 Good size, fast speed. December 9, 2006

I think the key thing to consider with memory cards is their durability and their speed and it's just then a matter of deciding on size.
The Sandisk has both these qualities in copious amounts!
A 2gb card is hardly classed as large these days but it gives me something in the region of 200 RAW shots on a Canon 400D which is pretty good. Switch to highest quality Jpeg and you're talking about 500+ shots. Have you honestly taken more than 500 shots in one shoot? Me neither. And if you're taking shots on a sub 10 mega pixel camera you'll fit even more on the card! Still - I would love an 8gb card!
Speed is excellent; the extreme III cards are rated at 20mb/sec write speed. Dumping a full buffer from the 400D onto the card takes around 12 seconds - impressive stuff.
The card comes with a disk of image recovery software should your card ever fail and a little pouch that can hold 2 cards - very handy!
Great card!

Simply put, this is the best card I've ever used. I have four of these and have used them in the past in a Canon 20D, now I use them in a 30D and 5D and the speed is exceptional.
In the 30D the write speed is amazing, depending on the conditions I can shoot up to the full 30 jpeg frames in one burst until the buffer is full, the speed at which the camera's buffer memory dumps the images to the card is phenomenal. Usually within a couple of seconds the buffer has dumped the jpeg images to the card and is ready to shoot again.
There are faster cards out there, and I've used different brands in the past but for me Sandisk's reliability is the clincher. In the last 3 years I've been using exclusively Sandisk cards I've never had any problems.
I shoot mostly motorsports, action and nature photography where the reliability of your gear can make or break a shot, and in my opinion Sandisk cards are the best there is and I wouldn't use anything else.
Excellent Piece of equipment August 10, 2005

I purchased this with my new eos 350D. The write speed is phenomenal, I estimate 7mb a sec, due to the speed of the write on the CF card, and the buffer being flushed so quickly to card, I can take upto 20+ consecutive shots, I only tried 20, I'm sure i could surpass that, if I continued. I thoroughly reccommend this card more so than anyother, just alone on it performance and reliability, I have not lost one shot and i've taken thousands by now. It is slightly dear, but if like me you use it on safari's etc, then there is no denying this is the only card to get, I reccommend 2* 2gb CF cards, as the 4gb Card is slightly slower in read/write obviously due to the higher capacity.
Great little memory card January 17, 2007

I've purchased three of these cards up until now for my Canon EOS 400D camera and they have been superb. There is a noticeable difference in write speed with this model against the average generic CF cards, and so far they have been perfectly reliable. Definitely recommended.
Great card, and don't even think about eBay February 13, 2007

This is an excellent card, and I have nothing to add to the praise from other reviewers for its speed and reliability.
Unfortunately, since Amazon stopped shipping electronics to Ireland, I had to look elsewhere for a second. And boy, is it expensive in the specialist camera shops. In desperation, I turned to eBay. But it turns out that around 95% of the cards on offer there are fakes. I have had two. They both failed, taking photos with them, before I realised what the problem was.
So no more of that. I will get Amazon to send mine to a friend and pick it up next time I am in the UK.
