Top Rated Gear: Lexar 8GB, 133x Professional High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card Card Series: Lexar Pro, Package Count: Single Pack

Using this product in a Canon Rebel XTi. Love the huge capacity especially since I am now shooting in RAW+JPEG. The speed saving each image is amazing and downloads are also faster than any other card I have.

Wish I had purchased product a year ago

I use Lexar Professional memory cards in two of my cameras and have been totally satisfied with the product.

First class product.

Performs better than advertised

This is a great card! Fast and BIG. Love that I can shoot in RAW and JPEG together and never have to worry about running out of space! Love Lexar products and have never had problem with any of them. And you cant beat the price! :) I have already told friends about the card and sold one to my sister.

Bought 3!

Great price from Adorama with the rebate [...]  I tested this card against my 300X UMDC and Sandisk Ducarti 4G cards and found only minor performance differences between these high speed cards and the 133X with D300 high speed burst mode.  133X sustains about 5-6 fps for about 50 frames (~8-9 seconds) and the 300x/Ducarti sustain about 6 fps for about 52-55 frames (~9-10 seconds).  The price different really cannot justify the slice performance improvement.  With my Sandisk pro USB2.0 reader, I don't see much transfer speed different either, perhaps the bottle neck is my card reader.

Great price from Adorama with the rebate

I use this Lexar card in my D300. In camera write is fast and reliable. Download speeds using a Lexar firewire card reader to my iMac again are fast an reliable. For this size card, I'm not sure faster cards are necessary. Great value.

Great Card, Great Value

This is a reliable compact flash card with medium speed.  If you are shooting sports and need a quicker CF card, try their quicker version

Great compact flash card

I use this card with a Canon 40D.   I find the size is perfect for my shoots.  This card is fast enough to keep up with my 6.5fps for as long as I need it.  Great card, better value with the rebate.

Great card

Shoot all day with 8 GB with fast downloads!

Excellent for fast transfer

Everything you would expect from a Lexar Pro card.
Fast and reliable.

Very Good Card

Can't beat the quality, speed, and great price to match!

Great product for my D200!

The workflow of a shoot often requires getting photos off the camera quickly making a smaller capacity chip practicle but you never want to be caught with out of space when that great shot presents itself therefore this larger capacity chip is very acceptable in our operation.

Bigger is always Better

Cards work well and are fast. I bought 3 8GB cards, enough for a trip.

Good Deal!!

I use this with my 40D. Compared ot other cards such as the Sandisk Extreme III 30mps and the Lexar 300x, this card seems a little slow. However, unless you are looking for long bursts in raw (for me longer than 3 seconds), you won't notice the slower write speed.

Not the fastest but works great

I've recently received a card that I got through a promotion.  This is the first time I've used Lexar's products and I am very impressed with my new card.

Excellent Product

These 133x cards from Lexar work great in my D700.  They are clearly not as fast as the 300x udma cards, but it does take a little while to fill the buffer.  Highly recommended.

Great card.  Very good speed.

Very solid construction and very reliable.
8G is very good size for whole weekend shooting without the need to change card.
133x speed add to the value.

I recommand this CF card to everyone.

Fast card, good price

THis is a very good card. Fast enough for most photographers and applications. And with the recent rebates making it FREE, you cannot go wrong.
I have never had any problems with the lexar Cf cards,

Great CF card

I shoot club events, and this one works well. No complaints! SanDisk, and Lexar are solid performers. Lexar had a killer deal at the time, so I went with it.

Lexar is top quality

I recently bought the Canon 5D Mk2 and needed to upgrade my CF cards to handle the larger files.  The Lexar 8 GB cards represent a great value and and exhibit rock solid reliability.  I have used Lexar for years and never had a single failure.  And the card is even fast enough to use for video capture.

Plenty of space for my 5D Mk2 files.

The card is relatively fast and inexpensive. For the price, I haven't found anything faster.

Works great

Lexar 8gb CF Card -lots of headroom

I use this with a nikon d300, and it works just fine, I cannot tell the difference between this and other compact flash cards I use. the main reason I purchased this card was because of the free rebate, and I have no qualms using it

comparable to other Compact flash cards

slower than sandisk, and less reliable.  experienced a few file-corruption after appox 30 downloads. doesn't happen with sandisk.
It happens under heavy use, extreme temperature.  i don't think this will happen to everyone.  But if you are a pro shooter, it is not worth the small $ saving and get sued for lost images.

doesn't

I have purchased the 1st Lexar 8GB 133x CF Card years ago when it was on sale. I used that card the most in my past 3 years' photography and it never let me down. Well, actually most of the CF cards never got me in any trouble. But for the price, speed and quality you can get for this card, I think LEXAR is just awesome. I used it occassionaly for file transfer as well and it done a nice job too.

Great Flash Card that You Can Trust

I measured the performance of this CF, and it is as specified.

Works just as advertised

These are good value cards at present. Not overly fast, but I have 3 of them, and no problems at all (yet!).

Reliable Card

So far the card has been fast and reliable, just as good as my other cards. And in case that should ever change, Lexar offers a lifetime warranty on their professional series.

Fast, reliable, affordable

With the recent Lexar rebate for this product, there simply was no way I could not purchase. It's fast and spacious - 8gb? I've been using 4gb cards until this.

It is loads faster than my older CF cards - used primarily in my DLSR. Fast read, write, and transfer speeds. Critical when shooting in RAW.

Excellent Bang for your Buck

Approx 950 RAW files on a Canon XTi - what more could one want?  Plenty fast and quality is on par with Sandisk.
