Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6 Description:

Approximately the size of a postage stamp, SDHC cards offer greater capacity than standard SD cards while maintaining the same form factor. SDHC Class six cards offer more capacity and faster move rates.
Display thousands of high quality photos on SDHC enabled digital photo frames.
Ideal for expanding storage potential of netbooks and mini laptops with SDHC slots.
Store More Photos
With most point and shoot digital cameras quickly climbing the megapixel ladder, 6,8, and ten megapixel ratings are beginning to be commonplace. With Transcend SDHC cards, you may be able to keep up with the bigger files these high resolution cameras produce. With four GB, eight GB, and 16 GB capacities, you may be able to store more photos without having to delete old photos on the card before you have the chance to save them to a PC or print them out.
Store More of Everything
The bigger capacities of SDHC cards make them more versatile than ever. Use them in all your mobile devices that support the SDHC standard. All that is needed is an SDHC matched slot or reader. SDHC is an expansion of the original SD standard that enables capacities greater than two GB. It uses the same physical form factor as SD, but SDHC cards only work in SDHC matched devices. Standard SD cards work in both SD and SDHC devices backward compatible.
Enjoy Faster move Speeds
Basic SD cards move data up to six times 6x the data rate of the standard CD ROM speed 900 kB/s. Transcend SDHC class six cards offer a minimum of six MB/s write speeds under the most calling for storage conditions. Many cameras require a quick card to be able to record video smoothly or catch many still photographs in fast succession. Check your device for maximum compatibility for your meant handling patterns.

Features
Completely matched with SD 2.0 Standards SDHC Class six compliant matched with all SDHC labeled host devices not matched with standard SD Easy to use, plug and play operation fitted Error Correcting Code ECC to detect and correct move errors Complies with Secure Digital Music Initiative SDMI movable device prerequisites Supports Content Protection for Recordable Media CPRM lets In System Programming ISP for updating firmware Supports auto standby, power off and sleep modes Mechanical write protection switch RoHS compliant Lifetime Warranty
Ensure Your Device is SDHC Compatible
SDHC devices can use both older SD cards and SDHC high capacity cards. But older cameras and other devices that were released before the SDHC standard may not support the new SDHC cards. Check your device documentation to verify compatibility before buy. If your device is pretty new or states support for four GB or greater SD cards, then you already have SDHC support.

Digital Camera Storage Capacity Table
Memory cards should be bought as indicated by how high the resolution or DPI dots per inch of your digital camera is i.E. How many megapixels it has, and how many pictures you plan on taking at a time. Transcend provided the following graph to help you in purchasing an proper capacity card for your camera:

Storage Capacity Camera Type / estimated Number of Pictures two MP three MP four MP five MP six MP eight MP ten MP four GB 4550 3412 2048 1638 1280 1048 816 eight GB 9100 6824 4096 3276 2560 2096 1632
The “File size” represented here assumes that the highest resolution DPI your camera supports can be used and that pictures are stored in standard JPEG format. The real number of pictures you may be able to take will differ based on your digital camera’s resolution and compression settings, structure complexity of the pictures taken, also as lighting and contact factors.

Great cheap 8GB SDHC card,

&nbsp,&nbsp,

I newly bought this 8GB SDHC card for my Canon SD1000 camera. The card works well and I have had no problems with it so far. If you are in the market for an cheap high quality SDHC card, this can be the one for you. Sorry, I kind of sounded like a used car salesman right there, did not I? I guarantee you that I do not work for Transcend. But, here is why I think this card is awesome:

Pros:

Affordable!

Large 8GB capacity

Class six read/write speed which is the fastest speed now available

Lifetime warranty at least that is what the package says :

Transcend is a reputable company that is been making memory merchandise for a long time. I swear to the tech Gods that I do not work for them!

Cons:

I can not think of any now. The closest thing to a “Con” that I can think of is that if you purchase this card now, it’ll most likely become cheaper in a month or so : No, make that two weeks.

IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT SDHC MEMORY CARDS:

SDHC cards aren’t matched with most older SD cameras, SD devices, or SD card readers.

SDHC cards are rated by speed using different “classes”. There are now three data move speed classes available for SDHC cards. These classes are “class 2, class 4, and class 6″. As an example, “Class 2″ could have the slowest read/write speed while “Class 6″ has the fastest read/write speed. If you have a device in which speed may play a crucial role, be sure you purchase a higher “class” SDHC card. Again, this SDHC card has the fastest read/write speed available now. Class six has a minimum read/write speed of 6mb/sec. While Class two has minimum speed ranking of 2mb/sec, and Class four is 4mb/sec. Starting to see the pattern?

SO what is THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “SD CARDS” AND “SDHC CARDS?

SDHC is just an upgrade to the older SD cards. The reason they upgraded it was to accomplish greater data move speeds AND capacity than earlier possible with normal SD cards. And to do this, they had to redesign the card which is why it is not matched with normal SD devices. This was needed because digital cameras and digital video cameras these days have higher resolutions, which equate to bigger file sizes and faster data move needs.

I hope I have not perplexed everybody by going into this much detail, but I can not help being the nerd that I’m. If you’re perplexed, do not hesitate to comment on this post and I’ll attempt my best to answer your questions. As well, any feedback is generally welcome!

