SanDisk 2GB SD Memory Card (SDSDB-2048, Bulk Package)

I have bought 3 or 4 of these now for different cameras, phones and other gadgets. I have never had one fail and each time I buy one it has been less expensive than the previous. Thats a refreshing change. Always nice when a product works as intended.

I've got a Kingston in my phone, but I have to say that I'm absolutely sold on SanDisk. I have a Sansa e260 MP3 player that I really wanted to double the capacity of, but I didn't know for sure if it was compatible with the High Capacity cards. So I just went with the 2GB model to be sure.

I popped it in my phone and then in my MP3 player and it works just like it's supposed to. By comparison, when I bought my LG phone from Verizon, I had to go through 3 Kingston cards before finding one that worked.

Don't expect any fancy packaging or you'll be disappointed. Mine came in the plastic storage case (note that the card and adapter were secure inside, not flopping around loose) simply dropped in a padded mailing envelope small enough to fit into my post office box. (I have the smallest box available).

Oh, I almost forgot... The shipping. Three days. Three days from 'click to order' to 'pull up outside the post office'. Hard to beat that... Amazon and their partners are, in my opinion, committed to customer satisfaction. I could go on, but then you'd just think I was employed by Amazon, so I'll just shut up, now...

I was hesitant at first, given the relatively low cost, but I'm very satisfied. I bought 3 of these 2gb SD cards. My iPaq has no problems reading them, neither does my PC. I reformatted them to FAT32, but that's something I do anyway, not something necessarily required.

I much prefer SD cards to CF and other formats, because of the small "pocketable" size, and the write-protect switch. You could easily carry 10 or 20 of these loose in your pocket, if you wanted.

Check the Shipping charge before buying. It's $4.50/item, which makes it more expensive than a Kingston 2GB SD at $12.49 directly from Amazon (when you reach the $25 free shipping situation).

I purchased this for my Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver), and together they operate flawlessly. Worked right from the package. The overall delivery was sooner than expected. It got here on the 2nd day after the order date. It came with a little plastic case, roomy for the memory card itself. Seems like an oem since it doesnt have original packaging.
5 stars nonetheless.
