Strengths: Very, very, fast
Weaknesses: too fast for my camera/most cameras(?)
(can't take advantage of the added speed of the card)
Summary: This card is quite fast, but is no faster than the Kingston Elite Pro when used with my Panasonic FZ5. This card is unnecessarily fast.
I think this is because the camera technology isn't up to speed yet with the card technology. So though some cameras (my Pana FZ5) can benefit from the 10mb/sec Elite Pro, they don't function any faster with the 20mb/sec (133x) Kingston Ultimate.
Reccomendation: If you can get it for as good a price as the Elite Pro, buy it as they may have cameras soon that can take advantage of it's speed. Otherwise, just buy the Elite Pro. In fact, many cameras (including the Canon 300D) can't even benefit from the Elite Pro. I understand the Canon sd200 (series et al) can benefit from the Elite Pro but have my doubts about them benefiting from the "Utimate".

Strengths: Fast
Weaknesses: Not too expensive but not the lowest price
Summary: I needed a high speed card that could stand the 2 MB/sec required when you are making high quality movies (640x480, 30fps) with a digital camera (I have a Canon SD500). This one works fine. The extra bonus is that you also transfer your pictures to the computer faster.

Strengths: reliable, super fast, relatively inexpensive for the quality
Weaknesses: it's actually too fast, which is only a weakness if you pay too much, but plenty of deals are out there
Summary: I bought this card to use with my Nikon digital camera. I chose Kingston for the price and the fact I've had memory in my computer by them and it has always worked perfectly. And so does this SD card. I've never had problems with it and I can shoot video with the camera with no delays as are apparently common with slower cards. The delays in my camera when taking pictures are only cause of the flash and have nothing to do with the card.
The only reason I decided to get a card this fast in the first place was it was only $8 after rebate, which was cheaper than the elite so I figured why not.
I could have gotten the 1gig elite card for a bit more which I which I had now. But ah well, maybe in the future I will be able to take advantage of the speed of this card in another product.

Strengths: Fast.
Weaknesses: You need to spend a little more to get a card with same capacity.
Summary: I use this SD card with my Dell Axim X50v PPC together with a GPS receiver to build a GPS system for direction when I drive. Since all map information is stored in the SD card, this high speed card makes the performance of the GPS software much better!

Strengths: Fast, inexpensive
Weaknesses: N/A
Summary: I bought this model mainly for the price which was on special for $10 after rebate. It is very fast but as other reviewers have pointed out most cameras cannot take advantage of the higher speed difference from the regular SD card. Better use it for other applications. Kingston is a reliable brand; I've been happy with their memory products so far.

Strengths: Very Sturdy.
Fast.
Weaknesses: none.
Summary: I brought this flash card for my MyMusix mp3 player. This is my first secure digital flash card that I ever brought. I think the build quality is great. I happened to drop it from my hand once. It hits my concrete driveway and bounce a few time. I was thinking that it is gonna be dead then. However, it is still going strong in my mp3 player. Speed wise, it is quite impressive when I use it with my player. The transition between one song to the next one took only a few second.
Overall, I am quite happy with my purchase and would buy another one of this soon.

Strengths: fast, fast, fast
Weaknesses: price
Summary: It is the latest introduction from Kingston, ultimate secure digital 133x. There is no problem at all with speed. I have the kingston elite version, honestly, I don't feel the speed difference. Considering the price factor, for normal users, maybe elite version or early kingston products would be sufficient

Strengths: -Speed
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: Till now, I am satisfied with this product. Not that I have done any speed test on it, but it performs well and have had no problems with it. I used this in a Canon SD 200 camera and it gave no problems, even transferred to computer with no data corruption. As far as reliability goes, that can only be told after long term use which I cannot comment on now as I have used it just 1 week.

Summary: This card is super fast! I have no problem using it to record movies using my camcorder at 640x480 resolution. This card is sturdy, too. I dropped it on the floor for a couple of times and it was never damaged. So far I'm very satisfied with this card.
