Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6 S5W

Approximately the size of a postage stamp, SDHC cards offer greater capacity than standard SD cards while maintaining the same form factor.

SDHC Class 6 cards offer more capacity and faster transfer rates.

Display thousands of high quality photos on SDHC enabled digital photo frames.

Ideal for expanding storage capabilities of netbooks and mini laptops with SDHC slots.

Store More Photos
With most point and shoot digital cameras quickly climbing the megapixel ladder, 6,8, and even 10 megapixel ratings are beginning to be commonplace. With Transcend SDHC cards, you can keep up with the larger files these high resolution cameras produce. With 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB capacities, you can store more photos without having to delete old photos on the card before you have the chance to save them to a PC or print them out.

Store More of Everything
The larger capacities of SDHC cards make them more versatile than ever. Use them in all your mobile devices that support the SDHC standard. All that is required is an SDHC compatible slot or reader. SDHC is an extension of the original SD standard that enables capacities greater than 2 GB. It uses the same physical form factor as SD, but SDHC cards only work in SDHC compatible devices. Standard SD cards work in both SD and SDHC devices (backward compatible).

Enjoy Faster Transfer Speeds
Basic SD cards transfer data up to six times (6x) the data rate of the standard CD-ROM speed (900 kB/s). Transcend SDHC class 6 cards offer a minimum of 6 MB/s write speeds under the most demanding storage conditions. Some cameras require a high speed card to be able to record video smoothly or capture multiple still photographs in rapid succession. Check your device for maximum compatibility for your intended usage patterns.

Ensure Your Device is SDHC Compatible
SDHC devices can use both older SD cards and SDHC (high capacity) cards. However older cameras and other devices that were released before the SDHC standard may not support the new SDHC cards. Please check your device documentation to verify compatibility before purchase. If your device is fairly new or states support for 4 GB or greater SD cards, then you already have SDHC support.

Digital Camera Storage Capacity Table
Memory cards should be purchased according to how high the resolution or DPI (dots per inch) of your digital camera is (i.e. how many megapixels it has), and how many pictures you plan on taking at a time. Transcend has provided the following graph to assist you in buying an appropriate capacity card for your camera:

Storage Capacity Camera Type / Approximate Number of Pictures 2 MP 3 MP 4 MP 5 MP 6 MP 8 MP 10 MP 8 GB 9100 6824 4096 3276 2560 2096 1632 16 GB 18200 13648 8192 6552 5120 4192 3264

*The “File size” represented here assumes that the highest resolution (DPI) your camera supports is used and that pictures are stored in standard JPEG format. The actual number of pictures you can take will vary depending on your digital camera’s resolution and compression settings, composition (complexity) of the images taken, as well as lighting and exposure factors.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Works Fine in My Cowon D2 MP3 Player…
…so it does exactly what I bought it for so far. Formatted it, popped it into my D2 and started loading my music, lectures and audio books onto it.

Load time was very reasonable, certainly not too slow. Flawless function thus far. It’s been in my D2 for about 6 weeks now. Time will tell if the card holds up over the long haul. If it does, it was an exceptional value for the cost at the time I bought it (these things keep dropping in price almost by the hour it seems here lately).

5 Stars Excellent value, works great with my Canon Vixia HF10!
I’ve used this for weeks with my Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to record high definition video files (AVCHD format). It works great - and I’m very happy with the price. I bought one card by itself and one with the reader - combined with my onboard memory I should be set for most projects. I really like to use the reader since it leaves my camcorder free - and it’s so much handier (for some reason by design the camcorder won’t run off batteries when it is downloading files, so you have to plug it in to the wall outlet and also plug it into the computer with a USB 2.0 cable; with the little card reader all I do is pop out the card and plug it into the reader and plug that into the USB outlet).

4 Stars Great value
As I was traveling in China for 2 months, I needed something to store a massive amount of pictures on my Nikon D90. I ended up almost filling it all. I was also constantly outputting images through to the net using the adapter. It’s light, compact and a much better alternative to a cable. No glitches, no quirks, no problems whatsoever. Best solution and great value.

Note: cameras tend to get slower as the amount of pictures on the card increases. You won’t notice it on small 1 or 2 gig cards, but at 16 gb, carrying easily over 6000 pics, you’ll probably notice that your camera might get a sly sluggish on previews.

5 Stars Great Card and Card Reader
Bought this product from Amazon and received within 3 days. Great service. Memory card is also quite good, it’s a 16GB Class 6 SDHC card and I got it for my new Canon Rebel XSi DSLR Camera to save the images in RAW format. RAW file size is huge, around 16MB for 1 photo. So with this card I can comfortably take 1000 pics without formatting. As it is a class 6 SDHC card, camera read/write speed is also fast. Another great stuff is the card reader. I am using MacBook Aluminum and it doesn’t have in built card reader. So this external card reader is great help for me. I don’t have to connect the camera with USB cable with MacBook. Just pull the SDHC card, put it in card reader and plug the card reader into the USB port of MacBook. Then iPhoto or Adobe Lightroom instantly detect the storage and transfer it fast.

5 Stars Inexpensive and Fast!
I was upgrading my SD Card from a Class 4 to a Class 6 and I must say this Transcend Class 6 is awesome!!

I can only assume that some people’s reviews saying the card is no faster is predicated by the type of system or device they are using.

I tested both in my digital camera, camcorder, as well as, directly in OSX and I noticed significant performance increase.

Ordered on Monday at 4pm and received the following day at 10am. You have to love Amazon!!!
