| Review | Rating | Last Updated | BEWARE of Kingston REBATES!
Beware of KINGSTON rebates!
<br />
<br />Of course, I hope your experience would differ, if you were to buy Kingston product(s), but mine was terrible.
<br />
<br />I bought a Kingston CompactFlash card that offered a $50 mail-in rebate. I promptly (as in, the day AFTER I received the item delivery) went to photocopy my rebate certificate and UPC code and sales receipt; then sent it all on its merry way. Yes, I was well within the rebate period, both for the purchase AND for the postmark date. My purchase was a valid retailer (think HUGE online e-tailer).
<br />
<br />The rebate REQUIRED sending THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL UPC label, which was like the entire outside package for my CF card, about the size of 1 � business cards when flattened. No problem.
<br />
<br />About TWO MONTHS later, I get a letter saying "your rebate request was denied because you failed to furnish the appropriate ORIGINAL UPC code as required by the rebate offer."
<br />
<br />Well, now WHAT? I can't RE-SEND the original (it was already in their possession). I called, and they insisted on repeating what the letter said. I re-sent my PHOTOCOPIES and they said a photocopy is invalid proof of purchase.
<br />
<br />After another 6 weeks of pursuing this, I figured this is their scam. They simply wouldn't honor the rebate. And without the ORIGINAL UPC in my possession, I couldn't really submit to their requirements.
<br />
<br />If you're looking for a RAM upgrade, I'd suggest you look at a quality company like OCZ (the BEST!), or Patriot, Geil, or Corsair. If you're looking for a value Flash Memory Card, I might suggest SanDisk.
<br />
<br />For one, Kingston does NOT make the best products, they are VALUE-driven products.
<br />
<br />Two, there are competitors to Kingston with just as good or better value-to-performance ratios at the same prices.
<br />
<br />Three, Kingston will not stand behind their customer as I have experienced.

The card works well in my camera and was purchased at a good price compared to several other sources. No problems with delivery. | 4 | 770 days ago | Speed is an issue
I love the memory size of the card but however when you want to shoot withing a very shot time frame, the card is slow. An excellent example would be a birthday party. You take a snap and want to take the next one, you may have to wait at times and you may end up losing the shot. (Initially I thought it was okay but when it kept repeating I felt a bit disappointed) I have the SanDisk Ultra II 1 GB and it has never had a delay. I would used this card for situations where I have plenty of time between shots. Maybe a still life.. | 4 | 770 days ago | Works great!
This memory card handles the job really well. Unless maybe you're a professional sports photographer, it's plenty fast enough. No problems using it with my Canon Rebel XT. It holds about 550 pictures (JPEGs) at the highest resolution (8.2 MP). | 5 | 770 days ago | great card- great price
Lots of room.. I don't have to worry about running out of pictures- even in RAW format. And a Ton of pcitures in hi-res JPEG format. Plus, it was very affordable. I have no complaints. I shoot with a Canon digital Rebel. I'm very happy with this purchase. | 4 | 770 days ago |
