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.

I bought this card from Dell
<br />I worried once because some complain it don't work
<br />then I learned the card supports FAT32 ONLY, then I did a test on my pda (HP HX2415), format the existing card to FAT32, found the pda supports, and bought
<br />I found the card works perfectly with my pdas (HP HX2415 and Dell Axim X50v), no problem so far
<br />MUST READ:
<br />before buying this 4GB card, you need to do a file system compatibility test
<br />you need to save the card's content onto host, then format the card to FAT32 format, then put the card into the device
<br />if the device can use the card right away without formatting, you'll be file | 5 | 799 days ago | This is best CF card have ever owned! Won't regret!
I previously owned the 1GB Lexar 40X CF card and thought that was the fastest a CF could get. I was completely wrong. This card is one fast sucker, and it can hold an enormous amount of images. In JPEG mode I am able to store over 1000 images. In RAW mode, which I'm converting to thanks to this large capacity card, I am able to hold 444 images all on my 20D!!! If your thinking of buying this card, don't hesitate. It is one awsome piece of equipment, and one heck of an investment!!
