I have 3 of these Transcend 32GB 400x CF cards and I am very happy with them. I am using them in Canon 1D Mk4, Canon 1D Mk2N, and Canon 7D cameras. All three of these cameras work very well with the 400x Transcend cards. These cards are fast enough to keep up with high frame rates of professional DLSRs and offer a large amount of storage for the newer (high megapixel) cameras that produce very large image files. I always shoot RAW, so in addition to reliability, the speed and capacity are very important to me in handling the larger file sizes. I am planning to purchase additional cards before a coming trip when I will be away for about 2 weeks and will need additional storage space. I have over 200 GB of memory cards but not all are as as fast as these.
I do not use video very much and have not tested these cards beyond shooting short video clips. But the cards work fine for that and I understand that they are fast enough to handle shooting longer continuous video.
If you are using a camera that is more than 3 or 4 years old, check to make sure that your particular camera model is capable of taking advantage of the high speed offered in these memory cards. Some older cameras cannot take advantage of newer, high speed cards due to limitations in the camera architecture. This is the case with my 9 year old Canon 10d.
Currently I am only using 2 brands of memory cards, and Transcend is one of them. Transcend cards are a far better value than the other brand I use, and I find them to be every bit as reliable. I can buy 2 of these cards for less than the price of 1 card in the other brand. Transcend also offers a very good warranty on these cards.
The only general word of caution I would offer in using ANY large capacity memory card, is you will be storing a large number of images on a single card. Normally this is great but if a card ever does fail, you may possibly lose a lot of images. This goes back to the caution of not putting all your eggs in one basket. But also note that a 32 GB card in a 16 megapixel camera will not hold many more images than an 8 GB card in a 8-megapixel camera. File sizes increase exponentially as megapixels increase.

Great memory option
Transcend really hit it out of the park with their 400x 32gb CF cards. I've never had any corruption issues or slow downs when using these cards.
