I would think so but I only use SanDisk or Panasonic for my equipment so I have no idea about Transcend.
I just got some 1 gig Micro SD cards that where off-brand for my department [we don't care just get the cheapest thing you can find kind of thing] and they were $10 each so I think $12 for 8 gigs is low.
It could be righteous however.

The danger with off brand memory cards is that they may die after a few times. There are reports of users buying cheap off-brand cards (for other cameras) and seeing the cards die after a few times.
IF you copy files to the card, do a file check, erase, and try this 12 times without a problem, it MAY be safe to use. As I said before, most cheap cards fail right away...
I would NOT risk shooting a wedding with a cheap card.

Alright. Not going to chance this then thanks.
Transcend is a good brand, but it is still too good to be true: the amazon sub-vendor gouges you pretty bad on the shipping. They aren't very forthcoming about it either, it only appears late in the order process. I canceled.
