Digital camera reviews of Crucial 8Gb Lexar Media Professional Udma 300X Compactflash Cf8Gb-300-380
Digital camera Review: Fast + Lifetime Warranty
Summary: 5 Stars
I've written/read at 39 MB/sec consistently, using an Addonics SATA-to-CF reader. The transfer rate is being limited by the Addonics device and not the Lexar CF card, I believe. Now part of Crucial/Micron, I'd expect Lexar to continue designing & manufacturing stellar, reliable memory devices.
I don't have a UDMA camera, so I cannot comment on how it may speed up image capture, but I expect it would be fantastic for sports and wildlife photographers. I intend to use the card as a SSD to speed up HD video rendering.
Digital camera Review: Fast and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
This Lexar CF card is very reliable and fast read/write. I love it. I will buy another one very soon.Digital camera Review: Great Match for Canon 40D
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this CF Card as an interim memory card for the Canon 40D camera [new fast digital camera] planning to use it until a bigger faster one could be located. The camera can take 6.5 pictures per second at 10+megs per picture. Turns out even at full image size this card kept up with the camera great. No problems at all. In fact after some significant research it turns out this card is about twice as fast as most of the 16GB cards currently available, and just as fast as the fastest 8GB cards. This memory card is a great match for the Canon 40D camera.Digital camera Review: Just What I Needed

Lexar Professional UDMA - Flash memory card - 8 GB - 300x - CompactFlash
I use a a Canon 5D and love Lexar cards. From the first digital camera I had many years ago, I always got better response from the Lexar one as compared with other brands. First it was 4X, then, 8X then 16X, then 40X, then 80X, then 133X, now 300X. My cameras went from 3.3 MP then several 8 MP, now 12.8 MP so there was a need for faster and larger cards. Well Lexar has kept up. I now have 5 of the 8GB 300X. I still use the 8 GB 133X as well as some 40 and 80X cards. The difference I notice is down loading my images to my computer, the 300X is way faster with a proper card reader. Even with the express card reader on my laptop in the field the 300X card downloads the 8 GB faster. Also when shooting a burst of pictures, whether its getting the right image at sporting events or a bird in flight, with either my Canon 20D or now the Canon 5D, I never have to wait for the files to write to the cards.
I like the peace of mind that comes from the quality of Lexar products. I spend a lot of time, effort, and money getting the images and the thought of loosing them due to card problems is unimaginable. I also no doubt will be getting the Canon 1DS Mark IIII in the near future, and like the idea than the cards I am now using will be fast enough to keep up with the 21 MP camera. So no regrets.
Well off to Alaska with my Lexar cards,
