great card

Written: Oct 23 '02
Pros:very reliable, very accurate.
Cons:fragile, crushes easily, a booger to recover if physically damaged.
The Bottom Line: this card is outstanding. a must have for the avid picture taker.

IBM has really done the digital photography world a favor when putting this card out on the market. I use this card in my personal camera and have never had to use any of my data recovery techniques on it. I havent had one bad picture come out of it and it never shows me corruption. This is a must have card for the pro picture taker. the storage space seems unlimited and i have been out for like 12 hours taking pictures and have yet had this card fill up on me. of course i upload the card every time im done. but if i need to take pics from a vacation or a trip i know that this micro drive wont let me down. the down side is you have to be very careful when handling the drive. it is very fragile and unlike normal flash cards this card will break at the touch of the top. when handling this card you need to hold it by the sides only or you will have the possibility of squishing it and causing serious physical damage. i get a few of these in a year and most of the time the reason is human error. i like this card personally and i havent found a card yet that can stand up to its capabilities. i highly recommend this card. pros and novices alike if your camera takes both microdrive and compact flash cards i would just stick to the microdrives its a great investment and you will see the rewards with in the first 2 uses.
