Digital camera reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)
Digital camera Review: AWESOME FAST CARD!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!!
