I tried these Sandisk cards when the Kingston ones I had purchased for the D300 were not compatible. There seems to be an issue with some Compact Flash cards in the D300 - these cards work and I am happy with them.

I really love San Disk. This is a great card, but not my first San Disk. I have several cards for my Canon S3IS as well as two for my new Canon 40D. I have never had a problem with a San Disk card.

Excellent place for digital capture!

Works great. Love the amount of photos -- no fear of running out of space. I do a lot of sports photography. We are in hockey season and I can just shoot breakaways and face-offs and not worry about missing a shot while changing out a card. Very happy.

Awesome storage, and hard to find...

Best Uses:

Digital Capture, Digital Photography, Used over 13gb twice

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I purchased this cf before I went on a trip to Yellowstone. It handled as expected! Perfect! I used the Nikon D2x and large picture with NEF (raw) and jpeg small. It stored over 13gb twice and I filled it once! The price is up there, I did purchase with the rebate and will wait again to do the same. These high end camera's just dare you to use up you cf cards and having a few of these (I have 3 bodies) is my plan! [...]

Fan of SanDisk

By Devilduckies

from Dakota Territory on 7/10/2007

Pros:

Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Best Uses:

Large storage space, On long trips, When shooting in RAW

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Because I don't own a laptop to take with me on long trips (yet), I needed a compact flash card where I wouldn't have to worry about running out of room, especially if I decide to shoot in RAW for some of the pictures. I like the 20MB/sec reading/writing speed which will come in handy if I happen to see any whales off the Alaskan coast.

I purchased this when SanDisk was offering rebates on the Extreme III cards so I received a very good deal.

I also have a 4GB Extreme III card as well.

Incredible value with sandisk rebate

By Jason

from Boulder, CO on 7/10/2007

Pros:

Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Cons:

Not as fast as Extreme IV

Best Uses:

Prosumer DSLR

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Holds ~1100 shots of RAW+JPEG at 12.7MP.
Copies from USB CF reader at about 500MB/minute.
Works fine on Canon 5D, but you have to format it with an external program (HP sp27213) to keep all 16GB of space. 5D will format it to 8GB only.
