Product Description
Transcend’s 133x CF cards target users who demand superior performance and reliability from their memory cards, including professional photographers, reporters and photography enthusiasts. To ensure ultimate compatibility and speed, these cards operate in both dual-channel and Ultra DMA mode 4 modes*, making consecutive shooting and non-stop video recording with today’s high-performance digital single lens reflex cameras (DSLR) easier than ever. With impressive transfer speeds and enormous capacities up to 32GB, users are guaranteed to get the very best performance results from their high-tech digital equipment.
Designed from the ground up for speed and reliability, Transcend’s 133x CF cards feature built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) to automatically detect and correct errors during data transfer, which prevents data corruption and missing files. During the manufacturing process, Transcend uses only brand name MLC NAND Flash chips and premium quality components to ensure robust, long-life durability and guaranteed performance. For further peace of mind, all CF cards are comprehensively tested for compatibility as well as reliability, and carry Transcend’s renowned Lifetime Warranty.

I can't actually believe you can get 16GB of CompactFlash storage for less than £35 these days! But I agree with the positive reviews for the product. I too have a Canon EOS400D SLR camera, and this card is perfect. To test the writing speed, I set my camera to manual, the quality to RAW (which means the data gets written to the card at absolute top quality, with no compression, and just as the camera sensor sees it), and held my finger down on the shutter button. Twenty shots later, I released the button expecting the camera to take ages to write the data to the card, but it didn't. It was so quick I had to check to be sure! It had recorded all the photos with no problems.
Even shooting with RAW, you can store approx 1500 photos on this card.
Anyway, don't believe the negative reviews, this product is fantastic!
Just a quick update on this card. I remember one of the reviewers saying that they had problems getting the full 16gb from this card. I think I know why. I formatted the card myself in the EOS400D camera of which I spoke in my review, and it could only manage to format it to 8GB. This is a bit of an odd drawback of the Canon camera, as I can easily fill the whole 16gb with photos, no problem. Anyway, if you do happen to format your card using the camera and you can only use 8GB, go into Microsoft Windows (or your preferred operating system) and remove the partition using Disk Manager. Then create and format a new partition for the whole 16gb. Simples!

I bought this card to use in my Canon EOS 40d and it has worked perfectly so far.
It is fast enough to take a burst of shots on the jpeg + Raw setting @ 6.5 frames per second with no loss of speed that I could detect.
Read speed is also fast as it only takes a short time to download a large number of jpeg + raw files onto the PC with no read/write errors so far.
I have just ordered a second camera body (EOS 50d) and I am so impressed with this card that I have ordered the 32gb version of this card to go with it.
All in all this is an excellent card that does everything the manufacturers claim, and it does it well
Highly recommended.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this card for my Canon EOS 400D, and I was pleased to see when I turned the camera on that it cheerfully displayed "1587" to show me how many raw shots could be recorded before I'd have to change cards. Woohoo!
Having bought a 2Gb SanDisk Extreme IV with the camera, I didn't want to spend a fortune on spare cards so I did some research on the web to find out exactly how fast a card needs to be before the write speed of the camera falls short of the card and you are paying for "unused extra speed". I have found it difficult to find accurate sources on the web but it seems that a 133x card should be more than adequate for storing data as fast as an EOS 400D can supply it. Which of course means a less congested buffer and more shots in a row in burst mode!
I have done some simple tests with this Transcend card compared to my Extreme IV, and superficially at least there is no appreciable difference in performance. I have read that the larger memory address space of high capacity cards can slow down data writing slightly as compared to smaller cards, so I will not be going higher than 16Gb. I will be buying a few more of these babies before I go off around the planet!
** Update follows (26 Mar 09) **
Since writing this review I have upgraded to the delicious Canon EOS 40D (see my review on the kit version for the low-down).
The performance of the Canon EOS 40D with the Transcend 133x 16Gb card is noticeably poor compared to both the 2Gb and 4Gb versions of the SanDisk Extreme IV range. Since I do a lot of high speed shooting, I therefore sold my Transcend card with my Canon EOS 400D.
So, if you are a 400D/Rebel user, this card will do fine speed-wise and it is a LOT of storage at a low price. However if you are a Canon 40D user, and you want the full shooting speed, you will probably want a faster card. I have recent reviews on the 2Gb and 4Gb SanDisk Extreme IV cards which will help you decide how fast your cards need to be.
