the list price sounds too good to be true, right?
DOn't order from this company; they charge 9.95 to ship two 2GB cards.
Run, flee to another vendor. Buyer beware!

I bought two of these, one for my digital camera and one for my digital camcorder. I've had them for about 8 months and am very pleased with the product. They work great in both of my cameras and the SD slot in my PC. Each of mine came in a small plastic case which has proven to be very handy in preventing damage to the card (or a spare SD card) and allowing me to differentiate between cards so that I never have to worry about mixing them up. I've found the 2GB's to be more than adequate for my needs but should I need more I will be purchasing these again.

This is insane. 6 cards will cost you $35 shipping. Why doesn't Amazon stock these instead of subbing out to these ripoff companies?

i have a cannon a560,and purchased the sandisk 2.0gb card. the only problem is the card is to slow after each picture you take. you have to wait 3 or 4 seconds before you can take another picture. my 512mb card works alot faster,but you can not take half as many pics. i think the 2.0gb is just to big for this particular camera.

I placed an order for 3 of these SD cards, thinking they were are great deal at about $4 each. When I saw the shipping charge, though, I reconsidered. The SD cards came to $12.03, but shipping & handling was $18.97! Actual mailing costs has to be under $2 for these things, so the seller is luring people in with a low product cost and making a killing on the shipping.

If you buy this product be aware that the shipping cost pretty much offsets the great price. I got mine at Circuit City for $14.99. I don't know how they get away charging twelve bucks to ship someting that you could probably ship with a standard envelope and stamp!

This is a general 2gb memory card. And lets you hold a lot of space on your camera. If that is what you use it for. I was able to hold 1700 photos on my camera with little sucker!

The shipping cost on this product is totally outrageous. This thing can't weigh over what a normal letter costs to mail, at best 2 stamps, and they want to charge $5.00...that is almost what the product cost.

I took about 50 pictures at my daughter's dance recital using this memory card. When I got home and tried to see photos, all I got was an error reading on the card. This was only the second time I had used this card and only had about 40 pictures on it previously. I've never had this happen before with any other memory card. Will never buy SanDisk again!

NOT ALL SELLERS ARE WHAT THEY SEEM! BEWARE OF EXTREMELY HIGH SHIPPING CHARGES!
SOME DEALERS OF THESE ARE EXCELLENT SELLERS... CHI-TEK IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM! IF YOU BUY MORE THAN ONE, THEY WILL HAPPILY SHIP THEM TOGETHER(TO SAVE THEM MONEY) BUT YOU WILL STILL PAY THE SAME EXORBITANT SHIPPING PRICE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE ORDERED~
I ORDERED 4 AND WAS CHARGED ALMOST $30.00 FOR SHIPPING!
WHEN I CONTACTED CHI-TEK THEY WERE EXCEPTIONALLY RUDE AND NASTY! THEY STATED "IT'S THE WAY WE SURVIVE IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET"(BY CHEATING CUSTOMERS...)
I RECIEVED 4 CARDS(ALL HAPHAZARDLY CRAMMED INTO ONE SMALL ENVELOPE(NO PROTECTIVE PACKAGING AT ALL)WITH POSTAGE OF LESS THAN $3.00... TWO OF THEM WERE'NT EVEN IN PROTECTIVE BOXES!
THIS IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE QUALITY OF THE CARDS MADE BY SANDISK-THEY ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND WORK PERFECTLY... JUST BEWARE OF SELLERS LIKE CHI-TEK AND YOU'LL BE FINE!

I was told by a friend who initially recommended a 1.0 GB, "You'll never use all the space," yet I decided to get the 2.0 GB and I'm glad. I won't ever use all the space and that assures me I can take all the photos I wish without a thought to space. I just returned from vacation with 503 photos on my camera and plenty of room for more.

Okay, it's not meant to be put in you $1500 SLR camera-needing ultra fast memory. This gets it done cheap and it works in the Wii just fine (apparently a few cards are having issues and more over the 2GB mark).

Shipping time and price were both great. The card plus shipping was less than $12. For a 2Gb card that is super. For those of you who think shipping is too high, simply place the item in your cart you don't have to purchase the item if you still think shipping is too high. Shop your item around for the best buy including shipping. I have had nothing but good experiences with Amazon.

Bough this to use with a Nikon CoolPics. It works well, just like every other sandisk card that I've purchased. As much as prices have come down it makes no sense to go generic when you can get a trusted name for a couple bucks more.

SanDisk card incompatible with HP Pavilion XP SP2 - Review written on May 27, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 5
1 customer found this review helpful.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST:
On the HP Pavilion dv4000, with Windows XP SP2, with a built in multicard reader, I have found that the BlueProton USB SanDisk SD card reader offered [...] *does* make the card *readable* by the HP XP SP2.

