Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6

Perfect for the computer

Good quality, good value for the money service excellent

Now that storage cards are: 1. practically a requirement for anyone who owns a camera, videocam, digital recorder, portable storage device; and 2. a fraction of the price of what they were a couple of years ago while offering more memory and speed in proportion to the reduction in price, the consumer is faced with some difficult decisions. The cards come in many sizes (physically as well as internal capacity) and grades (at least three levels from most manufacturers). Currently, Transcend (a brand that has moved to the front ranks in only the past two years) is offering the most bang for the buck (i.e. you may be able to purchase a Sandisk or Kingston card for the same price, but it's practically certain to have a more limited storage capacity and/or be rated at a less "professional" grade). Hence, the Transcend 8 GB card with a "6 rating" is understandably attracting a lot of attention. Should it be?Formerly, the only card I had problems with was Lexar, which has virtually disappeared from the menu. Recently, the only card that's given me trouble on a couple of occasions has been a Transcend--and one of those instances was a mechanical breakdown (the thumb-drive mechanism would not remain extended and locked in place, preventing me from inserting it into my computer's USB port).So it's a bit of a toss-up. If you want to save a few bucks and feel secure, get a Kingston; if you want to sleep well at night, get a Sandisk; if you want to take after the "pros," going for the best image (visual or aural) humanly thought possible on a tight budget, go for a "Transcend," Class 6. But don't be deceived by the other-worldly brand name "Transcend": it's still a speck of an object, easily misplaced or lost, and very much part of the finite world, subject to the problems and disrepair of all mortal beings and material things.Supposedly, Transcend's 2 grade is more than adequate for most consumers' needs. Their 4 grade is recommended for hobbyists shooting movies in high definition. Their 6 grade is what the pros use. If you're simply using the card to transport documents, get the cheapest Kingston. Same holds true for most of the "smaller" cards (including 4gb cards, which not long ago were considered gargantuan). If you're picking up a whopper (8, 16, and even more GB's) for making a hi-def movie with sound, it "may" be worth the added cost to go for any of the aforementioned brands' best card. (I've heard that Sandisk is the primary maker of cards for all of these brands, so if you own Sandisk stock, its bottom line should not be affected significantly by your choice of brand.)Of course, there's always Sony and its Memory Stick, but now you're beginning to talk higher prices than those commanded by any of the aforementioned brands. To a Sony-o-phile, the premium price is no doubt worth it--and indeed it may well be. But what's at play here has less to do with objective data than consumer psychology.

I have always used SD Cards (Secure Digital) for my cameras, so when I purchased the  Panasonic HM-TA1 Video Camera , I was surprised to learn I needed an SDHC card (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. What is the difference? SDHC cost a lot more, but they must be doing something special. Here's the gist:SDHC - Secure Digital High Capacity memory cards are flash memory cards with a minimum capacity of 4GB (gigabytes). SDHC cards are the same size as an ordinary SD Card - about the size of a postage stamp.Secure Digital Cards have been around for almost a decade and SDHC Cards are a newer version developed for use with digital cameras and other devices that don't just require a higher capacity card, but also one that comes with higher performance. Here is something I found on Wikipedia: "SDHC cards are designed for devices that are compatible with the SD 2.00 specification. Products designed exclusively to support previous SD specifications 1.0 and 1.1 will not be able to utilize SDHC cards".This is confusing (kind of), but you can use an SDHC card as a SD card, but not always the other way around for good quality.There is also a new feature out - "Classification of Data Transfer Speed (DTS)".SD cards can record video up to 40X (6MB/Sec), but it starts slow (like, 0.1 MB/Sec) and then increases to 6MB/Sec (40X speed). It is an average speed recording. However, an SDHC card starts and finished at 6MB/Sec - 40x Speed, but has a top speed of 20MB/Sec - 133x Speed. That means your video is very clear and crisp on that high resolution flat screen!Of course, the SDHC cards are more expensive than SD cards, but you get a far better quality.I found that I had anything from a 512 MB SD card to an 8 MB SD card. There just was no point in having all these loose cards. Now with an SDHC, I can record more video at a higher quality and capacity. So it's worth the money in the end. You can get NEW cards at a cheaper price on Amazon, but I would advise against getting a used card. Like the adage goes, "You just don't know where that thing has been!"

