High Speed Card, Immense Capacity

Strengths:

High performance in Digital SLRs that can take advantage of the speed. Immense capacity.

Weaknesses:

Price.

Posted Jun 1, 2007 - This is one of the highest speed cards that SanDisk makes, and the speed is evident in digital SLRs. 8 GBs is enough for just about anyone, even with the highest end camera. Make sure to keep a backup card, just in case. Significantly, these cards are finally starting to come down in price, which took awhile for these super-premium cards. They can still be pricey, but don't be afraid to wait for a price drop.

Really Fast CF Card!!

Strengths:

1. Super fast speed 2. Nice packaging 3. Lifetime warranty 4. Free photo software and recovering software

Weaknesses:

Expensive (than others)

Posted May 17, 2007 - I bought three CF cards nearly the same time. SanDisk Extreme III in my experiences, is a little faster (about the same) than Lexar Professional 133X 8G, and moderately faster than Kingston Ultimate 133X 4G cards. The one I bought is the 8G capacity, which is good for storing 500+ RAW images in my Canon 5D (12MP size). The storing speed is about the same as it stated on the box (133X is about 18-20MB). SanDisk is known for making quality CF cards and they keep their speedy promises. I recommend this card to people who are in need of high capacity CF. This is by far the best 8G card that I have and I will always come back for SanDisk products in the future.

8GB Extreme III CF card

Strengths:

Large storage size - very fast transfer

Weaknesses:

none

Posted May 15, 2007 - These are great cards. I shoot with a Canon 5D on Raw and get around 500 images on an 8GB card. Very pleased with download speed to my computer. I've used SanDisk cards for 4 years now and never lost an image.

Tons of space to shoot RAW!

Strengths:

Fast transfers, huge capacity for shooting RAW with my 20D.

Weaknesses:

Not as fast as my 2GB cards, but this really isn't an issue.

Posted May 14, 2007 - I bought this card so that I could go on longer trips with my DSLR and not have to shuffle between my other 2GB cards as much. I can shoot roughly 800 RAW shots with this card, which should be more than enough for a 2 week trip. I, actually, my camera manufacturer seems to prefer Sandisk cards, and other than the super fast and super expensive Extreme IV line of cards, nothing else provides the combination of speed, value, and dependability that Sandisk Extreme III provides. I know Sandisk will stand behind its products, and I can expect their customer service to honor the lifetime warranty.

Extreme III 8Gb

Strengths:

Capacity, speed

Weaknesses:

price, speed

Posted May 9, 2007 - Very good card, good speed. But considering it's price, bigger card, or one with higher speed can be bought. Good for heavy use. Would probably buy a third party with faster speed instead.
