast moving scenes such as sport. Take longer movies at a higher quality, for smooth playback on your camcorder or digital camera. Read and save data faster on your PDA perfect for large applications.

Since the ByteStor Hi-Speed card is produced with industry standard technology compatibility and usage issues are dramatically reduced. Shoot more pictures on holiday where downloading may be impractical. (If your memory card becomes full on holiday, you cannot re-use the card without downloading the current images first). Capture more hi-resolution images. (Taking pictures on the highest setting will give you the option for larger prints compared to the normal or basic setting). Take more multiple shots and select the best ones when practical. (It can sometimes be difficult and time consuming to delete unwanted shots from your camera on the move). Spreading images across two or more cards in case a card is lost on holiday. Save more data, games and images with your picture mobile phone. Carry a wider selection of music (at higher quality) for your MP3 player.

Customer Reviews

Great Price!
This is a fantastic price for such a lot of memory on an SD card - and a high speed one at that!

I would defy anyone to find 512MB at a better price with Amazon's quality of service.

Definitely worth it if you're in the market for a new SD card!

Quality product
I have two of these 512MB cards and they work great in my Nikon Coolpix 5200 Digital camera. I have been using them for about a year now and have encountered no problems at all, the pictures store quickly once taken allowing you to shoot another one pretty much straight away and they transfer to my PC with no data loss.

Disappointing loss of data
I bought two Bytestor Hi-Speed cards, a 512MB and a 256MB.
I used the 512MB on holiday, and found that a handful of the photos became corrupt. As I'm new to digital photography I assumed it might be normal for data to become corrupted occasionally.
I then used the chip a few months later on a two week trip to Japan and was very disappointed with it - I would estimate that around a quarter of my pictures became corrupted, either immediately after I took them (which at least meant I could take another shot) or sometime later (which meant the picture was irretrievably lost). Maybe I've just been unlucky, as I've not had such problems with the 256MB chip (although even that chip has corrupted a few photos), but I certainly wouldn't buy Bytestor again as holiday photos are too precious to risk.
