The card becomes a non issue. It makes the speed of my Nikon D3 complete!

By Topslakr from New Hampshire on 7/23/2008

This card is fast enough to keep up with the D300 and offers plenty of capacity while shooting RAW. Cheaper would always be nice but it was worth the money. I wouldn't mind getting just the card and not the carrying case and recovery CD if it would save me a few dollars.

If you are shooting with a D300 this card is a great choice. It's able to keep pace when shooting in JPG so that the buffer never fills up and when shooting RAW it's the camera that holds you back, not the card. Excellent choice.

By Cam Dude from Riverside, CA on 7/23/2008

Nice Card, works good, writes fast.

By ilykvws from Hampton, VA on 7/11/2008

This card is lightning fast and plenty big. It can keep up with a Nikon D300 set to continuous shooting! Very happy with it so far.

By MM from Los Angeles on 7/10/2008

This card writes faster then my SanDisk III card. My opinion is based on observation as I do not have any way to truly measure the performance other than comparing the two cards in my D300.

By Computer Dave from Santa Clara, CA on 6/27/2008

I bought a D300 and my Sandisk Extreme II cards couldn't keep up. I got a couple of these 8GB Extreme IV cards and my D300 keeps shooting away. I also got the Extreme Firewire Reader and the downloads to my Mac are fast. It's an expensive card, but worth the money if you are doing bursts of pictures with a D300 or similar DSLR.

Fast data transfers.

By Elno_ATL from Atlanta, Ga on 3/6/2008

I use this card mainly with a D300 to shoot soccer games. It has been a perfect match for the camera.
I wish SanDisk comes up with 16GB/32GB Extreme IV. that would be awesome.

By Thiel-lover from Hburg, VA on 2/21/2008

This product worked great in both the D300 and the D70

By Shapack from Southeast on 2/19/2008

Initially I was concerned about putting so many images on one card, but I've found the Extreme IV 8GH to exceed expectations. I've had excellent results with Sandisk in the past.

By Adam from Maui, HI. on 2/5/2008

I rely of Sandisk for the reliability of its products. This card is another fine example of its professional level products.

By Randy from Washington D.C. on 1/22/2008

I use it to shoot sports for a college newspaper. I can get a long series of shots of players going up for a big dunk or a run around sweep.

By OzarksHome from near Springfield, MO on 1/21/2008

These cards work great in the new Nikon D3 and D300. When teamed with the new SanDisk UDMA reader transfer is quick and reliable to the computer. Fastest transfer of images I have experienced from any make of card.

By Moses from Tiverton, RI on 1/21/2008

I have about 16 4 GB and 8 GB cards from SanDisk, and often shoot more that 12,000 images in a weekend. SanDisk cards have been 100% reliable for me over the last 5 years. But the Extreme IV cards have been a big improvement for me because of noticeably faster record times during fast action, and very significantly improved download times IF YOU USE A FIREWIRE 800 CARD READER (2x faster than extreme III - it adds up, believe me).

By Riverdogzdad from Orange County, California on 1/21/2008

Quick. Large enough for most jobs.

By dave from california on 1/21/2008

Great card, works great with my Canon 1D Mark III in burst rate, very important to capture sports actions and not miss a shot!

By Ken from Manhattan Beach/Honolulu on 10/3/2007

Works flawlessly with my Nikon D200. Love having all the space when I am shooting high quality JPEGs and RAW at the same time. Don't have to worry about running out of space in the middle of a shoot. I have two empties with me everytime I take my camera out. Pricey but worth it.

By TheMirrorMan from Cape Coral , Fla. on 9/30/2007

Very fast in camera but if your going to get this spend the extra and get the firewire card reader to double the card to computer speed. I also deleted some photos (deliberately) and used the software to recover. This Product is perfect especially with their card reader. [...] Thanks Sandisk for a great product.

By Matt from Grand Rapids, MI on 9/26/2007

Using this card for my wedding photography business where I shoot RAW files with my Canon 30D and 40D. Never any hesitation in the write speed, even when shooting max frames per second. Never change out a card again with the huge 8 gig capacity.

By JCH from CT on 9/26/2007

As advertised, fast, fast, fast. I've always been a SanDisk Extreme fan and the products just keep getting better.

By Sal from Poway, CA on 9/26/2007

I would definitely recommend this to a friend. SanDisk has always been reliable for me and my digital photography. The increase speed with this card is amazing.

By doubleXposure from Orlando, FL on 9/26/2007

Fast and reliable - even with 1dmk3 10fps bursts.

By JJA from Torrance, CA on 9/26/2007

Great card, works as advertised. Very fast.

By Bill from Greensboro, NC on 8/2/2007

This card has eliminated my memory concerns when shooting a large number of RAW files.

By TWC from Los Angeles, CA on 7/12/2007

The Extreme IV provides a significant improvement in download speed when used with a card reader that can take advantage of the new interface - and that is important for a card this large.

