A-DATA 16GB Turbo SDHC Class 6 Memory Card Reviews
This card works great with my Nikon D60. All images are set to large. The write speed is very fast. After formating the card I can get over 1,000 RAW images on the card and over 2,000 fine images.
Shot about an hour of footage of visiting grandparents, using both cards to make sure they both work, burned an SD DVD of the proceedings before the grandparents were out the door. What more can I say. Everything works beautifully, everyone is thrilled with the video, daughter is adorable (this was not altered by the purchase of this product :). I have a Panasonic HDC-SD5 that uses SDHC cards. With as little as I spent, this is an amazing value for the money. I formatted both cards in the camera, and less than a minute later, each card is showing me 174 minutes of recording at the highest quality the camera supports. Bought two of these for my daughter's birth.
Don't buy anything from these guys. I would get about 1 GB of video on the card and then I would get errors on 3 different HD camcorders. I sent it in for warranty and magically, ADATA lost it. They make horrible products and then their service BLOWS. This card would not work to capacity in my Panasonic HD camcorder, or any other camcorder that requires sdhc.
No they are not SanDisk. I should rate this product a 1 because of the performance issues, but in the end I was able to use the slower speed part in my Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 camera and it works ok there (no speed grade requirement on that camera). Surely it must be because the parts are marginal and they are not testing all corner cases. Cannot record in FXP mode".
Now I am going to order another 16GB card. Watch out. Update: the two Transcend 16GB parts were recognized my the HF-100 just fine Ha. There are lots of ways to cut cost in production, but in the end it comes to quality. In conclusion, if you want a 16GB part and are willing to take some risk on performance (speed/integrity) this might be the part for you. I got a speed grade class 2 (slow) even though package says class 6 (fast). I get a nasty popup on the view finder "Class 2 memory.
I am certain that every part that leaves the factory is tested, that is normally how semiconductors are fabricated, so why then did the part I receive not meet spec. May be inferior product. But the HF-100 recognized a Transcend 8GB card I had laying around as a class 6, so maybe the 16GB will be ok too. I put them in (one at a time -duh) and the HF-100 reports one card as CLASS 6 -Yeah., but the other as CLASS 2 -Boo. This time I will try Transcend. A real disappointment for me as the HF-100 needs class 4 or better to record in FXP mode. I can't help but throw in the specutation on how they are able to get such a great cost and beat the competition: buy reducing quality, accepting more marginal parts in their test programs, and use tier II foundaries. After I loose all my vacation videos and pics I may reconsider my penny pinching tactics though -we'll see.
Bummer. I know I am taking some risk with Transcend too, but I just can't bring myself to fork out the dough for SanDisk. If you absolutely need Class 6, and cannot be bothered to ship things back when they don't work - like me, or are very concerned about data integrity, you may want to go with a more well known supplier who has an established qualty record and name to uphold. I bought two of these A-DATA 16GB Turbo SDHC "Class 6" memory cards for my Canon Vixia HF-100 camcorder. So I manage to salvage a bad situation. Certainly companies like SanDisk who have a much broader business at risk would not risk lowering quality standards to achieve short profit gains.
I down loaded several GB of power point, word, and PDF files and it all works well. I bought this for my HP iPAQ 111 and it works just fine.
