I bought this SD card in July for my new Sony NEX-5 camera. On the positive side, the card is very cheap, has a huge capacity that will last you for any extended trips and transfer speeds to my PC seem to be on par with a Sandisk Extreme class 10, I purchased subsequently.
On the negative side, I lost about 1,400 pictures from my recent trip to Punta Cana. I was recording a video on the way back and just when i pressed stop, a message comes up saying “Recording” and in that instant the battery died. So when we got home and I put the SD card in the PC, I got a message that the drive is corrupt and I couldn’t access any of the pictures. I was fuming, needless to say. So, I thought that maybe the fact that the battery died while I was recording that last video clip caused the card to fail. So, I formatted the card and decided not to shoot any video with low battery going forward. The next week, there was an official visit from my country’s prime minister. So, my wife and I went to the event. I video recorded his whole speech, and was I able to get a picture taken of my wife and I with the prime minister. We were so excited, it’s a once in a life-time opportunity, to have you picture taken next to the prime-minister. So, we go home all excited, put the SD card in the PC and guess what, “Reading error, file system corrupt” or something of that sort. We were so frustrated…I literally wanted to take a hammer and smash that card into a million pieces.
I would also not recommend this card if you are using it for 1080 video. My camera records at 17Mbps. When I first got the card, I took it to a concert and recorded many video clips. Many of the videos had the first 1-2 seconds jerky, with distorted sound sometimes, as if the card cannot get up to speed quick enough to meet the demands of the recording speeds.
I now have the 32GB Sandisk Extreme Class 10 and videos are recording without any choppiness. I am very happy with it. It’s expensive but you get what you pay for.

Bike Handlebar Holder Mount

I am not a runner. When I am outdoors I am usually hiking or walking. When I do run, it is usually on a treadmill. I was looking for something that would help me stay in my target heart rate no matter what activity I was doing. But this item is built for runners/bikers. There isn’t even an option to walk. And it won’t track calories indoors.

I am returning the item for these reasons. I will go back to polar.
