Does exactly what it says on the tin
I use this for my Hitachi digital camera, and it works fine. It is somewhat better than other makes, such as Kodak and Transcend. It is reasonably fast, too. One thing I did notice was that some of the card's memory is used to run it, so you are left with around 1.78Gb. I haven't had any trouble with it at all. If you're a beginner photographer, I would recommend this. Like other SD cards, you can lock the card via the switch on the side, which prevents data from being lost. It can also be used for PDA's and other accessories (I haven't used it for this). It also, although it isn't important,looks quite nice. It is a bit better than SDHC cards (normally 4Gb or above), as SD cards are widely used. But, before buying this, make absolutely sure your device is compatible with SD cards.

There are better, faster SD cards available, and if you're an expert photographer, you may want to go for Sandisk's extreme 3 memory card range (at the time of this review, extreme 3 cards are available for around £12), but for this price, these cards are fantastic.

Quick note about packaging
If bought from memorycapital: This memory card is fine but it arrives in a small plastic case in an envelope rather than in a proper sealed packet so may be an issue if being given as a present.

Limited storage space
I found that I was only able to store approx 150 photos on this 2GB SD card even though the 'Properties' screen showed ample free storage space. I had copied the photos from a USB flash drive - they were a mix of digital photos and scanned prints, although I don't think any of the files were unusually large. I did not get a message that the card was full only that the files could not be copied.
