Anyone has a link for a review on this card .. I just want to see how fast it is ..
I remember buying one from Costco only to return it few days later because it was soooo slow !

While not a review of this specific card, there are few Kingstons listed here. All of them had sort of middle of the road performance:

Rob Galbraith CF Card Tests

Note that these tests were run on a 350D (Digital Rebel XT) which has write speeds similar to the 20D and roughly 3.5x faster than the original 300D (Digital Rebel) and 10D cameras.

for the kingston 512 SD, it says under tech specs that speed is 99.0, does that mean 99x? i thought 60X was the fastest for SD, and i have a Dane Elect 60x sd card.

thanks for the info

I wouldn't go by specs. They often overstate the performance. Take a look at this.

I personally just spent the extra money on a Sandisk Ultra 2 for $83. They are so much faster.

the SD card won't ship till may 9
