PhotoFast 533X CF cards

[gasrocks]

Anyone here using the new (to me at least) PhotoFast 533X cards? Just curious to see how fast they really are in use.

80MB/s Read and 80MB/s write WOW! :shock:

And look at the price. Transcend have a new 600X faster card but there is a huge price difference.

I didn't see a price for them. I did stumble on their SD to CF adapter...I didn't know that you could do that! I have a few SD cards laying around that could be put to use in my DSLR!...:cool:

I just ordered one from www.dvnation.com (http://www.dvnation.com). I got a 32GB card for $129 plus shipping. Hope I get it by this weekend.:D

That's right 533x 80/80mb write and read 8gb cards are shipping.

I hope they work as advertised!

Where did you see this device? I only saw a micro-sd adapter.:?:

Just did a little checking and it appears the comment from Rob Galbraith about the cards doesnt appear on his site so makes me wonder about its authenticity.

Great if they work as quickly as quoted and are as reliable as Lexar or Sandisk but I think i will be sticking to Lexar and Sandisk.

I tell all my students that if they shoot with a Canon, avoid Lexar. Too many possible issues. I see R.G. even mentioning it.

Actually, I gave you the wrong link :o THIS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015EXX5E/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000YZGCIU&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1XES38VVQEBTT2N94ZVZ) is the one from PhotoFast....sorry. I have never used one but when I pick one up I'll let you know what I think.

I have an 8GB 533X CF card on the way from China (should be here tomorrow??) and ordered a 32GB from the first link given. I do not expect blazing speed really. Hope I am wrong.

OK, got my 32GB 533X card from Dvnation. Hmmm... I have heard of counterfeits but never seen one. Came w/o any bubble pack, or lit. Nothing on the back side of the card. Does make me wonder. It works well though. Fastest card I own, based on my own test. Have not gotten my 8GB 533X card from China yet. will be interesting to compare them.

[gasrocks]

I sent an email to dvnation asking for an answer. Yes, it looks like a knock off.

[gasrocks]

Just got an answer from Dvnation. That's good. They buy in bulk w/o retail packaging. Guess that makes sense. i'll still be curious to compare it to the one coming from China. So far, so good. Probably used the new card for 300 pix this afternoon.

Update: have probably put 7K images through my only PhotoFast card. Had about 6 corrupted files. I'm not used to that. I suppose that isn't bad overall. At this point I'll not buy any more PhotoFast cards.
