Questions & Answers

IVAN T : Has anyone tried this card in a Nikon D800e?
TIM M : Can the latest SanDisk 256GB ExtremePRO CompactFlash Card - up to 160MB/sec Transfer Speed, RTL AM (VPG-65) be used on the Canon 5D Mark II & Mark III? I understand it is directed for the 4K Pro cameras such as the EOS 1D C... but was wondering about my other platforms... ThanksTony N : Yes. I have been using it with my Canon 5D Mark IV, shooting exclusively RAW, holding 5444 images. It also keeps up speed-wise, shooting 30 continuous frames at 1/100, 25 continuous frames at 1/500 at the camera's max of 7 fps, before slowing to about 1 fps, which it will sustain indefinitely in P or M.HSIN-CHENG Y : Yes, I'm using it for my Canon 5D Mark III. It can hold over 999 photos at maximum resolution settings. I have taken my 5D Mk 3 along with this memory card to Hawaii for a week. After some 100 photos, the status display is still at 999 photos remaining. It is very fast as well. I was able to take a series of bird photos in sports mode without any lag.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DAVID E : Used it previously a number of times.EDDIE T : Sandisk is a top of the line dependable brand. I have a Canon 5D Mk 4 and it needs at least 256 mb to shoot a 30 min. video. Otherwise, it shoots 8 min. videos and they have to be stitched together. Also, on sale ! Primarily, I shoot "stills."JAYN K : Its getting harder/more expensive to find large storage for this size cardCONNOR M : Never thought I'd be buying one of these in 2023 but I acquired a c-cam c300 for a great price and this is what it usesMICHAEL P : I chose this product because of the continued excellent quality of SanDisk products. They are reliable, well-made, and consistent. I have been using SanDisk for almost 20 years.MICHAEL P : Reputation and past experience with SanDisk.ALEXANDRIA V : Needed a bigger oneDAVID H : to use in my Canon 5D M4. Compact Flash card is much fast than the SD cardDALE F : My 5D mk4 uses both CF and SD cards. While i have a couple of CF cards already, they are nearly full and I have been using the SD cards mostly. This is the largest capacity card i have ever purchased and the price was the lowest I have seen. For recording video, this is the more reliable choice.KEN W : Planning on a big vacation in the future and being able to have plenty of free space on my CF card will be extremely helpful.UWE H : To work with Canon 5DsRJAMES H : I need a CF card for my Canon R5.ROBERT E : Speed and availability on my camera for 2 cardsMICHAEL M : For a Canon 5D Mark IVMICHAEL M : To overcome the 4 GB file limit on the Canon 5D Mark IV.DANIELA L : speed -reliable-always have used Sandisk pro with no problemsAlina A : 7866619881MICHAEL P : Camera can use CF or SD cards. CF is the fasterMARIA T : need it for videoJOHN B : I purchased these cards because of my need to shoot full 4K on several Canon 5D Mark IV cameras. SanDisk is the ONLY card I trust!Charles B : To use with my Canon 5D Mark IV and 5DSR cameras.MICHAEL W : Have been using these units for some time. Doing a photo gig that will require rapid photos, about 25K to 30k of them in 2 days. Need the large memory

Pricey but worth it

If your camera uses CF cards and you need to record video, look no further. People also report great results with Lexar Professional 1066x cards but I chose this one. There's cheaper options out there but some of them tend to be less reliable and the price difference doesn't seem worth the potential loss of data.

Highly recommended!

I’ve used Sandisk Extreme Pro for years and love them. The only time I’ve ever had one fail is when my camera went for a swim. Even then the Sandisk Extreme Pro SD survived and I didn’t lose any images. I highly recommend these cards!

Awesome Speed

By STEVE P.

Used in a Canon 5D Mark iii. Glad I upgraded to this as I'm not getting full FPS. Also really fast in transferring the pictures off the card to the computer.

Awesome transfer speed

By CARLOS T.
