Digital camera reviews of Sandisk SDSDX3-008G-A31 8GB Extreme III SD Card
Digital camera Review: A fast card make a difference for the right camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I posted my inital review for the right product under a different supplier. My bad sorry, but I did purcase this card as you can see with the verified purchaser tag.
I have an Nikon D90. I purchased the 8G San Disc Extreme III card 30MB/S and a Transcend 16G class 6 card at the same time. The San Disc Extreme 3 card is incredibly fast. I get 100 pictures (4.5 frames per second) at fine resolution before the camera stops to buffer in 24 seconds. The Transcend card gets 17 photos on the same settings then pauses to buffer. If you have the camera that can take full advantage of this write speed this fast card is worth the investment. No more cringing while I wait for my camera to clear its buffer so I can take more pictures.
I like to shoot at 4.5 frames. It gives me a lot to pick through when I edit, but a lot can happen in a fraction of a second that can make a photo good or bad. Having the capability to hold down the shutter release and rattle off large bursts of photos is important to me.
I have found that 8G is a good size for SLR Photography. In my opinion bigger cards are putting a lot of eggs in one basket.
I posted a video test demonstrating this products incredible write speed. You can find it by clicking on my name and searching for this product. I'd repost it here but I deleted from my computer.
I have been using the card for several months. I have about 10 different cards that I use and I can honestly say that this is my favorite. In addition to writing fast it emptys a lot faster which comes in handy when I'm in a hurry to leave the house with my fastest card and it's full of pictures. I have not had any write/read errors. I'd get another one, but I know the price on this model will continue to fall.