So apparently, the SanDisk 2GB card hardware design sold, is not hardware compatible with the *multicard* reader that is built into the HP, and that this new BlueProton USB SanDisk-SD-flash-format only card reader makes it completely readable. I also tried my USB 51 in one multicard reader with the SanDisk SD 2GB cards on the HP XP SP2, and it also makes the card readable by the HP. So the HP XP SP2 has no problems accessing a 2GB SD card format, but that the bulk SanDisk card itself is not backward hardware compatible, or it is simply incompatible, with one versions of multicard reader, or that the HP Pavilion dv4000's multicard reader is not 100% compatible with all SD format flash.

I cannot diagnose which hardware issue is the problem, in the SD design, in the SD reader, or a mix of both. As some users have commented there's incompatabilities, it is good to have another 10-20 buck card reader, or buy one SD flash before buying bulk, to assure compatibility between the two hardware systems of SD flash and SD reader you may own.

I would rate the unit 2 stars, but don't know how to upgrade the rating, just the post.
====
I recently bought four 2GB SanDisk cards. They cannot be properly formatted in the built in SD card reader, on the HP Pavilion XP SP2. When they are "formatted" as FAT only on the HP XP SP2, they act like they can receive files from the HP, but when you go back to examine them, the files do not read back. When the cards are used in a digital camera to take pictures, and the card is put in the HP XP SP2 SD card reader, no files or folders are visible at all.

I have to work around all of this by exclusively using USB to download the files from the camera to the HP, versus simply plugging the card into the HP. Plus, the card is useless, with the HP, by itself.

A definitely incompatible SanDisk product, with a standard HP Pavilion XP SP2 with built in SD/multi card reader slot. Useable enough with a digital camera, through USB exclusively, as you cannot swap the card into the HP.

I bought this, as Amazon suggests, to use in conjunction with the Kodak EasyShare SV-710. It worked perfectly! I plugged it into the frame and copied photos to it with ease - no problems at all! I will definitely buy this card again with future digital frame purchases!

I purchased a sandisk 64MB disk for my point and shoot camera, which I still have to this day and since it is still working well I decided to go with sandisk for the upgrade. I needed the disk for dSLR I purchased recently and considered the high capacity SD cards as they are suppose to give you a quicker response time.

I have shot a few hundred shots and there hasn't been a significant lag with this card ( I tested it against my sisters SDHC card). I haven't had a read problem with the card (I have used it with my internal card reader on my notebook, a stand alone third party reader, with the camera attached to a desktop, etc). With the price drop I probably will pick up a couple more....

I originally bought the Kingston 2gb SD Card because it was cheaper than Sandisk ... what a mistake! The Kingston did not work in a single computer I put it in, so I swapped it out through Amazon and got this SanDisk. It works exactly as expected ... haven't had any problems.

Well, I know there are larger capacity SD cards out there now, and I've tried a couple of 4GB versions, but they werent as across the board compatible as this 2GB device by Sandisk. This one holds over 3000 photos at 1600x1200 resolution, goes straight from your camera to laptop or SD capable plasma/LCD tv, and as far as I can tell is totally bulletproof, not to mention FAST.

SD cards are for specialty applications. Unless you're addicted to making movies with your new digital camera and need more storage capacity, spend your money on a USB flash drive. 5 Googleshnitzles

SanDisk's defective product & lousy customer service - Review written on April 10, 2008

I took a bunch of pictures for my brother's wedding with this card. When the card was full I turned the camera off, carefully removed the card, placed it in its plastic case and in my camera bag. When we got back from the wedding and I tried to transfer the pictures to my computer, I get an error message. I try numerous ways of reading the card as well as recovery software. Nothing works.

So I try to return the defective card to SanDisk. I have to register on their site and then enter in all my product information before sending a email, which must be done though their difficult to navigate and out of date website. I finally send an email though their site and request an exchange and all I get back is a form letter with things I may have done wrong to cause the error. I then fill out another request on their site, again stating that I want a refund or exchange, and I get an email telling me to check my message box on the site. I check after a few days and it's from someone asking for more information. But because I waited a few days, it's too late to reply or some such nonesense, and then I send another email and am again asked for more information at which point I just gave up after spending nearly an hour on recouping $5 or so.

I frequently buy IT accessories for my company and now make it a point to never buy a SanDisk product.

This was exactly what I needed, not too big and not too small. I might take 100 pictures in a day, not more, and this was more than enough to hold all of them. I use a 7.2 megapixel point and shoot.
Made of good quality plastic, it can be handled without breaking. Great product for the price, worth every penny.

Whoever sold me this product failed to tell me that I would have problems. When I tried to use it, it said that the card was full but there was nothing on it. I had several people try to fix it and it couldn't be fixed. They told me to ship it back, but I do not have time to get to the post office. This EEk Technology will get no more of my business.

I thought this was a great price, so I put six in my shopping cart along with six of the promotional "free" card readers. Upon checkout I discovered that the shipping charge was over $78, tripling the effective price! A whopping $6.49 for each SD card plus $6.49 for each "free" card reader. Look before you leap.

This memory card is currently selling between fifteen and twenty bucks in my local city big box stores. The memory card works perfectly in my Garmin Nuvi GPS as well as my Panasonic digital camera. Why pay more? Will the price ever drop below ten bucks with shipping? Time will tell.
