Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Extreme III 4 GB CompactFlash Memory Card SDCFX3-004G-A31
Digital camera Review: Extremely Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
Sandisk Compact flash has performed very well for me for about 4 years. This model is great, especially at today's prices.
The Extreme III product is fast enough to take RAW+JpegFine images on my Nikon D200 up to about 12-18 images non-stop. At five frames per second, I never miss the action. My key objective is great photography, not videography. Some people may be conflicted between a CAMERA and CAMCORDER usage.
Speed can be more of an issue during uploading onto my computer, where USB 2.0 is good, but I don't expect hard drive speed from Compact Flash. I simply take a break while uploading the images.
This product will allow high speed photography on a Nikon D200. Some cameras models don't have enough in-camera memory BUFFER storage to capture a long burst of images. I wouldn't blame the Extreme III compact flash speed for this shortcomming, but recommend an upgraded camera body instead.
Of course, I don't want or need 50 frames of "motion picture" sequences, yet this is possible with small jpeg ONLY image sizes. A 10 megapixel RAW image requires lots of storage.
Digital camera Review: Extremely fast
Summary: 5 Stars
Contrary to the rating given by the previous reviewer, having a camera that is incapable of keeping up with the speed of the card is not a basis for a mediocre rating on the card itself. I've got an EOS 20D and I find this card much faster than my 512 Mb Sandisk Ultra II card. I highly recommend the card for those with cameras that have a high speed buffer. It allows many more pictures in a burst than the manufacturers claim because they base their estimates on slower cards. This card is well worth the money if you shoot a lot of high speed activities like sports, racing, airshows, fast moving animals, etc.Digital camera Review: F-a-s-t card - great with my Oly E-500
Summary: 5 Stars
The Olympus E-500 is known for being able to write to CF cards very fast. This card - as advertised - is very fast. I chose this card specifically because of the camera's ability to write fast and my desire to use RAW format - which on this camera is about 13mb per picture. While I don't use it for sports or drive mode, it easily keeps up with multiple shots in a row. The 4gb capacity also helps with so many big files! It's the perfect card for this camera.Digital camera Review: False Sipping
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently purchased this and paid for one day shipping.This is what they claim to have,but two days later after complaining to the seller they e-mailed me stating that oops their mistake they only offer express
shipping which is a two day wait at best.This is false advertisement and
was told by them that they should disclose this information and could not
compensate my shipping charges.What a rip-off,Maybe to be truthful would give better customer results and return sales.I would never buy from them again!

Digital camera Review: Fast

Great product, really sped up my older Canon camera although the older Canon addressing scheme would only recognize 2 gigs of the disk. Not a fault of the product though. Should not be a problem when using in a newer generation camera.
