Comment on Professional Two Pack Battery and Charger Kit includes 2 Replacement High Capacity Nikon EN-EL12 Batteries + Digi… by Chris Lee Mullins.
Good and fast memory, poor build quality,
I have a love/hate relationship with PNY. I’ve always been enamored with their prices, going back to the days of the GeForce4600 Graphics cards (they were one of the first vendors on the shelves). But they must cut some corners as far as QA is concerned. The plastic housing on all three of these 8GB cards have issues when inserting/ejecting from my Canon HF10, PS3 and Wii. The size of the card is slightly larger than the receptacle. I have the same problem with a Transcend SDHC 16GB card. Odds are, both PNY and Transcend purchase from the same OEM.
I have an 8GB SDHC card from SanDisk. I’ve never had physical size issues with that card.
I have no complaints as far as speed is concerned. Even though the card is branded as a Class 4 card, the HF10 rates it as a Class 6 and sustained transfer rates are in the 12 – 15MB/s range.
I can’t speak to reliability. So far, I haven’t had any issues with data retention, but then, I don’t use these for long term storage. Nor would I ever recommend anyone use this class of flash for **any** long term storage purposes. That’s what tape, CDR and DVDR are for.
