I use nothing but Lexar Compactflash cards, because the quality and dependability speak for themselves. [...]

By Nikon guy from Seattle, WA on 3/20/2008

Lexar cards are great. Never a problem with any card even after years of use.

Very fast write speed and an ESSENTIAL PART of creating GORGEOUS photos.

By Doug from Ashburn, VA on 1/22/2008

Can you imagine having a compact "film" cartridge that would hold 900 sharp images (JPEG fine). I realize there are still places where film is important.......but they are becoming fewer and fewer!

By Tom the Photographer from Celebration, FL on 1/21/2008

As a Professional Photographer, I use only Lexar cards and this is the first 8Gb card purchased. Have several 4 and 2 Gb cards. Have yet to have any problems

I got this card when Lexar and [...] got together and offered a rebate and sale price at the same time for a net price of [$]. The card is great. It is fast and reliable. It has never messed up on me and is the only card I use in my camera eventhough I have dozens of other lower capacity cards. I only wish I had got a couple of them during the special introductory sale price.

By pastor robert from ewa, hawaii on 11/2/2007

just starting out in photography, shooting a canon 5d in raw. this card lets me experiment more shots in each session.

By Nikon Dude from Mpls,Mn on 9/27/2007

Never had a problem. What a price! My 1st 1GB card was a whopping $312.00, this seems like a steal!

By MrZeb from Staunton, VA on 9/26/2007

Works like a champ with my Nikon D2Xs.

Nikon D100 only sees a 4gb card.

By naplesfotoguy from Naples, FL on 9/26/2007

Thanks [...]for the great product at such an amazing price. I'll be back..........

By Gradatum from Littleton. CO on 7/31/2007

Speed enough for JPEG and RAW storage from a Canon Rebel XTi.

By Silver Star from Newport, NC on 7/12/2007

Excellent Product w/ Proven Reliability. With new pricing matrix this product became a must have for my Nikon D200.

By jedgar8585 from King George, VA on 7/11/2007

This product worked incredibly well and I would strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of purchasins a large format CF for their digital camera.

By Jeff from Bay Area, CA on 7/10/2007

I haven't had any problems, works great with my D200, now I just need to get a faster card reader to support it's speed!

By John D from Santa Fe, NM on 7/10/2007

Fast response and great storage.

By rebmamber from bonita springs, fl on 7/10/2007

It works great, reliable, I never have to worry when I'm using it.

By 4dniner from S.F. Bay Area on 7/10/2007

Already had the 4GB version. The 8GB is equally great. No problems with my D200 or D70.

By Alex from Lake Havasu City, Az on 7/10/2007

In this age of digital photography it is very easy to get wrapped up in shooting pictures. Gone is the time when you had to worry about having enough film, missing that "perfect" shot because you ran out of film. Not any more, thanks to this great memory card. I use a Canon 30D and can take 622 RAW + High JPEG pictures. That's a lot of pictures. And transferring them to the computer is fast. All in all this is a GREAT memory card and recommend it to all photographers, whether beginner or pro.

By Laura Anca from Boston, Ma on 7/10/2007

I liked the speed and the storage capacity.

By ApertureMagic from ShutterTown USA. on 7/10/2007

Fast and Reliable at a very competitive price.
Anything else need mention ?? No, I have not
tried dipping it in a swimming pool to see if
it hits the bottom or floats.

By Fred from Baltimore, MD on 7/10/2007

Excellent value and performance in the newer large capacity CF cards

By jmhoying from Fort Loramie, Ohio on 7/10/2007

I've used this card for over 2000 shots with my Nikon D200 and haven't had a bit of trouble. Can't really say that I noticed a speed difference over my 80X cards, but that would be hard to measure without a "scientific" test.

By rluckettb from Chicago, IL on 6/13/2007

I tend to shoot a lot of still life art & architecture. From time to time I would photograph models & family portraits. This card allow me to capture tons of shots without carrying/changing additional cards. It is also pretty fast in transferring my raw files. It was a great deal to get this card for the price including a great rebate that I'll recieve shortly. I've already recommended this deal to several photographers to take advantage. I can't think of anything negative about the product. [...]

By Mike from Winterset, IA on 6/4/2007

I've only had this card a little over a month, but I can see a huge difference in speed over anything I've owned before. Even shooting max RAW and simultaneous JPEG files from my D200, it takes continuous high speed bursts to reach a point where there is any delay necessary, waiting for the card to catch up. Every download has been smooth and trouble free.

