Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
ByteStor HS cards have been designed for high (3M+) mega-pixel cameras or devices where a high write speed in required. 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. Carry a wider selection of music (at higher quality) for your MP3 player. Store more data and backup important files on your PDA.
Standard CompactFlash has a write speed of 600KB/x (4X) to 1.2MB/s (8X). ByteStor HS cards have a write speed of 6.1MB/s (40X).
A digital camera has a cycle time. This is the time it takes to save the picture, before the next shot can be taken. With a higher speed card this time is shorter, therefore the user has less time to wait between shots. This is crucial in a fast moving environment such as sport.
ByteStor HS will work in any CompactFlash compliant devices.
ByteStor Hi-Speed CompactFlash cards are produced to the highest standards using high quality components to ensure compatibility and reliability. Extra memory cards will maximise the potential of your digital device.
NB :(*1X = 150KB/s based on the CDROM scale). Actual results are dependant on the type of camera and settings. Speed is approximate.

My Canon EOS350D would take 14 continuous shots at 3fps with my old 256M Viking CF, then spend ages writing them.
With this Bytestor card, it will shoot continuously - the card can keep up with writing best quality Jpegs (around 3.5Mb a pop) at the full 3fps the camera can shoot at. I got 70 shots in one go before getting bored trying to find the limit!
Excellent bit of kit - highly recommended.

I bought this to replace a standard-speed (8-12x?) Viking 512Mb card for use with my Canon EOS300D. The write times on the Bytestor seem perhaps 20% faster than the Viking in this camera - not as fast as you might expect just from the card speed ratings, but as I understand it the limitation is the camera's transfer rate, so one would see a lot more benefit in a newer DSLR. I think it's worth having a card that is a bit "futureproof", and this is a very good price indeed, but just worth being aware the write speed you achieve may in practice be limited by your camera.
Incidentally, first card was DOA but Amazon exchange was quick and painless.

Bought the Bytestor 1Gb hi speed Compactflash card for use with a Fujifilm S7000. Main selling point was the speed, and that I expect a solid state device like this to be more reliable than a microdrive. Amazon price very good at less than 100 ukp, and of course Amazon use Royal Mail (much better than 'courier' companies in my experience). Results so far have been excellent. Card is fast and reliable - pretty much exactly what you need from storage media that might hold your entire set of holiday pictures! Recommended.

Improves performance on the D70

Yeh
Does what it says. Works in my Fuji S7000 and the write time isn't that bad at all. You have to be really impatient if you want it done instantly. Read more
