It is Lexar, so it is good stuff, but too small for 5D2 pics, I went to autoshow, usded 14 out of 16GB. I want 32GB one! But they are pricey too

I have several of these memory cards. They write fast so that you can keep taking pictures without pausing. They deliver exactly as promised.

One of the fastest cards out there with 16 GB capacity. I use it in my D300. Watch for sales & specials and it's not terribly expensive.

You don't spring for this card if speed ... either buffer to card, or card to workflow isn't important to you. If it is, then the cost of this card is worth it. If not, buy something cheaper. The only caveat is I have no idea if this is not "the best" anymore w/r/t UHS-I / USB 3.0 readers and all that new jazz.

I needed a fast, dependable, reliable CF card for my Nikon D-300 to shoot fast,continuous shots of my 3-yr old grandson who is always in motion. I need to shoot at a fast shutter speed and end up with clear, sharp pictures. This is the perfect card. It will not let you down.I shoot in RAW and love the high storage capacity of this card.

For photography, no problems, but when I shoot videos (I have a D3s) the clips are sometimes corrupted or they just don't save on the card..

I bought this to replace my Sandisk Extreme III 16gb card for use in my d700. Upon first use; I put the card in and the estimated photo capacity is 605 (the sandisk 16gb was 620). I have not filled the card yet, but it appears that the same number or even slightly more photos may be possible with this card (estimates vary). I upgraded to this after having to wait for my buffer when eagles were flying past me, or a mountain goat stomping and charging. It is hard to tell but it does seem to write faster, however # of photos per burst before having to wait for the buffer has not increased greatly, from about 14 shots to 17 or 18. I believe the d700 may be a strong factor in these numbers, also I do wait less before the next burst. I was expecting more for changing from a claimed 30mbs to a minimum of 90mbs. My expectations may not be founded in reality. Transfer times do not appear to change, I have not tried the Lexar memory reader.

I shoot a lot of wildlife and I tested on birds on the wing! It is definitely faster than all others I've tested but honestly doesn't seem to be as fast as they claim on the card :-( Have used it about 40 times so far with no glitches whatsoever! NEVER had an issue with extreme weather and that is very critical for me!

Good write speed when using with Canon 7D. The buffer does fill up when using burst mode. But it doesn't take long for the camera to clear its buffer due to the performance of Lexar card.

Needed a faster card with more capacity to keep up with my D700 and so far it has functioned perfectly.

Writes incredibly fast. Never have to wait to take another shot with 7D at 8fps shooting football.

This Lexar CF card seems to have a noticeably faster write speed than the SanDisk 16gb Extreme IV CF in my Canon 1D Mark IV (I presum,e it will be faster in all cameras??). I didn't measure the write times for the cards, so I can't say how much faster it was (10-20% is my guess, based on shooting thousands of shots with each card at Airshows using the 10 fps High Speed drive mode). The downloading read speed for the Lexar and the SanDisk are both very sloooooow. I understand Lexar will have a new card reader soon that is supposed to speed the downloads.
