I've used Kingston and Sandisk and Microtech and Hawking all for my digital camera...I've not had any problems with any of them. I've used the Kingston and Microtech for laptop to PC work. From what I have read the Sandisk problems are rampant, I guess I've just been lucky. (Especially considering I typically leave them in a shirt pocket and my partner hands them to me out of the dryer after she has washed and dried them!)
