Conclusion: Great Little Card
Review: This card works great with my Nikon D60. After formating the card I can get over 1,000 RAW images on the card and over 2,000 fine images. All images are set to large. The write speed is very fast.

Conclusion: inexpensive, fast, huge
Review: I have a Panasonic HDC-SD5 that uses SDHC cards. Bought two of these for my daughter's birth. I formatted both cards in the camera, and less than a minute later, each card is showing me 174 minutes of recording at the highest quality the camera supports.
Shot about an hour of footage of visiting grandparents, using both cards to make sure they both work, burned an SD DVD of the proceedings before the grandparents were out the door. Everything works beautifully, everyone is thrilled with the video, daughter is adorable (this was not altered by the purchase of this product :)
What more can I say? With as little as I spent, this is an amazing value for the money.

Conclusion: Can only use 1GB of 8GB card!?!
Review: This card would not work to capacity in my Panasonic HD camcorder, or any other camcorder that requires sdhc. I would get about 1 GB of video on the card and then I would get errors on 3 different HD camcorders! I sent it in for warranty and magically, ADATA lost it. They make horrible products and then their service BLOWS! Don't buy anything from these guys!

Conclusion: Speed grade may not be correct
Review: Watch out! May be inferior product. I got a speed grade class 2 (slow) even though package says class 6 (fast).
I bought two of these A-DATA 16GB Turbo SDHC "Class 6" memory cards for my Canon Vixia HF-100 camcorder. I put them in (one at a time -duh) and the HF-100 reports one card as CLASS 6 -Yeah!, but the other as CLASS 2 -Boo!
A real disappointment for me as the HF-100 needs class 4 or better to record in FXP mode. I get a nasty popup on the view finder "Class 2 memory. Cannot record in FXP mode". Bummer!
I can't help but throw in the specutation on how they are able to get such a great cost and beat the competition: buy reducing quality, accepting more marginal parts in their test programs, and use tier II foundaries. There are lots of ways to cut cost in production, but in the end it comes to quality. I am certain that every part that leaves the factory is tested, that is normally how semiconductors are fabricated, so why then did the part I receive not meet spec? Surely it must be because the parts are marginal and they are not testing all corner cases. Certainly companies like SanDisk who have a much broader business at risk would not risk lowering quality standards to achieve short profit gains.
In conclusion, if you want a 16GB part and are willing to take some risk on performance (speed/integrity) this might be the part for you.
If you absolutely need Class 6, and cannot be bothered to ship things back when they don't work - like me, or are very concerned about data integrity, you may want to go with a more well known supplier who has an established qualty record and name to uphold.
I should rate this product a 1 because of the performance issues, but in the end I was able to use the slower speed part in my Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 camera and it works ok there (no speed grade requirement on that camera). So I manage to salvage a bad situation.
Now I am going to order another 16GB card. This time I will try Transcend. Ha! No they are not SanDisk! But the HF-100 recognized a Transcend 8GB card I had laying around as a class 6, so maybe the 16GB will be ok too. I know I am taking some risk with Transcend too, but I just can't bring myself to fork out the dough for SanDisk. After I loose all my vacation videos and pics I may reconsider my penny pinching tactics though -we'll see.
Update: the two Transcend 16GB parts were recognized my the HF-100 just fine

Conclusion: Works great in HP iPAQ 111
Review: I bought this for my HP iPAQ 111 and it works just fine. I down loaded several GB of power point, word, and PDF files and it all works well.
