I've had no problem shooting Kingston cards for the past 5 years. I use a Canon 5D mkII and 1D mkIV and ran test against a 32gb Lexar 400; the Lexar emptied the 25 shot buffer on the 1DmkIV in 9sec.; the Kingston in 14sec. For my $ and shooting style the faster 5sec. means nothing. Just Saying!

I use this product with my Canon EOS 7D.
I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and I'm experiencing digital dropout with pics, and video. Strange thing, I can copy the same file from the card multiple times with different results. Example: the file will be corrupt when I transfer using my card reader, then I'll copy it again, and it will be fine. Or, a pic will be messed up on the reader, but if I use the camera to copy it over the photo will be fine.
This has been a consistent problem.

Using on the Canon 7d. Works great with both video and stills. It may not be the fastest, but it is reliable, and works!

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
I've been using a 2G CF for years and didn't realize the importance of writing speed versus storage size. I upgraded to this 32GB CF card. My DLSR used to lag when writing RAW files to my 2G card. This card is so fast that I barely even notice the shot was taken. The camera performs so much faster then before. This is a great card for the money.
I've read that people lose data but I haven't experienced this. I bought a CF reader in which the card inserts securely without risk of bending the pins.
The only thing I find odd is that my laptop doesn't show that this card has 32G worth of space on it. It only shows something like 4G which. I've read about this before so I am currently loading up the card to confirm that are 32G of data on it.

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
I normally use high quality compact flash cards for all my work. I'm a professional wedding photographer in VA. I use these cards for my back up photographers. That way if there is ever a loss of data it wouldn't be as bad as if I lost my images. Not that I've ever had that problem.

I purchased this memory card for my Canon 40D.
Since I can't shoot video with the 40D this memory card's speed is fast enough for me.

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
Bought them as cheap extra CF cards for my Canon 7D and 5D mkIII. Mostly recorded in 720 but i can't see that the speed would affect filming in 1080. They aren't the fastest when it comes to data transfer from the card to PC/Mac but they aren't painfully slow. They worked well for backup cards and if you are shooting on the cheap would be good enough cards as your main CF cards as well. (As a side note i only used them for video i do not know how well they would fair in burst shooting modes on the cameras.)

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
I had a generic 4GB memory card. As I needed more space for my camera (Canon 40D), I thought about buying some fast card. I was not expecting much difference on such an old camera, but I was surprised! Writing time (raw+jpeg, multi-shot) is over 3 times faster then on my old card.

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
Don't use this card if you're a pro. If you need to depend on a card's reliability in order to pay your bills, then spend the extra money and get a decent card. This one randomly fails after several shots and then gives an error message stating it is not formatted for the camera. I've been using it in a 5DMKII. It will not show up in my card reader, nor will it show up when the camera is plugged in to USB. I don't know why it's so fussy but all my other SanDisk cards work just fine. This would be good to use if you can afford to lose your pictures. If you can't, stay away.

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
I bought this card two weeks ago and I have used it almost non-stop since then. I shoot stills and video with a Canon 5D Mark II. As of yet, I have not had a single problem with the card. Its read/write capabilities often exceed those marketed and it has never frozen or corrupted any of my files. The build of the card is sturdy and its weight and feel gives me confidence when I am inserting or removing it from the camera. As this card is one of the least expensive on the market, I would highly recommend it to any amateur or semi-professional photographer/videographers out there.

I use these for stills and video. They are dirt cheap and reliable. I've only had one problem at a fashion show when I was taking high speed shots and the card couldn't keep up. Other than that they are good for everyday use.
