4 Star Review Very good card, fast and huge capacity

Strengths:

speed and huge capacity

Weaknesses:

none

Posted 1 year ago - the speed of the card is good enough for any DSLR, it is fast enough even to shoot videos. It is reliable, from Sandisk. The huge capacity is a big plus so you don't need computer for a long time.

5 Star Review SanDisk Extreme III 8.0GB CompactFlash

Strengths:

Fast read/write speed, data recovery software included, lifetime warranty.

Weaknesses:

None.

Posted 1 year ago - In addition to the large storage space and dependable SanDisk reliability, one specialty of this card that I particularly appreciate is it can withstand the most extreme environments and temperatures, from -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. This is important if shooting pictures in harsh environments, storing the card in extreme temperatures like in a car during winter and summer, or using the card in other devices that could generate a lot of heat. Another benefit I got with my version of the card is that SanDisk included a promotional free copy of the Capture One Raw workflow software from Phase One, which alone costs about $99!

5 Star Review SanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB Compact Flash Card

Strengths:

Big size and high speed

Weaknesses:

Not that I can tell.

Posted 1 year ago - Works great with my Olympus E-500. Use it next day after receiving it and it worked flawless with my E-500 and it can stock more than enough for one long trip. The only problem I had with it is first time use it took a while for E-500 to initialize it. Other than that, it is a perfect card, in term or current price and storage size.

5 Star Review SanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB Compact Flash Card

Strengths:

Memory size & speed

Weaknesses:

None I see

Posted Mar 23, 2007 - Works great. This card is noticeably faster than my 2GB Ultra II card used in the same camera. Memory size is great since I use it in a Canon EOS XTI using RAW+JPGG picture file format on trips.

5 Star Review Great memory, even better with rebate

Strengths:

Speed, capacity

Weaknesses:

none yet.

Posted 1 year ago - Got this with a $60 rebate, so there way no way to pass it up. Ranks near the top of speed tests with my camera (Canon 30D), and in use, it really does seem speedy. I usually shoot JPG and RAW together, and it will hold almost 700 shots w/my camera.

4 Star Review SanDisk Owns

Strengths:

Speed

Weaknesses:

none

Posted 1 year ago - My second 8gb compact flash card. It is a little bit slower than Ultra II. However, I'm happy with the purchase. I will keep supporting Sandisk compact flash. I wished the 12gb and 16gb worked on my canon.

5 Star Review sandisk extreme III 8 gb

Strengths:

In my minolta 7d I can run off 10 frames at 3 fps and within 2 sec run off 3 additional frames in RAW format. The data is processed at the limits of my camera's ability.

Weaknesses:

none

Posted 1 year ago - you get the optimal performance/$ ratio with this product. If your downloading time is critical, perhaps the IV series is justifiable, but you will have no performance gain in the camera.

Thank you for the valuable feedback!

5 Star Review Sandisk Extreme III 8GB CF card

Strengths:

Great speed with low cost

Weaknesses:

NA

Posted 1 year ago - I love Sandisk cards and started buying them over the higher priced Lexar cards. I was in need of a large card to start shooing RAW and this is a great card to do it with at 20mb sec read/write.

Thank you for the valuable feedback!

5 Star Review Great Performance

Strengths:

Very fast and huge capacity

Weaknesses:

None!

Posted 1 year ago - I'm using this card in my new Canon 40D DSLR. It's great for DSLR cameras given it's super fast write speed. Additionally, the 8GB size is good for recording large image files in the RAW format. San Disk is simply the best memory card out there!

Thank you for the valuable feedback!

Posted 1 year ago - I got this one with May 2007 rebate. It's work great with my canon XTi. Now, I can take with RAW file without worry about a full CF memory. If your Canon camera cannot see this CF, you have to format first, as I did. Good product from Sandisk.

5 Star Review SanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB Compact Flash Card

Strengths:

speed, reliability, life time warranty

Weaknesses:

none.

Posted 1 year ago - I have 6-7 Sandisk ultra II card (1-4GB). Just bought this 8GB Sandisk Extreme III a month ago when it had a $60 reabte. All Sandisk cards are very reliable. I never had a problem of losing images. The Extreme III is definitely faster in writing images in my Canon 5D than Ultra II. It takes ~ 20-25 seconds to write 10 RAW images (~150MB) compared to 30-35 seconds for ultra II. The package also came with Limited edition of Phase One software. Capture One is the best software to process RAW images in my opinion.

Thank you for the valuable feedback!
