Customer Reviews:

Good memory card, great support from Kingston
I've had good luck with Kingston memory cards. My 1 GB card failed after 4 months, but Kingston has a lifetime warranty and the RMA process is painless. They even pay for Fed Ex shipping of the failed memory. I had my brand new card much faster than I expected and it works great.

Great Product
I recently bought the 1GB card for my PDA. I use it frequenty to move files between my laptop (through card reader) and PDA. It is quick, easy and flawless. No issues, no loss of files and never any errors. So far I am extremely satisfied and would recommend others to buy it.

High speed @ low price
I got this after trying to find a Sandisk Ultra deal on Amazon.

This came plenty cheaper and is fast enough for use in my Canon S2 IS.

Most Reviews Here Are Not for This Card
This card is the 2 GB Ultimate 120X It has a tested write speed 120 times 150kb/sec which exceeds 18 mb per second. Frequently card manufacturers advertise their read speed, which is always much faster. Analyze your file size for pictures you take and the speed in mb/sec will tell you how many of those pictures you can store in one second.

That impacts time between pictures. For cameras, write speed is the most important, but the speed rating of the card doesn't necessarily tell you its write speed. For music players and other devices, read speed may be more important. So you might choose a different card depending on whether you intend to use it to play music or take pictures. I'm currently shopping for SD cards for a camera with the capability to shoot 3 pictures per second with large file sizes. In order not to slow the camera down, I need a fast card. I have done some research and realized that the reviews here aren't necessarily even related to this particular card, but are for all different sizes and speeds of Kingston cards. Kingston has been in the memory business for a long time and they are conservative in their ratings. This card is #1 on my list right now because of its tested write speed.
