Manufacturer's Description
ByteStor Hi-Speed SD Cards are designed to save data faster, so you spend less time waiting between shots especially in hi-res mode. Take longer movies at higher quality for smooth playback on your camcorder or digital camera. Read and save data faster on your PDA, perfect for large applications. Results are dependant on the model and settings of your device.

You are able to 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. You can 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, as It can sometimes be difficult and time consuming to delete unwanted shots from your camera on the move.You can also save more data, games and images with your picture mobile phone, and you have the ablilty to carry a wider selection of music (at higher quality) for your MP3 player.

Since this card is produced using industry standard (SLC) technology compatibility and reliability issues are dramatically reduced.

Customer Reviews

Works fine
Works fine, no problems in the 6 months I've had it. If you are looking to do professional work or snap a lot of photos in short amount of time you will need to spend a bit more because it doesn't seem to write to the disk particularly quickly (at least not on my Canon Powershot). Very good value for money though.

Not so hot long term investment
Bought this SD card for my Canon IXUS 55 camera based on the reviews and how good it was said to be. In its early life I would strongly agree. It was quick to write the information, it stored the images well and was great for the price. 5 months down the line and after a fair amount of use the problems have started. It now seems to lock, distort images and comes up with a message saying that the data is currupt. This would include new shots as well as previous shots that were ok before but now are no longer assesable. I can't trust it, so feel forced to buy another card which I can be safe in saying will not be a ByteStor. I guess the solution is to always have a spare whatever the make and best that they are different makes too.

Disappointing
The price of the memory cards on Amazon are amazing compared to the prices on the high street. I ordered the card yesterday morning and received it with this morning post. I don't know much about the quality of memory cards having just acquired my first digital camera (bought on the high street at a much higher price!!). I did not want to pay £50 for a 512MB memory card if I could get one for under £20. I tried the card as soon as I got it and it got stuck in my camera although I know it's the right card for it. I got a 'memory card error' message. I managed to dislodge it without force and without damaging my camera. I am sending back the memory card today and I will (unfortunately) be buying a card on the high street!
