Transcend offers a great combination -- a 16 GB SDHC card and a truly compact card reader -- for an extremely competitive price. There are 16 gig SDHC cards on the market for more than three times the money.
The reader also allows me to interchange the 16 gig card with a Transcend 8 gig SDHC card that I bought separately, which increases the versatility of both items.
But wait, there's more. ;)
I own an ASUS EEE PC computer (Asus Eee PC 4G (7 Screen, 800 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Pearl White) that comes with a built-in SDHC slot to enhance on-board hard disk capacity. With the 8 gig Transcend card, and the 16 gig card and the reader it comes with, I can use both if I want to slap 24 super-portable, solid state gigs of fast memory on my EEE when I'm traveling. I've run both cards through the SDHC slot without problem, and using the card reader, I've also tried both from all 3 of the built-in USB slots and from USB hubs attached to each of the 3 USB slots as well.
Bottom line? They work great -- and especially with the ASUS EEE PC.
Good job, Transcend -- highly recommended.
Fast and stable. You may have to download KB934428 HotFix from Microsoft to make it work in your integrated card reader. February 13, 2008

( I can't provide the web link to the HotFix because Amazon filters web links, you can search for KB934428 at Google and get a direct link for download / you'll have to validate your copy of Windows before download)
We don't use this card in a camera, we use it to back up or XP system partitions when using Ghost or Acronis and our throughputs have improved tremendously compared to imaging the %systemdrive% to even another internal SATA drive.
The included adapter is a bonus and it has an orange status light to display read activity.
Five Stars !

Have to give this one all five stars. I've been recording video with a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder at the highest resolution 1920x1080 @ 60i, thats 60 interlaced frames per second, I really expected this flash card to give me problems because of the low price, but to its credit I've been able to record approx. 2 hours of nonstop video with no hicups. Very solid product, I currently own two of them.
Transcending SanDisk June 14, 2008

I use SanDisk Extreme III (Lumix FZ50) in my professional work, and Ultra II (Lumix TZ5) in my snapshots and most vacations. At the time, the 8 Gb was excellent, and could hold more pix than I would ordinarily take. Wanted to try a 16 Gb, and couldn't find an Extreme, though it was listed, so when I saw the Transcend, thought I'd try it. A friend had the 4 and 8 Gb, and liked them. So I bought, and so far, though it doesn't officially have the weather capabilities of the Extreme, I can't tell the difference in speed of r/w, and find no difference in pic quality. For significantly less money, for non-wilderness/severe weather use, the Transcend appears to be every bit as fast and as good as the SanDisk. The card reader it came with is not quite as nice as the SanDisk's, but so far (3 months of use) works just as well. The 16 has more capacity than I've been able to fill so far, but that just means I don't have to switch cards midstream, and can take marginal pix in addition to primaries, and edit what doesn't come out well. I will consider Transcend along with SanDisk in the future, and unless there is a clear technical advantage, will go with Transcend's lower price.

I've used this with my Canon HF-100 for about a month so far. No problems at all.
