  Premier storage for premier devices December 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
PNY, although slightly less well known than Kingston or Transcend, makes some very fine SDHC cards. This one is no exception. At 32GB, this card can store an amazing amount of data in a very small package. (Anyone else remember when having a 20gb hard drive in a laptop was considered cutting-edge?) However, there are some things to consider before buying this particular card (or any other 32gb SDHC card).
1. This is NOT an ideal card for a digital SLR like a D80, D90, Rebel XT, etc... That is because it is a class 4 device. The class of a SDHC cards has to do with how fast they read and write files, not how much storage they have. For a digital SLR, you should purchase a class 6 SDHC card most of the time. Class 6 cards will allow you to take 'bursts' of photos and not be limited by the card's capacity to write them. Also class 4 cards are slower reading data, meaning they will take longer to upload files to your computer. Upload speed is convenient, especially when loading large batches of files.
2. This card has far more storage than you need for your digital camera. Unless you like to keep all your photos on a SDHC card and never move them to your computer, there is very little need for more than about 8gb of storage space on a SDHC card. (The possible exception to this is if you have a D700 or other professional SLR that shoots files in the 16-20mb range). If all you intend to use this card for is a digital camera, save yourself a lot of money and buy a PNY 8GB SDHC Card. If you're worried about running out of space on a vacation, buy a few of them.
So what is this card intended for? This card is fantastic for use in a video camcorder capable of writing to an SDHC card. (Check with the manual first to insure that a class 4 card will be fast enough first). It is also perfect as extra storage for an ultra portable computer or net book like the Asus EEE pc. Another great application would be as added storage to a personal media player or MP3 player equipped with a SDHC slot such as the Cowon D2.
That said, this is a fantastic SDHC card with a breathtaking amount of storage. PNY makes quality products (I swear by their computer memory) and I think their SDHC cards are easily as good as more recognizable brands. If you have a need for the space, pull the trigger and get one. You'll be glad you did.

I got this card for my new canon hf100 HD camcorder. I got about 4.5 hours of full HD video on the card.
Moved the video in the evening onto a spare HD, popped it back in, no problems.
I was a little worried - I had some issues with PNY graphics cards in the past, but this product worked without a problem. I was also worried because it was class 4 SDHC, which was lowest speed recommended for my camera, but all the video turned out great.
Almost doubled the storage on my UMPC September 18, 2008

Great for additional storage for an Ultra Mobile PC. The HTC Shift only has a 40 Gig HD built in. This is a great way to almost double the storage capabilities of a HTC Shift for a great price. This works almost as fast as the internal hard drive for a great price.

I have a treo 650 and a treo 700p and this works great in them! The awesome thing is that now, with pocket tunes I can carry around 32 GIGs with me at all times! That's not quite all of my music but it's a very good portion. The only issue with this card is that it's a little slow, but what do you expect when you copy 28 gigs of music to a flash card?
