Digital camera reviews of SanDisk 1 GB Extreme III SD Card ( SDSDX3-1024-901, Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Fast and dependable
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this SD card in my most recent Canon A630 camera purchase and the difference compared to my previous card is dramatic. My new camera is 8 MP and the pictures transfer much faster to my PC than the A80 (4 MP) with the older card. Images pop up in the viewer quickly and on the whole the performance is excellent.Digital camera Review: Fast and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
You'll never notice the speed difference with this card until you have to switch it out with a slower one. The difference is like going back to dial-up after being on broadband.
I REALLY like this little jewel!
Digital camera Review: Fast and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
I running Mac OS 10.4.7 with a Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP camera. The Scan Disk has performed perfectly. The upload speed is impressive, I recommend this memory card without hesitation.Digital camera Review: Fast, tiny, reliable memory
Summary: 5 Stars
I have heard that 32x SD memory performs pretty much as well as the the SanDisk Extreme III cards do.That being the case, you can save about $10-$15 per gigabyte card by purchasing the cheaper 32x offerings.
Then again, SD memory is just becoming the top choice among manufacturers, and even though CF cards are cheap, fast, and durable, they are losing ground to the SD format at a rapid rate. If you have a camera that requires an SD card, get this one. SD will be around for a long time to come, and this card is a generation ahead of all others in terms of speed, and is built to near bullet proof standards. Even if your current camera seems happy with a 32x card, the Extreme III card is four times as fast for just a few more Dollars, and will still be ready to serve when you buy your next generation of digicam. I have two one gig Extreme III cards for my Canon S2 IS digicam, and they have been flawless to date. It is a real treat to know that my digital media can read and write at twice the speed of my current camera, as the SanDisk cards will still be leading edge when I replace the the Canon S2 sometime in the future.
I intend to buy more Extreme III 1 gig cards as time goes by. One gig in still mode is plenty for a two week vacation worth of still shots, but the awesome movie mode on the S2 calls for more memory, and the SanDisk Extreme III delivers the goods in a big way.
One last note. The CF card is the most mature of the lot, even though it is being abandoned by the industry due to it's larger size. Still, it is pretty small overall, and several will fit in your wallet. You can buy an ultra high speed CF card of one to four gig capacity for a song lately. As they get cheaper, buy them. Any cheap $14 card reader will let you use them as storage on your PC or Mac, and they offer great bang for the buck.
If you have a device that requires an SD card though, buy the best on the market. The SanDisk Extreme III is the best you can buy today. Nothing else even comes close.
Digital camera Review: For 6 months worked fine. No my laptop cannot read it.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this card for $ 92 6 months ago. Everything seemed to be fine until today when I tried to read stored pictures and PDF files using my Kingston TraveLite reader. My DELL Latitude D800 laptop with Windows XP didn't recognize it. I cannot say it is a problem with the laptop nor the reader since other SD card, including Sandisk Ultra II 2GB work very well. I tried to format it in a linux machine but nothing seems to work. The only device able to format/read/write the card is my Canon S3 IS camera. Is a shame I cannot read the pictures from the memory directly. Now I have to connect my camera to my laptop to be able to read the pictures.
