I can confirm this card works with the Muvo 2. I just got mine in today, installed it into the Muvo, and everything works great!

Got a 256mb and a 512mb and plan to stick them both in a muvo2 each. Will I be ok with firmware 1.11.01 that comes default on the players? or should I downgrade to 1.10.01?

I ordered a couple of weeks ago. For $93 with 2nd day shipping. I could have waited, but couldn't wait to play with new camera.

Now I'm waiting for Muvo2 4gb to arrive.

OMG don't ever post again, aceO07. Your # of posts is simply 1337! HAHA

 

[udonoogen]

snipped from one of the amazon reviews:

According to dpreview.com, this card only shows a 14x read (2,085 KB/s) and a measly 6x write (855 KB/s)!

Bad for cameras...ok for muvo2 player

 

[Wolverine27]

I'm in for one. Thanks OP.

It's nice, isn't it? Having that much space! I love it, especially taking pictures of my little girl. I can take about 275 pics at FULL res 2400x???? (or something like)... Any way, great find!

Negative ghost rider... Works GREAT with my Camera (Canon A80).

it's not a question of whether or not it works, but how fast the card is. sandisk sells one of the slowest cards in the market, but they also have the ultra cards that are quicker, but at a cost. if you haven't tried a faster rated card, then you should, you'll be amazed at the difference.

I just picked up a 512mb and one of THESE

Now I just need to come up with a really cool project for a solid state HD and an all in one MicroATX motherboard that was free after rebate.

Believe me you do NOT want to use this CF card for your main system drive. 2MB/s read time is a huge performance decrease from even the slowest of 2.5" hard drives. Get a quiet 2.5" drive and buy or make an enclosure for it if it's too loud for you. Or if you're really feeling like a big man: click here

 

[STotaro]

it would seem to me that you could just load the whole os into ramdrive and only use the flash for bootup

i just got one of these for my A75 also. u guys say this is gonna be too slow for cameras?! i hope not

Works great in my A60

 

[STotaro]

depends on usage. if you just take pics then its perfect, if you need to take many rapidly then speed may be and issue.
