Digital camera reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)

Digital camera Review: Fast and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars

Ive owned various sizes of this card, and for years, Ive never had a single problem with them. They are fast, reliable, and work perfectly in My Nikon D700.

This is one of the best cards, if not the best card out there right now.

Digital camera Review: Fast and reliable - exactly what you want from Extreme III
Summary: 5 Stars

Having used a smaller capacity Extreme II, I was already biased toward SanDisk CF cards. I have used other off brand cards, and have always regretted the purchase.

The Extreme III did not let me down when used inside a Canon 1d Mark II and 1d Mark IIn. Fast writes and fast downloads.

Well worth the money.

Digital camera Review: Fast with lots of space
Summary: 5 Stars

I used two of these cards on a month long trip this past summer when I wouldn't have access to a computer to download photos from my digital SLR. Even when the discs became 90% full, there was no detectable reduction in write time. The read time did slow down, but I would imagine that is normal when there's that many files on a card. These also work great for digital photo frames, you could essentially pack one full of pictures and not see the same image twice over a very long period of time.

The only drawback to a card with this much storage is "putting all your eggs in one basket". It's got so much room, that in the unfortunate event you've got over 2,000 high quality JPEG photos on it (which it's well capable of) and something goes wrong for whatever reason, you've just lost all those photos.

A warning - there's been a rash of fake copies of these cards going around lately, but the ones sold through Amazon are the genuine products. The fakes don't work well at all and are prone to failure.

Digital camera Review: Fast, reliable card
Summary: 5 Stars

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 :)

Digital camera Review: Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars

I had never purchased any items from here before and other people had good experiences. The cards I've seen retail for much. much more in the stores. So far I'm very pleased with the cards performance. The product shipped quickly and arrived in the time they said it would. I would buy from them again just based on that!
