 Great Card...shame about the postage! June 24, 2007

I recently purchased a Samsung GX10 DSLR which came with a rather lacklustre 1gig MMC card. At 17meg a pop shooting in raw (Adobe DNG), I soon realised that I would need a couple of spares. To be honest, I only noticed how slow the supplied card was when I started to use my old generic SD card, which was, to say the least, significantly faster. Having ploughed through endless magazine articles and user reviews, I finally decided to buy the Scandisk III Extreme. As I have just spent 600 on a camera it seemed a bit churlish to scrimp on memory.
The Scandisk III Extreme is an absolutely excellent card. It is super fast, comes with useful file recovery software, a travel case and a lifetime warranty. It really comes into its own in burst mode where there is now hardly any lag between the buffer filling and the files writing to the card. I can see why professional photographers would choose this brand over others. I even noticed a difference in my Lumix compact. In movie mode, it breezed through shooting and playback. Top marks to Scandisk for producing a fantastic memory card.
Naturally Amazon was my first port of call and at 16.99, I decided to buy two. Well, I'd only be wasting money on postage otherwise: Or so I thought.
Sadly, Amazon is not actually the vendor. When you try to purchase the item, you are redirected to `megamemory' or `jollyhappymem' and so on. At 9 postage - and this is in the UK - I'd be jolly happy too! I mean, seriously? I have just sent a 15kg parcel from Birmingham to Glasgow for 13.77. But wait, there is more. If you buy two, `jollyshamelessmem' just go ahead and double the postage!
So, whilst I can unreservedly recommend the Scandisk card, there is a caveat: shop around!
Excellent card - buy it from Play July 11, 2007

This card is 1 more expensive on play.com (16.99) but Amazon charge 5 delivery (despite the actual delivery cost only being about 50p) and Play.com are free. So the genuine price on Amazon is over 20.00.
The card works really well (I use it in a Nikon D40). It's a great card. Just don't let Amazon fool you on the real price.
Greatly lengthens hi res movie mode on Canon Ixus 900 Ti February 2, 2007

Canon says that the maximum length movie possible in hi res mode is three minutes. Using this card the maximum lenth of movie in hi res mode is just under eighteen minutes, i.e. the maximum recording length the card allows. At the end of this extended movie the camera is busy for what seems like less than a second. That's it.
With the 32mb card that comes with the camera, recording fifteen seconds of hi hres movie meant an awfully long wait while the camera was busy saving it.
Reviews of this card say things like you won't notice much difference in real terms from the extra speed of the card. After my experience i can say there is a massive positive difference in real world shooting and saving of high res movies. Roll on the day when canon release a camera with a high res widescreen mode, i.e. 1280x720 running at 24 / 25 frames a second. This card will probably be able to deal with the extra information and speed.
Even if you are only interested in photographs the speed difference between the supplied Canon card and the extreme 3 is phenomenal.
I cannot recommend this card more highly.
Excellent! November 23, 2006

I bought one of these to go with my Canon Ixus 900 Ti and it is blisteringly fast! The camera is able to save pictures nearly instaneously, and when used in continuous shot mode I'm able to get great shots of the kids.
Top card, shame it's not sold by Amazon June 30, 2007

I have to give this SD card 5 out of 5. The performance on a Canon IXUS 850 IS is very good compared to the freebie card you get with it. It's also faster reading/writing than the 1 GB 'standard' Sandisk SD card. If you're not in a hurry when taking/viewing your photos with your camera or if you have a really old (3 yrs+) digicam then I would say buy the cheapest make SD card. But if you have a newish or high performance digicam and you want top performance in terms of reading/writing speed then get this.
I buy most of my 'stuff' from Amazon but on this occasion I have to suggest you don't buy this card here because the postage is just silly money (as many people have already said.)
Buy it from play.com for the same price but free postage!
P.S. The only other option I was considering was a 4GB SDHC card as my camera does support them. And if you're looking for a great 'point n shoot' camera that's a cut above the rest read the reviews for the Canon IXUS 850 IS...and then buy it here - best price from Amazon and free delivery :)
