After visiting SanDisk's web site and checking their compatibility list I decided to buy the 128MB SD card for my Palm M505. According to SanDisk's site the card is compatible with the M505; the packaging even has the "Palm" logo on it with the words, "Designed for Palm Handhelds". Fact is that the 128Mb SD from SanDisk does NOT work in Palm devices. I sent support e-mail to both SanDisk and Palm. Palm pointed their finger at SanDisk and SanDisk never responded. I did some research on my own and found that the controller used in the 128MB SD card is not the same as other flavors of SanDisk SD cards, and is in fact NOT compatible with Palm Handhelds. Shame on SanDisk for not doing their homework and shame on Palm for letting SanDisk use their trademark without verifying that the product actually is "Designed for Palm Handhelds".

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SanDisk SDSDB-128-A10 Secure Digital 128MB, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

I bought the SanDisk 128MB SD card for use with my new Casio EX-M1 digital camera. Popped it in and immediately ran into problems -the camera wouldn't recognize that the card was empty after formatting.

A quick call to Casio customer support solved the problem. The camera ships with the 1.00 firmware. In order to work with SanDisk's 128MB card, the 1.01 firmware is needed. After downloading the updated firmware, the card worked immediately.

I'm now quite pleased with the card's performance. It works as advertised and the expansion from the camera's built-in 12 MB to 128 MB is quite dramatic. I can now store about 160 fine resolution pictures at full-size. What more can you ask of a memory card?

I bought this SanDisk Secure Data card to use with my Magellan Meridian GPS. SD cards from Magellan are outrageously over priced and they don't tell you, you can use one of these. But it works perfectly and saved me about 70% on the cost. It was a fantastic value.
