Pros: Reliable, Fast Transfer

Best Uses: Digital Photography

Describe Yourself: Professional

I always buy Transcend Flash Cards. The price is great and they have never let me down.

Most digital photographers don't understand that higher speed cards don't allow any faster shooting until your camera buffer is full. They they will store the images in the buffer to the card faster. In normal shooting, I never even come close to filling the buffer, so I don't need the super fast cards.

Sports photographers who use the burst mode on their camera a lot may need the fastest cards they can get, and then the card speed is critical.

The other place that a faster card helps is downloading your images to your computer. However, once you get to 133x like this Transcend card, the USB port can't handle the transfer much quicker anyway, so it doesn't make much difference. You can buy special card readers that will speed up this transfer when used with their own higher cost brand of card.

All in all, I have complete trust that Transcend flash cards are the best you can buy, regardless of the cost.
