Wait 2 more months is more cheaper for SD cards.

Lexar Professional should be lifetime warranty. I bought the Pro CF card before. Lifetime warranty. One to one exchange. No problems at all. But still better check with Eastgear just in case this batch of card maybe special arrangement. For example, Sandisk standard SD cards have different warranties, depending on seller.

Yeh bought my Lexar 2 Gb liao... Noticed tat it is in fat format... Should i change to fat 32 or 16 or juz leave it. I in intend to use the sd card on canon s3. Pls advice.... Thanks in advance...

i also got the lexar 2gb card. something weird about it thought. My laptop can recognise it fine using the supplied card reader, and transfer speeds are great, but it can't be read by my laptop's built in SD card reader.

There's nothing wrong with my laptop though, works fine with any other SD card I have.

I also noticed that using my other card reader, the file reading and transfer speed using this 2gb 133x sd card became very slow.... Seems that it only works well using the supplied lexar reader....wonder y....

any ideas?

Not all available SD card readers support the reading of 2GB cards. If I am not wrong, some people have commented on that on other photo forums as well.

just bought the 2gb sd lexar. read the fine print and it appears that some readers/cameras may not support this sd card

has anyone used the 2gb sd lexar with the ixus 800 and does it work?

haha, u bought the ixus 800?

[currahee]

does the ixus800 benefit from these hi speed SD cards?

[ricleo]

I think the ixus 800 will work just fine with a normal speed SD card. I had used mine with a normal speed, and everything worked very fast and zippy.

Perhaps the only improvement in speed will come from the saving of video clips into the memory card. I noticed the ixus always needs a few seconds to save the clips after you stop shooting the video.

Ixus does not have raw mode, so it does not benefit as much from the high speed cards.
