Ted Mozer has posted this on Aximsite. Sears has a sale on a SanDisk 512MB SD card for $99. I ordered mine already.

Hurry, sale ends tomorrow.

Newegg has a Kingston for $102 with free shipping, regular price.

Price actually fluctuates slightly as I paid $98 for it back in July, but still a good card.

How reliable is Kingston?

How fast is it compare to Lexar?

I notice there is a big different in speed between Lexar and SanDisk.

Have you compare Kingston with either Lexar or SanDisk?

I have Kingston, amazing so far. Cant tell and compare with speed, first SD card, but they are good!

Speed seems to be normal. Don't know how fast the interfaces are on the iPaqs. I do know that I'm not getting anywhere near the 10MB/sec my Simpletech SD card is capable of, so I don't know that the extra speed the card's capable of will make that much of a difference.

We've been running a 64MB Kingston CF card in our digital camera for 2 years. It's been flawless.

Don't have to worry about reliability with them, and most Kingston stuff carries a lifetime warranty.

Are all the prices mentioned for 512MB SD Cards?

My bad. I was looking at CF cards, not SD. Got my wires crossed.

I just got my 512 today and as I was afraid of, it's real slow. I have tried formatting in various combinations of FAT sizes and clusters. Regardless of the combination, the card doesn't even come close to the read/write times of my Lexar 256 (using Pocket Mechanic). This card seems to be hit and miss.

Even though the price was nice, it looks like I will have to delegate this card to my digicam.

Too bad those lexar cards are so damn expensive!

My advice, stay away from Sandisk if performance matters.