I have recently started to do more wedding photography and decided it would be a useful thing to buy a large memory card.If you do your research, you will see that there are a numerous types of memory card. For example:YOu can have SD Cards or SD HC - HC for High Capacity.You will also see a 'Class' rating underneath many of the new memory cards. These start at 2 and I think go up to 8 at the moment. The higher the class number the 'faster' the card is. i.e. when writing a large photo to the card it will do it quicker than a class 2 card for example. It will also mean that when transferring files from the card to the computer it will do it much faster.You will also see an 'Extreme I, II, or III' etc, which also has some bearing on the speed of the reading and writing on the card. I decided on this because the 'Class' of the card is a more industry-wide standard while 'Extreme I and so on seems more a marketing thing.I currently use iphoto on a Mac and it will transfer about 600 maximum size photos in about 30-45 seconds!For most photographers, however, 4GB is going to be way more than you will ever need. I mean, on maximum settings on my Nikon D40, this will hold about 1000 photos!So my advice is that you go for a 2GB card at the most, but aim for a higher Class of card because that will make a real benefit to you in terms of time saved.

Ich würde mir bei der großen Anzahl an Rezensionen zu diesem Produkt normalerweise nicht die Mühe machen, auch noch eine zu schreiben. Aber ich muss, denn ich kann mich der Meinung nicht anschließen, dass die SDHC-Card nicht zu empfehlen sei.Es tut mir leid, falls jemand seine Daten verloren hat, aber ich habe meine im November 2008 bestellt und seitdem funktioniert sie einwandfrei.Zuerst in meiner Kamera, ohne dass ich Probleme beim Schreiben oder Lesen feststellen konnte, auch bei Serienbilder keine Schwierigkeiten. Jetzt nutze ich die Karte alternativ zum USB-Stick, um Daten zu transportieren oder um etwas nicht auf Festplatte zu installieren o.ä. Da ist sie bei großen Dateien um einiges langsamer als die USB-Sticks, die ich habe, aber es reicht.Zwischendurch habe ich die Karte immer wieder einmal formatiert, teils um das Format zu wechseln, teils weil von Programmen (versteckte) Ordner/Dateien angelegt wurden und ich einfach wieder eine wirklich leere Karte haben wollte.Ob ich damit jetzt einem Datenverlust vorgebeugt habe, weiß ich nicht.Ehrlich gesagt, würde die Karte jetzt tatsächlich nicht mehr erkannt werden, würde es mich wohl nicht einmal aufregen. Man kann auch hochpreisige Flachbildfernseher kaufen, die dann wundersamerweise nach 25 Monaten defekt sind. Da würde ich bei einer Speicherkarte nach 4,5 Jahren nichts sagen.Und wenn ich so wichtige Daten darauf speichere, dass deren Verlust mir eine kostenintensive professionelle Datenrettung wert ist, dann befinden sich die Daten selbstverständlich auch auf einer Festplatte und ggf. noch auf CD/DVD.Also wenn ich eine zweite oder irgendwann Ersatzkarte bräuchte, spräche aus meiner Sicht nichts gegen einen erneuten Kauf. Außer man möchte dann eine Class 10-Karte. ;-)

Die Karte habe ich für meine Canon Powershot G10 gekauft. Der Speicherplatz ist riesig, selbst mit vielen Videosequenzen und hunderten Fotos ist sie kaum vollzukriegen, reicht für einen 3-wöchigen Urlaub absolut aus.Die Speichergeschwindigkeit könnte etwas schneller sein, aber zum Kaufzeitpunkt war das der Stand der aktuellen Technik.Ich würde mir jederzeit wieder ein Produkt von Transcent kaufen, weil die Karten bisher immer zuverlässig funktioniert haben und es keine Ausfälle wie bei Billigprodukten gab.

This is the second Transcend SDHC 4 GB Class 6 card that I have bought for using in my  Vivitar DVR 565HD . The first was with a card reader and both proved an excellent buy.I was recording a stunning rainbow when my first one kept running out of space. Each time I frantically deleted a video - I knew they were backed up but I'm a belt and braces person so was loath to delete en masse - to gain space but each time never enough; I swore that wouldn't happen again. (It's usually my battery that dies on me at crucial moments and I still need to buy a second one of those!)As I was going on a short holiday anyway this was my obvious choice. I have several Transcend data storage devices and none have ever let me down (I hope I'm not tempting providence!) over many years. This was no exception and I have a lovely (subjective, of course) set of movies and photos, many of which I've uploaded to my YouTube channel.As I said in my review for the first  card and reader  there is no delay when I record videos - this time I recorded them all in HD with absolutely no problems.Perfect.