By Tara from Western Massusetts on 5/21/2007

With this card you will never run out of space. Even using the largest image file settings on the D200, after formatting the card, I can take over 900 pictures .

By dp.mpls from Minneapolis MN on 5/14/2007

[...] Good so far-always like an established brand.

By KAL from Tenafly, N.J. on 5/13/2007

I have been using Lexar for the past couple of years, you can't go wrong, fast speed and with this card purchase the price was right 70 buck rebate!
They are pushing the faster speed cards now but it doesn’t make sense to switch for the price!

By PCheang from Alexandria, Va on 5/12/2007

I purchased this Lexar 8GB CF for professional use as I am a wedding photographer. This card is fast and reliable. It comes with a data recovery software loaded in the card (must copy to the computer before you lose it to formating the card) which provides a piece of mind. I highly recommend this card to anyone who is looking for a large capicity card.

By Salman from Las Vegas, NV on 5/12/2007

Excellent read write speeds

By jt from Detroit, MI on 5/12/2007

Performance met expectations in a Nikon D200.

By Doc. Latte from Dallas on 5/11/2007

I have several Lexar WA memory cards and use them exclusively with my Nikon D2X and D1X. They have never failed me.

By Peter A. from Silver Spring, MD on 5/10/2007

I use this CF card with my D200 to shoot JPEG + RAW and have had no problems.[...]

By Land O Lakes Photography[...] from Land O Lakes, FL on 5/10/2007

I now have 4 of these cards and love them.

By Cal Psi SAE from Southern California on 5/10/2007

The write speed is adequate for more than casual use. At [$] you can't beat it!

By muleman from Utah on 5/10/2007

The Lexar 8 GB, 133x Professional High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card with Write Acceleration (WA) arrived and is just like expected. Great quality and include Image Rescue 2 and Corel Paint Shop Pro 9. [...]

By Steve from Minneapolis, MN on 5/9/2007

133 x way fast! I got 19 frames burst on a Nikon D200 (large raw + basic jpeg) before it had to catch up... not too bad. Downloads fast to CPU too.

By Jim the Seadog from Orlando, FL on 5/9/2007

This is a reliable, high capacity memory card. It is ideal for RAW capture by professional photographers and very serious hobbyists.

By goldie from buffalo, NY on 5/9/2007

It provided needed memory for raw images.

By aw from Phila, pa on 5/9/2007

The only draw back was my Canon 10D could only register up to 999 pictures available on the card. I have no idea how many pix I can put onto the card. Card works well. Not sure if its faster since I had an 80X 2Gb card prior.

By photocarrie from seattle, wa on 5/9/2007

works great with d200

By Oldpaw from Lakeland, Florida on 5/9/2007

I chose this CF for its speed. I was able to
prove its worth at an air show.
I was able to photograph an F-16 Hornet from lift
off to vertical and a few rolls.
The flash card stored the information quickly and
accurately. From lift off to vertical onlly took
a few seconds, however I was able to take 5 pictures, which were all keepers.

By al from Redondo Beach on 5/9/2007

This item is have grat for Digital photography.

By TheFletch from Laguna Hills, CA on 5/9/2007

I've only used this 8 Gig card a few times so far, but it's very fast and seems reliable.

By Danelle from Delray Beach FL on 5/9/2007

I love this card so far. No problems. Love the size and speed when taking large jpg and raw formats at the same time.

By Nicked from Minneapolis, MN on 5/9/2007

Expected it to work as well as my Sandisk Extreme cards but it is about as slow as my Sandisk Ultimate cards! For a 'Professional' model I expected faster performance. I can understand it being slower than a 4GB or 1GB card but not this much slower.

By Bob from Springfield, VA on 5/9/2007

Works perfectly with my Canon 20D

By Len from Los Angeles, CA on 5/9/2007

The card makes photographer's fear of running of recording media at one event disappeared. With a 10.1M camera, you can record around 900 raw file. It should be more than enough to cover a single event.

By RoyG from Oxford, MI on 5/9/2007

Just as good as the 4GB it replaces and faster[...]. Can't beat that!

By sally from Morehead City NC on 5/9/2007

The speed and increased capacity of this 8 gb card are incredible. A definite must for travel assigments.

By Jim from NJ on 5/8/2007

[...] Great to be able to shoot lots of Raw + Jpeg without running out of space.

