Anyone uses SimpleTech 256MB on G2?

seafan · Apr 22, 2002

What's your experience with this CF card on G2? I just read the customer reviews of this card on amazon.com here:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/electronics/B0000630TO/customer-reviews/ref=br_lfncs_p_3/ref=cm_rev_all_2/102-8828961-1140155

they are quite mixed - some say it's great, some say it's very slow, one even got everything frozen up. How does it perform on G2? (especially multiple continuous shots)?

thanks,

Jason

I just receive the simpletek 256mb from amazon last week and the speed is just comparable to the oem canon that came with the camera, no difference I think. I was hoping it to be a lot faster but still a good buy for $60.>

Just curious as to how you got it for $60. I just clicked on the Amazon link and it shows this:
List Price: $129.99
Our Price: $99.99
You Save: $30.00 (23%)

I have 3 each 128 MB SiliconTech (later bought by SimpleTech) and they work fine.

Thanks, Gus

I have been using one for several months without any incident. Speed is fine for my usage, but I don't generally shoot in continous mode.

I would not hesitate to buy another.

Best regards,

gus,

A couple of weeks ago they had it for $99 free shipping and with the simpletech $30 dollar rebate.

Have the card for few weeks now and used it a few times in the continous H mode... works fine... takes about 5-10 sec to flush to card...

they even now have a $20 rebate if you buy a $25 card reader with the card now.