By Ex-Lexar Customer from Tampa, FL on 7/11/2007

Memory Card is very fast but the rebates are very slow, I'm still waiting. Still better than Lexar's rebate (promise and does not deliever)program.

By Arfoplex from Milwaukee, WI on 7/10/2007

Just got back from Alaska - and I just couldn't take enough digital photos. The 8GB capacity let me concentrate on composition, exposure, etc., without having to worry about running out of image storage capacity in the middle of the day. Fantastic.

By yazabunny from Northridge CA on 7/10/2007

i did not get the newest 800 FW reader, still using the Sandisk USB multi card reader, and it took less than 10 minutes to download 8 gigs, awesome! the surprise was that it writes faster than my Extreme III SD card in my Canon 1D MkII by maybe 20%

By DeeDee G. from Southern California on 7/10/2007

I have had SanDisk CF cards since 2003 and have never - that's right NEVER had an problems with lost images or corruption.
I would highly recommend these cards.

By Imeod from Lansing, KS on 7/10/2007

I have never had a problem with SanDisk's extreme 8GB card. It is super fast, especially when I use it with my extreme card reader. As the price continues to drop, I will buy more.

Used SanDisk since the beginning, and see no reason to change now. Still the leader as far as I'm concerned. A first-rate product that I've never had fail on me. Keep 'em coming!

It is huge and reliable. And most importantly, it is very fast.

By Ashly from Austin, TX on 5/14/2007

Huge storage capacity, especially for RAW shooters and great reliability make this a steal. Why carry a pocket full of cards when you can carry one or two? As an added bonus, I've never ever had a Sandisk fail on me.

By Jack from Baltimore on 5/13/2007

Clearly the leader to date, it is all it was said to be. [...]

By Rodeo photo man from Ukiah, CA on 5/12/2007

This card lets my 1DmkIIn capture at max frame rate and lets me download with no pain(using Sandisk's reader}

By Freeman88 from Portland, OR. on 5/11/2007

I've been using "Extreme IV" CFs for about 6 months and I've always been impressed by these products. Quick, reliable and now the most cost effective card on the market.

pretty fast with raw files.

By Hank from Honolulu, Hi on 5/8/2007

It is just right for going on short trips and is very fast.

By Mike from Chicago on 5/8/2007

Works great in new Hasselblad H3D-39 Camers. 39 Mpxl RAW files require fast write time and fast upload to computer. Tnis CF card with newly designed SanDisk Extreme IV Firewire 800/400 CF Card Reader is the perfect solution.

By Dave the VandenbergWildlife Photographer from Lompoc, CA on 5/8/2007

I shoot only JPEG and I can get over 3000 images with my 8.2 mega pixel camera. When shooting high speed (5 fps) the SanDisk 8 GB Extreme IV Compact Flash Memory Card records them as fast as the camera dishes it out - doesn't slow up a bit. No more missed wildlife shoots for me. With 8 GB, I can shoot all day and tomorrow too.

Fast, fast, fast.

By Rogpac2 from Allen, TX on 5/8/2007

Have had no problems. Works as described.

By OSev from San Francisco, CA on 5/8/2007

I can't confirm the write speed of RAW to the card. However, images appear on the LCD almost instantly and much quicker than with smaller (2 and 4 gig) Extreme III's and a 4 gig Lexar 133x.

By Cinematographer from Slovakia on 5/8/2007

Ideal Card for Time-lapse photography.

By Elzada from Oregon on 5/8/2007

Shooting fast action at 5 frames/sec and a combo of RAW/JPEG Fine-Large, I want the best I can get for my D200.

By Kristopher250 from Atlanta, GA on 5/8/2007

Everything I want: good price[...], plenty of storage for now that I shoot only NEF (raw). You can't out run this card with a D200!

By Vic from Columbus, OH on 5/8/2007

If you like to take raw pictures and you plan on taking more than up to 500 at one time without any breaks, this is a great option for you. It's especially good since you don't have to relabel your pictures.

By Kazuya Kimura from Irvine, CA on 5/5/2007

I told to some of my friends to get this product.
It is great deal!

By DB Images from Washington, DC on 3/26/2007

Write speed is wonderful. Able to shoot dozen or more RAW and the card keeps up.

By professional photographer from Durham, NC on 3/26/2007

Dependable high-gig card that meets the demands of today's professional DSLR cameras.

By Captain Jack from Newbury Park, CA on 3/26/2007

Present camera, Nikon D2X, using compact flash.
I use three, Extreme III, 4GB and just added an
Extreme IV, 8GB. 8GB is the max size for my D2X. I'm shooting several sports,indoor and outdoor church events,some nature and portrait. RAW+JPEG, 200 to
500 images a week. Sandisk performs perfectly. Shooting at a max of 8 frames a second, I have not stalled with the Extreme IV.
Adarama has always had the best prices. Sandisk
always has the best product.I will buy one more 8GB for my present work.

By Mark M from Houston, TX on 2/12/2007

Use this product for high speed data aquisition. No problems with prolonged transfer rates at 40M/s. A great buy.
