Amazon.com Product Description

Lexar Media's high-speed digital film helps your camera capture images faster, so you spend more time taking pictures and less time waiting on your camera. Lexar's CompactFlash cards are individually speed rated so you know the minimum capability of the card. Lexar uses the same rating system used by the CD-ROM industry, where a data transfer rate of 1x equals 150 kilobytes per second (KBps). The higher the speed rating, the faster your camera will be able to write images to the memory card.

For professional shooters who need immediate confirmation they've captured the shot or who want to identify accurate exposure levels or bracketing range, Lexar's patented 24x speed (3.6 MBps) transfer rate makes the card ideal for fast-paced applications such as photojournalism, sports, and fashion. And Lexar's solid-state design provides reliability in harsh shooting environments, mandated by professionals throughout the world.

BEWARE!!!.......2003-10-18

You should be aware that memory cards w/ Write Accelerated Technology (like this one) only perform faster in Write Accelerated enabled cameras.

The following is directly from Lexarmedia.com:

"Current cameras supporting Write Acceleration Technology

All Kodak Professional cameras and pro camera backs, such as the DCS Pro Back 645, DCS Pro Back Plus, DCS 720x, DCS 760, DCS 760m and DCS 14n
Nikon D1x, D1h, D-100 (Requires camera firmware upgrade by Nikon. See Nikon's web page for more details) and D2h
Sanyo DSC-MZ3
Sigma SD-9
Pentax *ist D
Olympus E1"

I purchased the 40x 256MB Lexar CompactFlash and it works no faster than the 8x 16MB Lexar CF which came w/ my Nikon 4300. I only found out about needing a WA-enabled camera after reading the back of the CF package. I find it very misleading that this information is not included in the product description at any of the online stores i shopped.

I'm sure the Write-Accelerated cards are great, as long as you have the right camera.

Great card and fast for saving images!.......2003-09-10

I've been using the Lexar 24x card for a few months now and have no problems whatsoever to date. The difference between this card and the cheapo 4x cards is really noticeable when saving images to the card - and with the guarantee, it's well worth the extra money. I felt even better too when I saw a professional photographer changing cards - and saw the same brand (but instead a 1GB card - a little out of my price range :) )!

Lexar 24x CompactFlash Cards.......2002-11-15

I bought a Lexar 256MB 24x CompactFlash card to use with a new Nikon CoolPix 4500 for a recent trip to Bulgaria and Istanbul. In addition to the 24x card, I also used a Lexar 80MB 8x and a SanDisk 64MB standard card. In 3 weeks, I shot nearly 2000 4 megapixel images and noticed TWO major advantages and strengths with the 24x card.

1.) Images are saved faster.
2.) Battery life improves as a result.

I am extremely happy with this card and am buying a second to replace a pile of smaller, slower cards.

Lexar Media 256 MB USB 12X High-Speed CF Card .......2006-03-26

I have two of these cards and both work great. Response time is excellent. Absolutely no problems.

Great card for the Money!.......2005-11-27

I remember purchasing this memory card by Lexar Media about 2 years ago when I purchased my Canon Powershot S230 Digital Camera (Which is s great camera at the time). Not only does this card work like a charm, but the speeds on it are excellent. I take pictures at the resolution of 2048x1536 resolution (Max on the Canon Powershot S230, which comes to around 700-900KB in size. The 12x Card saves the pictures in matter of nano seconds.

Another feature that makes the 12x card great is when you're flipping through the camera to see which pictures you've taken on your digital camera. Especially when it comes to the high resolution pictures, this could take a few seconds extra. The 12x Lexar Media makes it very simple and quick to scan these pictures. It could get a hassle when you have 100-200 of your favorite pictures and scanning through them, and worrying about each picture "loading".

It's also great when you're connected to a usb memory card reader. This is where it really shines. Lexar Media's 12x speed card transfers at a rate of 1.8MBps (150KB/sec x 12). When you're transferring images from your memory card to your PC, makes data transfers that much quicker. It take extra time when you have a slower card and transferring at 4x~8x speed. Obviously there are some faster cards out there these days that will transfer at 24x speeds. Even though this maybe an outdated card for most "High end camera" users, but to the others that are still looking for something that would be packable, and still affordable, Lexar Media 256MB 12X Compact Card Flash is great!!

