Fast, Reliable, Great size,

Posted Dec 3, 2007 - This is a great CF card. It is fast and reliable. It works well in my Canon 40D. I purchased this with a nice rebate so I couldn't pass this up. Comes with a pouch and restore software if anything ever goes wrong. Highly recommended.

sandisk extreme III 8 gb

Posted Nov 30, 2007 - 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.

Sandisk Extreme III 8GB CF card

Posted Nov 9, 2007 - 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.

Great Performance

Posted Oct 20, 2007 - 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!

Great memory, even better with rebate

Posted Jun 15, 2007 - 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.

SanDisk Owns

Posted Jun 15, 2007 - 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.

8GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card.

Posted Jun 4, 2007 - 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.

Very good card, fast and huge capacity

Posted Jun 4, 2007 - 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.

SanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB Compact Flash Card

Posted Jun 4, 2007 - 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.

SanDisk Extreme III 8.0GB CompactFlash

Posted Jun 3, 2007 - 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!

SanDisk Extreme III 8.0 GB Compact Flash Card

Posted Jun 2, 2007 - 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.

High Speed Card, Immense Capacity

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.
