5 Stars fast and reliable…great CF card!
I just got back from Kenya where I was shooting photos for my work and also took a lot of personal photos while on a safari. This card was great! I didn’t have any problems and never had to wait for the card to catch up to me. I took nearly 800 photos in RAW without having to fumble around swapping cards while bouncing along in the Maasai Mara. I highly recommend this card.

1 Star Extremely bad customer service
I had one of these cards burn up while downloading pictures. So I lost about 350 images.

But getting the card replaced turned into a LOT of messages back and forth from the “Customer Service” department. They just keep sending stock “Trouble shooting” tips instead of reading my messages or issuing and RMA. They don’t seem to have any intention of replacing the card. And at this point, I’m just going to post the card on the wall of our rental studio with a printout of all the messages from the “support team”

Maybe the 300+ people who use the studio will get the message, never buy Sandisk again.

I own quite a few 4-16GB CF and SD cards. I’m putting them on eBay before I lose more data.

5 Stars AWESOME FAST CARD!!
I have a Canon EOS 1D MARK II that will shoot 8.5 frames per second that i bought this card for. I do a lot of shooting at air shows, such as the U.S.A.F. THUNDERBIRDS, and the U.S. NAVY BLUE ANGELS. In the past I have used various cards including the Extreme II, and ALL of them failed me and were not able to keep up with me and the jets that i was photographing. Many times in the middle of a burst the camera would stop and I would have to wait several seconds for it to finish writing to the card…..which if you have ever shot an air show you know that even ONE second at an air show is an eternity to wait….by the time you blink it is too late you missed the shot!

This card kept up 99.9% of the time. There were only two times that it paused on me at a recent air show, and fortunately that was at the end of a burst. This card is blazing fast and I love it!!!

I am considering upgrading to the 1D Mark III…if I do then I will invest in the Exteme IV, but for not the Extreme III is one AWESOME card. I have two now, and will probably buy another when they come down in price.

If you are considering this card….then BUY IT! You won’t be disappointed!!!

5 Stars Fast Media card
I bought this for my wife’s Nikon D70 Camera. Sandisk has always provided us with excellent service. It was bought as an upgrade and it definately is fast

5 Stars Speed does matter
I have other Sandisk CF cards that have a lower writing speed but as I progress is learning more about photography, the research indicate that faster writing speeds were better for shots that involved wildlife and nature. I purchased what I could afford at this time and was amazed at how much faster this Extreme III card was over my other cards. It worked perfectly and we took over 500 shots in RAW format during a trip to Chicago recently. Great product.

5 Stars Working as intended
I’ve had no problems with the CF card since I’ve purchased it. SanDisk is reliable company.

If you ever do have problems with a CF card, just try reformatting it as that often fixes the problems.

5 Stars Great Card
While I have had many compact flash cards of varying sizes this card for the size and price was a much better bargain then those of the others. A lot of storage with a little price. Never had an fault or error and don’t think I ever will.

4 Stars good product
this is a good, reliable product. The only disappointment is that I expected to get more photos onto the card. It seems like a lot of space is used up on applications and is not available for pictures.

5 Stars Great product so far
Since I received it, I have had no problems with it. Image quality is wonderful. Uploading to my computer, I have had no problems. It is more memory than I actually need, but you never know when I might need it for those special times.

5 Stars San Disk
Great cards. Super fast and reliable. San Disk cards are the only ones I use. I am very happy with my purchase.

5 Stars Fast, reliable card
I used to have 3 2GB card and shooting concerts always ran out of space and would have to switch cards. In addition my buffer would get full and I would have to wait for the camera to write the images to the card. With this card I have never run out of space yet, and the write speed is fast so I don’t have to miss shots due to full buffer. Given the price of these is getting cheaper by the day I would definitely recommend this card. Oh and as bonus it comes with a little card wallet. If nothing else you can use it to keep spare change

5 Stars Great CF Card
This card works great with my digital camera and allows me to take almost an endless amount of pics. Highly recommend.

4 Stars Had some problems, but overall very pleased…
Bought the 8gb Extreme III before going to a friend’s wedding, as I had also just picked up a Canon 40D and wanted to give the camera’s burst shooting a workout. All of the shots were captured quickly, I never had to wait for the camera/memory to “catch up” so I was generally pleased – until I got home…

Apparently it’s not such a good idea to mess with the file structure outside of your camera. I popped the card into my computer’s card reader and started to delete some blurry and duplicate shots I just didn’t need. I then popped the card back into the camera to take some shots around my house and the camera read “card not formatted”. At that point, I decided to pop the card back into the computer to see what the deal was. I almost had a heart-attack when I saw an empty folder where there had once been about 1300 JPG files. Luckily the story has a good ending… I used the RescuePRO software that came with the card and it found the files (even files that I had deleted manually from my camera during the wedding).

I would strongly recommend that you format your card upon first use and each time you swap between computer and camera (obviously, save the files to your computer before your re-format). After the RescuePRO memory recovery (took about 2 hours) and a fresh re-format, the card seems to work fine. I hope my incident helps current and new E-III buyers.

4 Stars Its huge and fast, although not so impressively fast
I used this to take pictures of a wedding, the space was great and completely neccesary and the speed is great too. I never had to think about the card because it was doing its work so well. I used it on a rebel xti and the speed of the camera improved (of course) over a Ultra II San Disc card. After I used it on a 40D and worked like a charm. The thing is, although it is noticeably faster, Im not completely impressed with it. When I transfered the files to the computer I used a USB II port and the speed was around 10MB/sec not 30. Maybe Im wrong in some interpretation here… I dont know. Thats not so important, the important thing is that the card never limits one to take pictures becouse it cant save fast enough.

Bottom line, its great, it does it work well and as far as I know I recommend it.

5 Stars Great capacity
I recently purchased a Nikon D200 digital SLR camera and armed it with the SanDisk 8GB Cf card. It will hold approximately 1400 photos in full raw data mode and thousands in jpeg. This the only csrd I’ll ever have to buy for this camera.
