Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

Nikon D300 has a relatively large buffer size - about 19 shots for RAW, however, that buffer is easily overflown and miss the shot if you are shooting with 8 frames/sec. I was using 4GB 133x Lexar and Sandisk Extreme III (20MB/sec version) and although those cards are not really slow cards, sometimes those cards just cannot keep up with D300.

This card offers the speed I was looking for -- I can still squeese the shutters 2 or 3 more shots before the buffer is totally full. I will keep my old 4GB CF cards, but this card will surely stay in my D300 for most of time.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

I upgraded from a 133x, 2GB CF of a different brand and can really see the difference. Jumping to 8GB mean swapping cards less, and the write speed is phenomenal. Highly recommend 300x for rapid shooting.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

I have two other cards, only smaller ones. Needed another one as my son is going to EAA to help and needs the camera to take some photos with the Rebel XTi. This card is great! Not only can you get a lot of pictures on them, it downloads fast and the pictures are clear and crisp. Taking photos of F-16 and F-22's in flight is not easy, but he even gets the condensation on the wings at a crystal clear pictures. Wouldn't use anything else.

I use it too as I am a PAO for the Civil Air Patrol and takes LOTS of pictures. Always ready to go and able to take action pictures.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

Have quite a few 2 gb and 4 gb CF cards I use and only one is not a Lexar. Still find myself filling them up too fast, so I took the plunge and bought an 8 gb card. It writes fast and, so far, like all my Lexar cards, has been dependable. With memory prices always coming down, I'll add at least one more to my bag.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

I'm using it on my Nikon D300 and before this card I was using a Sandisk 4GB Ultra 2.
I may say that there is a short advantage for the Lexar UDMA on camera usage but transferring the files to my MacBook Pro... that surely amazed me.

Hope others enjoy this product. Good Luck.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

The Lunar Eclipse was the first time using this card and it was -39 Celceus, the cold was biting my skin. I was shooting with my D2XS and F4-600. The cards capability to capture as fast as I shoot was unparalled to any other CompactFlash card I've used. Excellent card Lexar.

Comments about Lexar Lexar 8 GB Professional 300x UDMA Compact Flash Memory Card:

We use this product in Canon 20D and 5D respectively. Extremely reliable and fast.

Might something like this but with more capacity replace Mini DV, HD-DV and Mini CD recording media in the future? Say 16GB x2 in a Camcorder, amateur or pro= 32GB HDD, no? No moving parts, wheels, sprockets, belts... Battery will also last longer... I'm sayin'...
Unfortunately however, the bundled Image Recovery v3.0 software that comes with the CF card is totally useless. V2.0 was infinitely better.

I use this card with my Canon SLR and I love it. The image write times are fast, and the card is reliable. The absolute best feature is when you combine this card with the Firewire 800 reader, the transfer rate from the card to computer is incredibly fast! You can also 'daisy chain' multiple readers for fast parallel transfers from multiple cards.
