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.

Comments about Kingston 32GB CompactFlash Memory Card Ultimate 266x:
I got this card in 2 days before a wedding I had to photograph, I had a 16GB Kingston that works perfectly so I naturally just ordered another larger card from them.
I figured I would start using the larger card first and realized that it would reject photos from the buffer or would freeze, I would have to pull the battery out just to get the card to function again, put the 16GB back in and didn't have any problems until I filled it and had to go back to this card, I lost some really magic moments even after capturing them because the card would freeze.
I'm not sure if I will return this and get 2x 16GB cards or see if the card is faulty and get the same, all I do know is that I'm not happy with the product and will most likely not be getting anymore Kingston products.

Doesn't seem quite as fast as my Lexar cards and oddly enough, holds 20 less images in RAW+Fine JPEG format. Seems odd?

I bought these card for a 5D3 to replace my older X133 cards which can't keep up with the data rate of the new camera. These work.

I bought a pair of these to increase my shooting capacity. So far I have been very pleased. I haven't seen any lag even when shooting in high speed burst, in RAW mode. Very happy.

I never have any issues with Kingston Cards, they work just like they are supposed too. And KIngston's data recovery is excellant and free. I've used the recovery program on other brand cards.

I bought 2 of these cards, and they did not work in my D700 or D800. I contacted Kingston, and they confirmed this, and said that Nikon has to come out with a firmware upgrade before they'll work.
I've never had a card not work in my D700 before...

I am a pro photographer and run dual D3 cameras when shooting weddings. I've always used Sandisk and Lexar but I decided to give these a try due to their low cost. Boy was that a mistake! First off, thank GOD I shoot D3 cameras and use the in camera back-up function cause not only 1 card failed of 4, but so far 2 cards have completely failed on me, freezing up my D3 when writing and give files half black. Also, I got a CHA error on my D3 with another of the cards, put my Sandisk back in and NO PROBLEMS! Stay clear from Kingston! I've owned a total of 7 Kingston cards, and 2 have completely failed, 3 are EXTREMELY slow when viewing files and the other 2 are okay but I'm returning all of them!!!!

I use this for 7D shooting video and photo.
Of course doing still images has no problem, but it stops recording so many times and I couldn't restart for a few mins. It's getting worse during video shoot, Error 02 it says.
Do not recommend you to get this if you are shooting videos.

First, coming from Kingston having used many of their CFC cards before I know I am getting a quality product.
Second, for the size, speed, and price of this, you simply cannot beat it in all three categories.
It is being used in my Canon 5DMII and it has performed brilliantly thus far in both 21MP RAW files and full HD video.

I used it for digital video on my Nikon D300S. it can't keep up with 15 + frame bursts, but it did fine with recording video. for the price, I would recommend. For high end photographers that need rapid fire fps, you can do better, but will pay much more.
