Are Kingston 133X Compact Flash cards (4 or 8GB) Reliable?

I currently have some Lexar 1GB cards (first cards I bought) but mostly using newer SanDisk Ultra II 2GB cards in a Nikon D200. In the past, larger cards didn't seem too reliable from what I had heard, but wondering if they have improved the quality to where you can count on them. I found a great deal online where it comes down to $10/GB.

Kingston has been one of the leaders in memory products for over fifteen years. Their memory cards are some of the best.





I too use a couple of D200's and 4GB cards are large enough for most situations. I usually shoot RAW + JPEG basic.





$10 a meg is just about right





BTW I know of no camera that can support 133x yet.
Reply:Here is a website this is a little old but a lot of the information is still good and give you some of your answers.





I have a couple of Lexars but I shoot mostly using Transcend 2 GB 120x, 80x, 75x and I am using a Nikon D200 and D2Xs and I have no problem and also shooting in raw. I have about 15 of these cards because if the card decides to die I only lost what was 2GB of photos instead of 4GB. I have had only one card ever die on me and that was a long time ago.





Those 2GB Transcend CFC cards only ran me about $25.

PS Nikon supports 133x just so you know.





Hope this helps,
