Kingston 133X Compact Flash Elite Pro 8GB and good?

[rgrebby]

ive really only used Sandisks but an 8gb kigston one is only 19.99
I know its best not to have all eggs in one basket but im just wondering how the speed compares to sandisk III's as well as reliability.

Don't know where you're looking, but a 133x Kingston 8gb CF is only £16 from 7dayshop, here. I've just ordered a couple of 4gb ones, for less than a tenner each. Not received them yet. However, I used to use 1gb 40x kingstons at one time,and never had any problems with them.

iircorrectly the sandisk extreme 3 is 133x so about 1/3 of the speed?

 

[rgrebby]

No as you didnt have 133x in the first place in your post either that or i missread it, i could have sworn it said 40x

 

[mrgubby]

I have Kingston 133x & Sandisk III and they give almost identical speeds when tested on my PC

 

[Wayner]

I only use Kingstons, all purchased from 7 Day Shop. Have never had any issues, great value.

 

[admirable]

Check for compatability, they don't work on Canon 1D MkIII and quite a few Nikon's

Yep, definetly said 40x originally. That's why I said you could get faster, for cheaper.
It's free delivery from 7dayshop too.

Aren't these the same... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8GB-KINGSTON-...AsAccessoriesQ5fMemoryCardsQQsalenotsupported

Either way, i just bought 2 for just over £21 quid delivered.

 

[mick123]

No they are not the faster x133

 

[drb5]

Ah well, worth a shot.

 

[mrgas]

is the 133 speed the same as a class 6 ?

 

[barneyrubble]

These are so slow in my D3 and D3x that i don't trust them