By Jeff from Lake Villa, IL on 5/8/2007

I always use the double save feature NEF (raw) and JPG (fine) for each shot I take. With the 133x speed combined with the internal buffer I have been unable to overflow the buffer on my D200. Very fast. The extra capacity is very helpful when I go on extended hikes. I can easily take 200-300 shots and saving both formats consumes a lot of space. This was a great purchase and I highly recommend it.

By MBB225 from BUCKS COUNTY, PA on 5/8/2007

Has done eveything asked of it after three weeks (and 500 pictures) of use.

By Steve from Revere MA on 5/8/2007

There's really not much to say about a fast-controller CF card that comes with image-rescue software. It works fine.

By Photo hobbyist from Lompoc, ca on 5/8/2007

Use it in my EOS 5D digital camera.

By MIke from Oakton from Oakton Virginia on 5/8/2007

Great size with over 400 images for a Nikon D200 at full quality. Wish I had this for my trip to Austraila with a D70. I have some other high quantity compact flash cards but I worry about the reliability.

By Snap-Happy Photogrammer from San Bruno, CA on 5/8/2007

Works great in my Canon 20D. For downloading to computer (an iMac) I use a SanDisk USB 2.0 fast reader... and get 15MB/sec download speeds. This is very good. Uploading to card from computer was a speedy 13.5MB/sec.A satisfied customer![...]

By Steve from Portland, OR on 5/8/2007

I got this card to boost my storage capacity for long trips and events. Normally, I would not need the card because I have several others, but this will really help, when needed. I have tested it out, and it works well thus far.

Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because it needs to be evaluated over more time, more use, before I can give a 5.

By akimartymar from Bridge City, TX on 5/8/2007

Can't go wrong with a Lexar card. Great product.

By Virtaul photoman31 from Silver Spring, MD on 5/8/2007

Can't beat the price with the rebate for this great product. Even cheaper than buying films now!
Great Service!

By Maplegrove Bob from Maple Grove, MN on 5/8/2007

I've only had the memory card a short time, but I have found it very fast and reliable. I no longer have to change cards partway through a shoot or wonder if I am going to run out of memory before the shoot is over. It was also such a good price at [...] that I couldn't justify waiting to upgrade any longer.

By Tommyk from West Chaster, Pa on 5/8/2007

Fast and easy

By photo guy from chicago on 5/8/2007

big storage which is necessary for high end cameras

By Mark from Dublin, OH on 5/8/2007

A fantastic CF card for the price. I already had the 2GB version and decided to go bigger for vacations and all day shooting.

By Bill from Largo, Fl on 5/8/2007

I am very pleased with the capacity and speed of this card

By chefjones from harper woods mi on 5/8/2007

Works great and I can't believe the price.

By Ondago Arts from Pismo Beach, CA on 5/8/2007

Product works great. Very fast both writing and deleting files.

By herefornow from iraq on 5/8/2007

I saw the buss on the nikon forum, so but the time i order it the price had changed but still i purchased it, i whish they correct the mistake and settle on one price, it will take some weeks to get the merchandise to where we are in iraq but it will be worth it. Looking foward to put it to use, we will see if it can stand the +130 heat.

By Jason the Photographer from Des Moines, IA on 5/8/2007

This CF card met all of my expectations. A great buy.

By eel from Mountain View, CA on 5/8/2007

Used with Canon 30D

By Colinas from Avondale Estates, GA on 5/8/2007

Excellent high speed card with good price/performance value.

By CamMan from Louisville on 5/8/2007

Able to take 1000's of photos on at single shoot. Any digital photographer should have.

By mdbs from houston, tx on 5/8/2007

There are plenty of room for traveling and/or Raw files

By Gunrunner from Paris, Texas on 5/8/2007

Good match with the Canon 1d MkIIN when shooting wildlife....even at -20 degrees F.

By Howie the Photographer from Boston, MA on 5/8/2007

Great experience so far -- has been fast enough to keep up and not make me wait to shoot with my Canon EOS 5D! 8GB is GREAT especially for shooting RAW and even RAW + JPG.

Also very nice knowing that I have a brand name card by a manufacturer that has a reputation for standing behind their products.

Definitely recommended! Just one caveat -- be sure to save the included software before formatting the card for the first time... just like the giant warning on the packaging tells you to! I haven't used the software yet but at least I know I have it...

By Tuner from South Cincinnati on 5/8/2007

Fast write speeds, quick downloads, works great!

