card error 
Worked fine for a well then got card error and refused to work. Viking honored its warranty and exchanged it (ergo, the 2 stars), but the same thing happened to the second card.
So far, not good 
I write this with limited information but I am concerned about this product. Have a new Canon S400 with 128 Viking CF card. Tried to download pictures to computer and got an error on pic 12 (of 24). Was able to skip this one and download others - one at a time. This could be a drag if you have many shots. Perhaps there is another explanation and it is not the fault of the CF card but other comsumer comments give me pause.
Do NOT buy Viking CompactFlash "-P" memory cards
Do NOT buy Viking CompactFlash "-P" memory cards! They are more expensive and are the same exact product as their non-P memory cards. See below for an actual transcript of my question to Viking's online support center.

What is the difference between the CompactFlash memory products CF128M and CF128M-P? What technical advantage does the CF128M-P card have over the CF128M? Thanks.

Thank you for using Viking online support. There is no difference between the CF128M & the CF128M-P. They are the same flash cards. The difference is how they are marketed/sold.
Do not get ripped off!!! I've asked them this question once before and got the same response from a different customer service representative.
Good ad cheap 
Having read some bad reviews about the 256MB Viking I decided to get this one for my Canon S400. It holds 60 frames at the highest resolution. The transfers are pretty fast compared to an older older 64MB CF also by Viking. I have not experienced any problems. I bought it along side my camera and almost got it for free with the memory rebate.
holy memory batman!
very fast image transfers with flawless images. on my canon powershot A70 (3.2 megapixels), i got the following capacities with my card:
L (1600x1200) - 137 shots
M1 (1280x960) - 219 shots
M2 (1024x768) - 379 shots
S (640x480) - 788 shots
this along with my old 64MB compactflash card is going to be more than enough for vacation pictures.
