 great product and price May 24, 2008
I can do almost 2 hours of video on my digital camera with this card! what a steal at just over $30!
Exceptional value May 24, 2008
Incredible value for the money. Bought two of these to use with Canon Vixia HF100. Both work great. Download is 4 to 5 times faster than real time.
excellent card for HF100 May 22, 2008
I bought this recently for my Canon HF100. This card works fine with that camcorder (i.e. I can record at the highest quality possible - 17Mbps). The thing to note though is HF100 does not really require a card this fast (i.e. Class 6). It requires only Class 4. But then, this card currently is available for about the same price (or less) as any other Class 4 card.. So go ahead and buy this - it works as advertized.
Also about the capacity, for the battery that comes with HF100, there is no significant benefit buying one 16GB Vs 2 of 8GB cards (right now, 2 8GB cards go for $10 less than a 16GB). This is because the battery lasts only about an hour, and an 8GB card is perfect to record video at highest quality setting for slightly over 1 hour. So if you arent planning to buy an additional battery (which is $90 now, because it is too new), I would say get this (or some other) 8GB card. By the time the price for the battery comes down, the 16GB cards would have come down even further, so you can buy 16GB card at that time.
 Does the job, probably destined for obsolescence soon May 22, 2008

Fine, fast, small, inexpensive, works in my Samsung camera and my Asus Eee notebook. However, 16GB SDHC cards are now available for about twice the price through this same very fine Amazon portal. No doubt in a few weeks (or at best a few months) the 16GB card will be available for the same price as this 8GB, given the plummeting price of flash memory.
Canon FS100 identifies as a class 4 and not a class 6 May 22, 2008

Card works good, but my Canon FS100 does not recognize as a class 6 type. The higher the class the faster the transfer rate, and that is important when you are transferring 2 hours of video. Cant beat the price for 8gb now so, it will get me by for now.
