We see them online whenever MagicLantern is mentioned with their fantastic pricing and read/write performance. Pricing being half those of name brands like Sandisk/Lexar and performance nearing the limit of UDMA 7.

I favour the 4-PACKs being offered but I keep reading quality control issues. Not to mention in the future when I want to sell them eventually it will be a tough sell to people who rely on name brands.

128GB 1066x CF card 4-PACK sells for $500 ($125/card) which is an awesome bargain imo. With such large cards I would prefer to have one card per camera.

As you can see nobody is answering and I guess nobody has heard of this brand. If you feel the performance of their cards is great and they have good record of warranty support & life expectancy of CF cards.


I want to guest blog on your Landscape / Travel photography blog, PM for details

Could you list the URL of where they can be bought please? I'd like to give one a try, and see if I can see the speed difference.

Well for what is worth...this is my first impression...

I just received two Komputerbay 64GB 1066x I ordered from amazon at $89.00 each. I've never used this brand before but I bought them to increase the shots I can take while shooting sports. I tested it and I can get 45 raw shots non-stop until the buffer kicks in (Canon 7D MK II). With my old Duracell 32GB 600X I was getting 25 raw shots. So I did get the improvement that I was looking for.

BTW, I never had problems with my Duracell cards and I expect the same performance from my new Komputerbay cards as well. I just checked and they have the Komputerbay 128GB 1000X for $112.00

I hope this helps the OP.

HINT: For whatever reason, Amazon has them cheaper than ordering from komputerbay's website.
