Some reviews from Play's site.


Average rating (24 reviews)

Quote:
I've bought two of these for the Nikon D60 DSLR. I can get just over 600 10.2 megapixel images in RAW format on each of them, and I'll be getting another two to bring me up to four to last me my entire holiday.

I've had no issues with any file corruption, transfer speeds are great, and its an excellent all-round performer in the SD card market.

Works brilliantly under XP Pro SP3 in my Asus EeePC 900 series. Plugged it in, opened Device Manager, changed it to "Optimize for performance", then formatted it as NTFS as opposed to FAT32. I've moved my entire My Documents folder to the memory card and I've still got oodles of space left. I never remove the card from the Eee, there's no need to. I'll be getting a 32GB one as soon as they're more affordable, but for now, and certainly at this price, this is the best option for increasing your storage space on your Eee.

I purchased this card to use with a Samsung NV24HD.it gives me 2800 pics at the highest resolution (10m pixels) or 2hours 45 mins of HD quality video.It is quite simply the best value SD card on the market.Buy it now.

I'm not sure where Play source their cards, but I bought a 2Gb Micro SD card from them the other day and it was so faulty that it fried my laptop's inbuilt card reader. All I could smell was a strong burning smell. I tried it in a cheap USB card reader and that one fried too. Just beware - some things aren't as cheap as they first appear.

Blimey, sounds quite nasty. I must say that this sounds very unlike Play's cards, I and many others I know have had quite a few over the years and not had a single issue. The 23, 5 out of 5 star reviews for this card seem to back up it's quality.
