CF CARD ERROR!
I have a Cannon S45 and loved the card up to the point it died. I was on Lake Tahoe for a friends wedding and had taken countless pictures and videos. All of a sudden, the camera froze up. The CF card error pops up and that's it. I've had 2 friends try the card in their cameras and the same thing happens... so I know it's not the camera. I won't buy another Viking....

works fine - rebate stinks
They have a "15 days after invoice date" rule. Amazon wasn't able to get the unit to me until at least the 16th day. (don't know for sure because I was away for 6 days starting on the 15th day).
Their rebate adminstrator denied the Rebate. I am arguing it now and may win yet. But I will never buy from them again based upon a rebate price. What really p_____s me off is that the Amazon price today, WITHOUT a rebate, is what I was supposed to pay net, 6 months ago.

The memory works fine and it is really nice to have a capacity of 300+ pictures in my finest resolution. A lot better than carrying a laptop on a fun vacation just for downloading.

Don't fall for a rebate rip-off!
This card is performs identically to every other CF card I own - Lexar, Sandisk, Simpletech, and Mr. Flash.

The only reason I chose this one over others was that they offered a rebate on the purchase. I've seen Viking offer this rebate several times.

Ordered the card from Amazon, then sent in all the proper rebate forms, proof of purchase, etc.

Months later- no rebate.

Since then, I've read several complaints about the viking rebate program.

good solid card/brand
I have a 2 megapixel canon elph and own two other CF cards, (Sandisk 64mb and Fuji64mb) Reason I got another CF card was the price as of Feb 2003, was the lowest I've seen ever, and I did abit more research than before. check dpreview.com they have a section of CF card ratings and this particular card did very good, as far as speed and reliability.

I did my own amateur testing and noticed "slight" differences, the Viking and Sandisk cards were abit faster in taking multiple shots. (but this is a matter of miliseconds) reliability, I have had the two other cards for about 6 months and have not had a problem with data loss of any kind. On my 2 megapixel camera, the Viking 128mb CF card shot about 360-400 images "high quality" (depending on image size, each image can be a different file size, depending on the information each one requires)

So, I would just stick with a big name like Viking or Sandisk and you really cant go wrong.

I love this card. I keep my Canon Digital Elph S110 set on the highest resolution/highest quality and have never filled this card up on a weekend trip. One day I took 120+ pictures, it is so easy to delete the ones you don't want afterwards. With the holidays and longer trips coming up I am purchasing a second 128mb card to double my capacity, you can't beat this price.... I also have the Viking card reader to speed up downloading and save wear and tear on the camera. I am very pleased with it. It works just like an external hard drive... It was a good deal then andit is an even better value now. Go with it! The best thing is thatyou will have comfort in knowing that you have the capacity to takethe pictures when you need to (you'll not miss out on those preciousmoments that will never repeat themselves).

64MB card - 155 pictures for a 1MP Kodak DC240 camera
Well, I had no idea how much room a 1 MP picture would take up on a CF card. I know it is a combination of compression and format, but I never really did the math.

GREAT PRICE: I bought this card, number one, because the price was great. Now the price is even greater when you get it for about 2MB for $1.

NUMBER OF PICTURES THAT CAN BE STORED:
155 in a DC240 with 1MP.
55 in a DX3900 with 3.1 MP.
I never knew the MP versus MB formula, this practical application helped me out. I understand however, much depends on your compression and format. This was all .jpg files and on Kodak cameras.

SEEMS COMPATIBLE FOR PDA AND PC:
I know one of the concerns on these cards is compatibility. Since I have had it, I have put it in an @migo Pocket PC, on the PCMCIA card on an IBM laptop and a Kodak DX3600 and a HP315. It worked great.

Nice card and a nice size, I'm set for awhile now.

Great value and good performance
I've used Viking components in the past and never had any negative experiences with their products. When I got a digital camera, I shopped the local computer and mall stores for Compact Flash memory cards before turning to Amazon.com. I was pleasantly surprised to find an affordable Compact Flash card in the capacity I was looking for made by Viking. The card works great with my Kodak digital camera and Sandisk CF reader. A top notch product at an affordable price.

Editorial Review

The PowerShot S300 is Canon's long-awaited follow-up to the wildly popular S100. Not content to rest on their laurels, Canon has spent the time to address some of the shortcomings in the original Digital Elph camera.

The biggest new feature is the 3x optical zoom. While only a small step up from the original 2x, the new zoom requires a slightly enlarged body. Also added is a movie mode. The new movie mode allows up to 30 seconds of footage to be recorded at a resolution of 160 x 120. You can also record at 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 resolution, but the recording time shortens correspondingly.