Conclusion: purchase the card if you have a new device that uses SDHC. It rocks! This message was accepted by the “Duke of New Mexico”

Transcend four GB Class six SDHC Card Good Card for SDHC matched Devices,

This review is from: Transcend four GB SDHC Class six Flash Memory Card TS4GSDHC6 Electronics

The Transcend 4GB SDHC CARD Class 6 is a great card for the price. I was at 1st a little cynical about the brand, but I purchase way too many memory cards to disregard a great price when I see one. And I am happy to report that I have experienced decent performance and dependability issues with this card. That is as in comparison to other cards I own as well as SanDisk, PNY and Kingston.

As long as your devices are matched with the SDHC format, this card is a good purchase. Four GB is a nice size though I do favor eight GB capacity for high capacity storage.

The class six speed is the fastest speed available in mass market SDHC cards. Class six guarantees minimum move speeds of six MBs, but I have gotten speeds up to 20Mbs! That makes this card perfect for storing pictures in RAW image formats.

The Class six speed is on par with the Sandisk Extreme III cards that on average are about $15 to $20 more per card. If you do not have an SDHC reader, you may opt to get the package with a reader included to download your pics. If not you may be able to just move your pics directly from your camera with your card still put in. An SDHC card reader may be bought individually if your PC does not have a matched slot.

General SDHC and SD Card Tips

There are some info that I have learned the hard way through purchasing TOO various memory cards.

1. Be sure your device is matched with the card! in regular SD cards, many older electronics are not matched with that big of a size 2 GB. By SDHC cards, be sure your camera or another device is SDHC matched. SDHC is different from regular SD and only newer devices tend to have fitted compatibility

2. Once you install this in your camera or device, you’ll usually want to format the card with your matched device’s interface. That’s because the standard formats for certain devices, especially Canon, are different from the factory installed format

3. Just like your devices, most computer SD card readers aren’t matched with the SDHC format. So use a card reader or download the pictures via USB connection to the camera with the card still installed.

4. For many reason, putting the card in the locked position lets many older laptops to still read it. This is just to be used in a pinch but, and it will not apply to all systems

5. If you didn’t properly format your card, you can be able to save things to it , then have them “disappear.” If this happens to you, be sure you use the software recuperation tools BEFORE you attempt to save anything else to your card. That way, you may be able to retrieve your pictures without over writing them.

6. Be sure you know what you’re going to use this card for. Once you have set up everything and ensured it is all matched, you still have to choose on speed. If you’re using this for storing RAW pictures instead of JPEGs or HD video, step up to the faster class six speed format if you may be able to pay for it.

7. If you’re going to pay more for a faster speed, be sure your device can gain from it. I have read, as an example, that Kodak cameras are set to a fixed voltage and can not go faster than standard speed. So the extra cash spent on Class 4, 5, or six is just wasted.

Conclusion

It’s great to have some number of extra cards on hand just in case. This four GB card is a nice performer. If you have a high capacity camera 10 Megapixels or more and are storing videos or RAW pictures, the extra cash for the 8GB card is worth it. Or you may want to step up to the bigger 16 GB size that’s now available.

Enjoy!

My Canon loves the eight GB SDHC card,
January 15, 2008

By&nbsp,Klondike Kid Alaska See all my reviews

I newly bought a Canon Powershot A720IS digital camera that’s able of recognizing and using up to two TERRABYTES of memory card in the future so I wanted to get the biggest memory card I could install for now. I wanted to use the camera both on dry land and with an underwater housing for shooting stills and video on dive trips. Camera specifications said an eight GB SDHC card could record one hour of hi res video at 30 fps. Or almost 2300 hi res stills at eight megapixels.

A test of the Transcend 8GB SDHC card in the camera ended up shooting 70 minutes of full screen, 30fps digital video that couldn’t be distinguished from my DV camcorder video quality. Playback from the memory card to the TV was so fast & economical there was never a single “stutter” on the screen. The card speed is genuinely FAST as advertised. Low level formatting of the card allowed for satisfactory rapid fire sequential still photo shooting speeds when light levels were bright enough that the flash wasn’t needed/used. Something like two photos every three seconds. Files were flawless in display, both for stills and video.

This product was considerably lower in price than the Kingston 8GB SDHC card I first bought with the camera. I have used both interchangeably and can not see any different in the speed or capacity and quality of imagery is same. For the money I will stick with Transcend and am looking forward to to get their 16GB card once the price drops considerably below the $100 mark. That could supply almost two 1/2 hours of video on my still camera or 4600 highest quality stills. I am scared my camcorder will be collecting dust most of the time. A big advantage to video on the card is there aren’t MOVING PARTS, e.G. A mini DV tape cassette and camcorder or VCR playback unit required to dump the video and stills to my Mac for editing and burning DVDs. I just stick the card in the MicroMate USB card reader, plug it in the computer and bingo, prepared to sort thru and dump to the hard drive. Since the card is formatted by a Canon camera it automatically boots up the Canon Viewer software too. That should work the same for other brands of still cameras formatting this chip.
