1st class postage for $5 on this - deal breaker for me....sorry woot!

I'll second that!

I know it's difficult to anticipate demand, but for a product that doesn't sell out immediately, it would have been nice not to limit it to two apiece.

No. Your camera freezes because it is recharging the flash. On most compact consumer cameras this can take around 5 seconds or more.

thank the gods i picked up some five guys, makes this woot off bearable

A highly overrated SD card. Rated as a class 10 but performs as a class 4.
If you are making video recordings get a better well known brand card.

Nope, you need to get the update from Adobe.

Except for the fact that a 128GB would have to be SDXC format, not compatible with everything these days yet.

Classic!

I bought this card the last time it was available on Woot. I have used an identical card for about one year. I use the cards in my camcorder. With this card, I can record over nine hours of video. I know others have discouraged buying the card, but for my use, it has worked very well. Now with two cards, I can record over 18 hours of video and save it in a very small space.

Are these fast enough to use for ReadyBoost? Hmmm, Wikipedia says 2.5MB/s read, 1.75MB/s write is good enough, this claims to be 10/10 MB/s. So it looks like a Yes!

Buy two!!

Not as much as Superdawg in Chicago does!

bought one of these a few months back here. Can't be more pleased, works great in a DSLR, holds 5000 images, and you never run out of space. I don't know about others, but my experience is fine with this, and the prices is good. Just sayin....

roadblock...not really much of a deal and looks like lots to sell

I've found that shooting in RAW with an added flash on the hot shoe takes away most if not all lag. The camera will shoot as fast as it can flip the shutter.

any write data on this? Does it write at 20mb/s or faster?

EDIT - I'm an Krampus, who didn't read far enough down. 10mb/s is too slow, pass.

Ahh, precious memories

Flash drives can fail. I hope you have backups somewhere else.

Woot-off!

This card didn't get particularly stellar reviews over at Amazon, but it will work with the Canon XS that was just up.

It is nice having a fast card with a good digital camera... it won't take photos any faster, but when you're copying huge numbers of files OFF of the camera, you don't want to have to wait around forever.

Would this work in my Xoom?

They already did tripods! LOL!

May I remind you Woot is Amazon so prices will be close.

I've never had issues with anything Centon that I've ordered from Woot in the past.

In for two.

Ok for this wootoff I have bought on Home.woot and shirt.woot..... I want something good on the regular woot!

Bought one to do my part. I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Probably shove it in my Wii and forget about it forever.

Very misleading. They still operate on their own, and often sell items not even available on amazon. When they do sell items available on amazon, there's still a noticeable discount even after the $5 shipping. Otherwise, why would you even be here?

Off the topic but does anyone else have trouble logging into Home Woot? I am logged in perfectly to all others but it will NOT log me into Home Woot.

Any sort of media can fail - flash, optical, hard drive, floppy or tape. Recordable CDs/DVDs don't last forever either.

That's why it's always a good idea to have multiple backups. The odds are that all your backups won't fail at once (it's not guaranteed, of course) - but at least with more than one backup you don't have a Single Point of Failure.

that translates to four words!!!

A CF Gitzo or Manfrotto would suit me just fine.

Just bought two for the new Panasonic GH2

Is this Burgandy Olfactory Center without the bag?

I've bought this before from woot.

I didn't believe the poor reviews until the card froze on the and said it was blank (while it actually held a couple months worth of pictures) I tried about 4 different card readers until I got one that somehow accessed the pictures. After that, I never used this card again.

I guess its an ok card if you back up your pictures frequently and don't care about losing some of them.

S___, these are not micro, jumped to quickly before looking, that's why I get for wooting with out my glasses.

My ZipDrive should be able to read this card, right?

I have owned 2 of these, with zero failures, and decent write speeds.