By The wishful thinker from Torrance, CA on 5/8/2007

This is an excellent product at an excellent price. It works flawlessly. Even though my camera manual states that cards bigger than 2GB have not been tested, it works with out a hitch. I shoot raw files and I need the space. Transfer to my computer was quicker than the 40X and also without problems. I would strongly recommend Lexar Professional cards for their reliability. I have been using a Lexar 2GB Professional for more than five years and it never failed.

By Ram53 from Arkansas on 5/8/2007

As advertised, great product.

By Florida photographer from Destin Florida on 5/8/2007

The Lexar 8Gig has performed flawlessly for me. As a professional photographer, I needed alot of storage, fast write and reading and the Lexar has met my expectations as promised. I have one card in each of my Canon Mark II's. I highly recommend this product. You will not be dissapointed.

By Jeff prefers B&W from Brookfield, WI on 5/8/2007

[...] Didn't know if 8GB would work in Minolta Maxxum 7D. It works fine! Of course the camera only counts up to 9999 images. I shoot RAW +JPEG and get 655 on this card.

By Digital Don from Chicago, IL on 5/8/2007

Purchased for use with Canon EOS-1D and Ds MKII bodies. Compared against Sansdisk Extreme II and III cards very favorably. Rebate brought the price down to a very attractive level against lower performance cards. Large images need a lot of bandwidth and storage - this card delivers.

By David from King of Prussia, PA on 5/8/2007

I use this in a Canon 30d. The largest cf card I had before this was 2 gigs. Because of it's greater size, it takes noticeably longer to format or to delete all pics. Also, my pc takes a moment longer to process it. None of this is a problem though, it works great!

By phantom from New York, NY on 5/8/2007

Excellent product... I've been wanting to buy this for a long time until [...] had this special price with Rebates that it was too hard to resist... by far this has been one of my best investments. Great job [...] and Lexar for teaming up together for this great product for the price!!! Very solid and don't have to worry about losing pictures with this bad boy!

By Duncan from Livermore ME on 5/8/2007

No problems. A good match for my Nikon D200.

By xtoothdr from san francisco on 5/8/2007

Meets or exceeds all expectations
Competitive pricing
Was 'best of breed' at time of purchase

By Joe from Buffalo, NY on 5/8/2007

I have been swayed by the Lexar performance to purchase a number of cards. I was amazed by the storage capacity of the 8 GB card. HOWEVER, I was a loyal Lexar customer, I might have to look around. I shoot all Canon 1D Mark III bodies and they eat up space rapidly. I was using a number of Lexar pro 2 GB 80x cards with positively perfect results and amazing card writing qualities. I have a customer that wants RAW files and the 2GB wasn't going to work. I purchased 6 - 8 GB 133x cards and can't believe how S L O W the cards are to write to. I have a 32 frame buffer and these cards eat up the whole 32 frame buffer when shooting sports action. I am still sold on the Lexar brand but I think the larger cards can't perform as well as the smaller cards do.

By Don the Mountain Bike Rider from Santa Rosa on 5/8/2007

Great price, large capacity, and fast read write access. Great for storing video files on.

By Steven Due from Durham, NC on 5/8/2007

This is an extremely fast card. No problems with it at all.
I use this in conjunction with my Lexar 2GB, 133x

By Durbill from Sun City, AZ on 5/8/2007

Met all expectations. I couldn't be happier with it.

By Bob from East Alton, Illinois -Near St.Louis, Mo. on 5/8/2007

I can shoot an entire event (I.E. wedding fund raiser, ect...)without ever changing cards or being concerened about card failure.

By Fotoartist from newcastle, ca on 5/8/2007

Quick, fast and reliable

By maxnoy from Seattle, WA on 5/8/2007

Bottom line, get it for regular shooting or travel. Look elsewhere if you need to get the best burst performance.I got this card because it's an unbeatable value for general photography and travel. 8GB stores plenty of RAW shots from any camera. The downside is that it's not very fast. In Canon cameras, it's no faster and maybe even slower than the very basic SanDisk CF 1GB card I have. And up to 25-30% slower than the smaller SanDisk Ultra II cards in my camera.I tested it against other cards I have to see how many RAW and JPEG shots I can get in 30 seconds with a Canon 1D MkII[...]

So far so good. No complaints. at all.

By Randy Jones Real Estate from Poway, CA on 2/12/2007

Incredible fast read/write speeds. With the Lexar compact flash card reader, it is almost as fast as a wireless connection.
