Default So, how does the Lexar 32x 512 MB SD stack?
I'd love to know where the Lexar 32x 512 MB SD stack up to the Ultra II...

All I know is it is MUCH faster than the Kingston 512 - based upon subjective evaluation!

I'd love to see the results on a Panasonic 512. Too bad they didn't send you one.

Since you'll be reading from the iPAQ 95% of the time, no, a "slower" card is a better investment. The cards that excel at writing speeds are more important in cameras.

I'm planning on updating this test a few months from now, so I'll give Lexar another try then. I did contact them for this review, but they never got back to me.

Here's a funny story: they DID send me one, but it turned out to be a blank plastic dummy cart! I kid you not - I then requested a REAL card, but never got it. Sigh. :roll:

What a shame. I only use Panasonics so I would be very interested in the results here.

Maybe that's why the Kingston 512MB SD card is now selling for only $62.80 after a rebate.

That's why I initially bought it (and where I bought it). No wonder it's so cheap