Great Transaction.......2005-09-25

Great delivery time, and no problems whatsoever. Will do business in the future!

nikon coolpix 4500.......2005-09-08

i got this card for my nikon coolpix 4500. havent had any problem at all. it works just fine with my camera. it gave me huge amount of pics at 1028 X 768. keep a watch for prices they go up and down. look for the best deal and amazon gave a good deal to me. the 12X speed is faster than the 4 X i had. u can see the difference and lexar is a good brand.

Great flash card, great company!.......2005-02-08

Not only is this a great flash card, the company is great to deal with. On our recent vacation, I accidently deleted all our pictures. I thought they were lost! A friend suggested we try to find someone to try and recover the lost pictures. After several inquires I was directed to send the disk back to the manufacturer with a description of what happened. I called a service rep at Lexar and he said if I sent it to them they would give it a try. To my surprise, they were able to recover the lost pictures and returned my flashcard at no cost. Thanks again to Lexar, you've earned a loyal customer.

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Lexar Media 256MB CompactFlash Card, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Better options avialable on Amazon.......2003-10-11

Better option to buy Lexar Media 256 MB USB 12X High-Speed CompactFlash Card (CF256-12-251). This new card is 12X v/s 4X and also cheaper !! Why buy a slower card and also pay more ?

Great CF Card, Great price, Great Warranty.......2002-12-21

This was a great CF card at the time. I had found a rebate for it, so the final price ended up being only $... So at the time, it was very cheap and very high capacity CF card. I use it mainly in my PDA, a Toshiba e740. It works like a charm, from the moment I put it in until now it has always worked perfectly. I only had one mishap with it since I bought it. When taking it out, I managed to drop it into a glass of Coke. After drying it out, it did not work at all. I then called Lexar, and they were gracious enough to replace the card no question asked. Wow, great service! I on a regular basis stream mp3's and movies off of this card and have never noticed a speed problem. The only main complaint I have about it is, when ever I try to copy large content on to the card, it takes a while. But just go watch some TV, by the next commercial; an 180meg file would have already been copied.

All in all, I have been very satisfied with it, and would recommend it. But try to wait for a rebate if you can, because they show up all the time.

A great compact flash for the price!.......2002-08-14

I had bought the 64 mg Lexar compact flash at Best Buy along with my Kodak DC3400 camera. The price was way more than for this. (but then CF are cheaper now) With the 64 MG, there has always been problems with errors when downloading pictures. My thought of buying Lexar again wasn't high on the list but the price and rebate looked too good to pass up. After using it for a week with hundreds of pics taken, I am concluding that it is wonderful! My camera gets 415 pictures to the best pic mode. It is so wonderful to just use one card during an outing.

Cheap, fast and too much of it.......2002-03-20

How can you go wrong with spending [money] and getting 256M? You can't. I bought the iPAQ and I wanted to transfer my files to a flash, so I don't have to carry my computer all day. IT worked. I have all of my documents and files on a single flash. I sync once or twice a week and I am ready to go. If you are on the road like I am, this flash is the best. It's cheap and with 256M, you can have everything transferred to it.

Superior........2002-03-15

A 256 meg card in my Canon S100 set to its default resolution got a reading of 1578 shots available! That's an incredible amt of space and for someone heading off on an extended trip. In my PDA, it's good for nearly 5 hours of MP3s! I have been following CF costs on a dollar-per-meg basis for some time, and while the newest & largest cards have tended to carry a premium, more recently they have not. It is under fifty cents per meg, less than 1/4 of what it cost per meg only 18 months ago. As for the Lexar brand, it is the fastest read/write card on the market today, bar none. Sweet deal!

plenty fast and good compatibility.......2002-01-29

this is my first 256mb cf card. seat-o-the-pants-meter says it's at least as fast, if not a little faster, than the generic 128mb and 64mb cards i have used before (all 4x). compatibility is good, it worked in both my camera (said it would on the lexar webpage, nice compatibility list there) and pda (not on the lexar page)...

i kind of like to see a lifetime warranty on these kind of things, but 5 years probably constitutes a lifetime for this technology so i'm not overly worried about that...

throw in the rebate and u get name brand for generic price...
