 Lots of space, very little cost! August 2, 2008
I bought this card for my 10 MP camera. It can store over 3000 images at the highest quality setting. Fast read / write response. Well worth the 25 bucks I paid for it :-)

This card did not work in anything I own except for my laptop. Being a class 6 I hoped it would work in my car stereo (Phase Linear UV8020. I wouldn't recommend it unless you already knew it would work in your device!
 Not 8GB! Actually a 7.44 GB August 1, 2008

When I first discovered the Transcend 8GB SDHC Card (SD 2.0 SPD Class 6) I was truly delighted. It seemed to be a high quality, high capacity well priced SDHC card with high transfer rate.
I initially bought two of them. When they arrived and I started to use them I discovered two things:
The 8GB Cards don't hold 8GB of data. Even with the "Liberal" and perhaps questionable practice of using a Decimal (Base 10) approach to describe capacity of a Binary (Base 2) two device, this device doesn't even have 8GB by this "Liberal" standard.
Many companies, trying to save money on manufacturing, quote the storage capacity of their products in the decimal system so as to make things seem a bit larger than they actually are. A KB to a computer is 1024 Bytes whereas in non computer nomenclature a Kilo is 1000.
The SanDisk SD Cards register at 7.6 GB (Using Binary Measure even after format and file system overhead was taken into account), whereas these Transcend SD Cards only had 7.44 GB (Using Binary Measure also including file system overhead) which fell short of 8,000,000,000 when converting to Decimal.
It seems that the manufacture got the 8GB number claimed on the label by doing some creative accounting which rounds up to the nearest Gigabyte.
Now for many this might not be a big deal, but if you actually have video that takes an actual 8GB and wanted to play it on a portable device, then sort of 8GB doesn't really work for you.
I can't say to the file, "Well when you round up to the nearest GB then there is enough space for you"
The other thing that I noticed was that the SanDisk 8GB SDHC CARD (SD 2.0 Class 2) handled data transfers just as fast as this Class 6 did. I thought this was supposed to be faster?
Overall an okay SDHC card but BE AWARE THAT IT ISN'T REALLY 8GB!
 Lots of space July 31, 2008
I liked this memory card because it offers enough space for all of my high resolution pictures.
Even that it is a SD "HC" (High Capacity), it works smoothly in my camera and laptop, I wasn't require to purchase any special adapters.
