We’ve put two of these through their paces in 2 hour dual camera video shoots. No issues. I’m backing up to hard drive with a Firewire 800 card reader also bought on Amazon, very fast. I had initially bought two 8GB cards but “ate” the restocking fee because the price on these was unbeateable.

I thought it would worth to try with D300s since it has both SD and CF bays and I thought the software would be different. No luck. I have the same problem as other reviewers. It is definetely not compatible with Nikons. What a shame. Compact Flash is the name for this card’s standard, isn’t it? How come such a reputable “memory” company can miss that? We are talkýng about compatibility with Nikon, not a B brand or generic camera.

There’s not much to review in memory cards except their speed and value so I’ll keep this brief. This card is fast enough to shoot HD Video on a DSLR since the bit rate of video won’t exceed the write speed of the card. This card is also just fine if you’re popping off single photos or even if you only shoot a few photos in a row.
If you’re going to be shooting action sequences RAW with a Canon 7D, MkIV, or equivalent high FPS high Megapixel camera, you should consider a faster card even though it will cost more. Anything short of fast RAW sequences and this card is a good balance of speed and value.

This is my 3rd time deciding to go with Kingston for a CF card (I professionally shoot using 5D and 5DMII) and Kingston doesn’t disappoint. I only shoot RAWs and it works as well as my Sandisk 32gb CF card. Its a bit slow but I did pay half the price. I generally think of Kingston as a trustworthy brand, I haven’t had a bad experience yet and doubt I will. I feel corrupted files are likely to happen on any big brand CF memory cards. But my experience with Kingston has been great. The first thing I did buying this card is filling it up with 32gb of random files to see that data writes to it correctly without error, and then formatting it right after with my camera.

Having already owned this high capacity compact flash card, I ordered another one because of its reliability. I am very satisfied with this product and its performance under any condition for film or photography in which I have used it. I would not hesitate to buy another one if I need a compact flash card. For the price and quality this kingston elite pro 32 GB CF card will meet all of your demands for video or photography.
