SanDisk 16 GB SDHC Class 4 Memory Card - Blue

Arrived quickly, packaged well and exactly the same as the listing. Compatible with my Panasonic Camcorder. Functions and works well. Haven’t had any issues with it yet.

SanDisk are my go to brand when it comes to memory cards.Whilst this 16GB class 4 is not the fastest card, for the money it offers good value and additional storage space.Used in my video camera I own, it works perfectly well.Over the years I have owned many memory cards the vast majority of which are SanDisk.Due to my line of work I get through memory cards quicker than most, but the failure rate with any from SanDisk has been better than some other brands I have used. The returns and replacement procedure for cards in warranty is a bit of a hassle if you use cards on virtually a daily basis and by the time you have logged the issue, done all the necessary steps required and sent it back it is not worth it in my opinion. Despite this I continue to use SanDisk as on the whole they offer good value for money.

A nice, solid, affordable reliable card. Big enough to hold plenty of pictures. It's not quite as big as some of the newer cards, but there's plenty of room, and a lot of devices will only take up to 32GB cards anyway, as there's a change of format from SDHC to SDXC to go higher. Class 4 might not be the fastest card either, with newer cards reaching class 10 or UHS standards, but it's plenty fast enough for most stills photography, and handles 720p video recording without issue.Be careful when purchasing other larger cards, as there's a current scam where small 4GB cards are hacked to show bigger capacities. You might not notice until you come to take your data off the card, and find anything above 4GB is corrupt. To be safe, check all new cards with a full memory test, such as h2testw on Windows, or F3 on Linux or Mac.

Great- bought for Audi A4 music system. Works like a dream. Good sound quality and easy to copy downloads to in car audio.

I was thinking about what would be the opposite of a sans-disk. Perhaps avec-disk? You can see that I am not very well informed about these. Of course I have used the other disks, like floppy disks, diskettes and even tape drives. Even audio cassettes when I used a ZX81. Now that was computing!!Anyway what to say about these litte bits of blue plastic. They are clever. You can record your accounts, the letters you've sent and of course your photographs. That's what I've used them for and also found that they fit into one of those electrical photo frames.Mind you they would probably fit into a whole range of things, but would they do anything? I mean if you put them into a slot maked SD - or something like that - then most likely you will be able to record stuff on it and then play it back afterwards.The important thing is not to put it into just any old slot. One that says button A would not be a good idea or one that says no SD in here please.I have no idea how they work. Perhaps it's got wensleydale cheese in it; no it would have to be that blue cheese - obvious when you think about it. Anyway there are 16 GB of the stuff in this one and that's enough for anyone.There's a handy little patch of white on the item and you can write on it. Not a lot perhaps, but maybe the beginning of that novel you always wanted to write some day. For example: "Elaine came down..". That would probably be it unless you write very small and then that would probably be overdoing it.So, all in all this is a goody if you have a device that it will fit in.

Having bought both the 8gb and the 16gb, I can safely say I have discovered no differences. They both hold (for some bizarre reason) the same amount of pictures, despite one being apparently double the capacity. I've had 4 in total, one of which, my current one allowed me to take 400 pictures before I tried to upload them to my laptop. This resulted in the worst experience i've had with these cards. It told me I needed to "format" the card, however then informed me that doing so would erase the entire contents of the memory. After realising the card would be useless without this formatting (as my camera suddenly rejected it) I decided to proceed. What a let down.There we go! An unbiased report/review that isn't written based on the packaging or shipping (as it states in the rules). I hope people read this before purchasing. And remember:YOU MUST FORMAT EACH MEMORY CARD TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO YOU.*UPDATE: I've realised that my camera was on a setting that duplicated each image-one JPEG one NEF, I turned this off and most satisfied with the increased capacity: 2000 photos + 10 videos, as opposed to 1000 photos + 5 videos. ONE MORE THING TO BEWARE OF: On some laptops, removing the SDHC without first right clicking and selecting "eject" can result in the SDHC becoming corrupted, you then must format it thus erasing all the images!The formatting issue was never resolved and was due actually due to the fact that THEY SENT ME A FAKE CARD! The side tab bit that is usually grey and says "lock" next to it was orange, the back of the card, which usually shows a modest Sandisk logo was blank, and the stickers on the front of the card were discoloured.SO BE WARNED! These cards are not without their faults, but are, if you know how to use them, very useful (and reasonably priced-Boots=£17.50, Amazon=£7-£10)*UPDATE 2:.....It did it again, they really need to sort this out. My laptop logged off to do an automatic update and it caused the "you must format this card before use, formatting will erase all data on the card". That's 2500 photos and 8 videos gone: 18th birthday party; trip to Switzerland; German exchange, GCSE photography projects....ALL GONE. Thanks a bunch SanDisk, you've probably lowered my GCSE grade and lost hundreds of irreplaceable photos...my sister isn't going to turn 18 a second time is she? I'd like to think not. And no it's not my laptop's fault, I left the photos uploading to Picasa 3 and it updated without me knowing. I think I'll invest in a cable rather than a reader.
