Digital camera reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: Nice Price for a large card
Summary: 5 Stars
At the time of this purchase (12/30/07), this was a good price for this size card. I know, I know.....a 512mb card used to cost this much. What can I say...I use this card in my Canon 1d Mark lll and it performs flawlessly. I have also used Sandisk Extreme IV cards but cannot really tell the difference, probably because of my not-up-to-date computer. Nice large card.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: SanDisk Extreme III 8 Gig memory card
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this 8 gig card on Aamazon for 99.00 and best previous price I had seen was 219.00 locally. Purchased it and received it as new retail item. Works great - lots of storage. Just what I was looking for.Digital camera Review: Awesome Speed and Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
This compact flash card takes wicked fast pictures, and has more storage capacity than I could ever use in one photographic session. My Canon Digital Rebel, the old 6.3 megapixal version, can not even report its total capacity in picture space available, it only continues to show 999 shots left, no matter how many shots I take!! This CF card is awesome!Digital camera Review: Extreme III 8 gig card
Summary: 5 Stars
Hmmmm. What can I say about a CF card. I bought this because I'm a compulsive clicker with my Canon 40D, and my old 4gb card was filling up too fast on some of my outings. This 8gb card gives me 616 shots shooting at ISO 100. So far, I have never filled it up before I have a chance to download. I was definitely going to purchase an 8gb card, so when Amazon ran this one on sale, I got it.
