Top Rated Gear: Lexar 8GB Professional 800x CompactFlash Card Max Read Speed: 120MB/s (800x), Package Count: Single Pack

These are the first Hi capacity compact flash cards from Lexar I purchased. I owned several cards from other brands but up to 16GB only. This (Lexar 64GB Pro 800x) is made in China and  shipped in a nice package. Insert to my Canon 5D II and it works flawlessly. This flash card also includes a downloadable software Image Rescue. So far, no problem yet so I don't use it.
Highly recommended for its prices and its performance .

Highly recommended

It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and at incredible value. My first DSLR (Nikon D100) took a 512MB CF card for ($), back in the day!

Amazing progress in tech!

This is a fast CF flash. I used it over the weekend, and had no problems whatsoever. I was able to record video with ease. I would definitely purchase this again.

Good for Video

These cards! Am I right!?

Its agreat card for fast downloading  recommend if you need speed.

lexar pro is great

I have been using the same four copies of Lexar 800x UDMA7 16 GB Compact Flash Cards for 4-years now and they have worked outstandingly all the while.  I needed some extra memory and purchased the 32 GB cards which are working just fine.  I can really notice the difference between these and slower, non-UDMA, cards when shooting with my Canon 7D cameras.  They are faster in writing and also, when using a Lexar USB 3.0 UDMA capable reader - faster in writing to the computer.  I have the reader connected to my computer via a USB 2.0 port. I would expect that if I were to utilize a USB 3.0 port, that the transfer speed would be even faster.

Great CF Cards

I have a few of these cards, one lasted one shooting then just quit working. I also shot a wedding and used them, It recorded it all as I went along but all the images were gone after I finished. That is two cards that did not work. The ones that do work are great, fast and so far reliable.

Good and bad

When shopping for a set of CF cards I ran across many "great deals". Most are direct imports from China and if you read into them the seller has many complaints about selling counterfeits.  To ease my fears I chose and will always choose Adorama for my photography gear. 
I know if I ever have an issue with anything I purchase from Adorama I will be taken care of fairly and quickly.

Great Trust

Got this to use with a Canon 5Dll. Put a whole wedding of RAWs on it. Good price.

Like it

My new Lexar 800X compact flash media appears to be working  AOK on my Nikon D800E RAW file image making although I have only had it for less than a week and taken few images to date other than testing it. 
Will follow up with my satisfaction as I use it more frequently over the next several months.

Great Card for the Money

Just solid - great reliable cards.  Never had any issues with Lexar cards since the first many years ago.

solid - professional's choice

Not the fastest nor largest capacity CF card, none the less, this Lexar 32GB card works very well for most routine uses. If you are using the Canon 5Ds or 5DSr, you'll probably want a larger card. Or in those situations where your 1DX is going at 12 FPS, this card will not be fast enough.  Or shooting lots of HD video. For the rest of us, this card represents excellent value and strong, reliable performance.

Solid Gear for Most Situations

Even though sensor size has dramatically increased in recent years, I am a firm believer in using smaller memory cards in order to limit capture loss in the case of physical loss.  No matter how careful one is, memory cards ARE small, and can be either temporarily misplaced OR permanently lost.   So, when this sale was on, I purchased several more in this size to add to my "collection".  In fact, I almost wished that I purchased more at the time.

GREAT BUY/GREAT PRODUCT

Bought them for my daughter, I use XQD cards but Lexar cards have always been good, thus my choice for my daughter!

Don't know

I have used Lexar CF cards in the 5D, 5DII, and 5D3 with no failures or issues in camera or downloading.

Never been disapointed with Lexar cards

I have been using this product  for years. They hold a lot of pictures and are dependable. I am glad the price is coming down, that is always nice. I was in Estes Park, Colorado for a week of shooting. They worked great. when you go to the expense of traveling like that with lodging a great workshop and all you want dependability.

I have been using these for a long time

I only purchase Lexar or Sandisk cards and have never had any problems. This 64 gb card was fast enough and had a good price. All I required!

Good card, good price.

I buy many to take on trips so I don't have to carry a laptop to download daily.

Never had one fail me.

These are my go-to SD cards

Excellent CF cards!  Efficient and reliable.  What more do you want?

Efficient and Reliable

I need reliability along with fast record speeds. Led at Pro cards offer both at a fair price.

Great speed and reliable

I purchased this product for timelapse photography - to have a card that would fit an extended shoot.  I love it, and have had good success with the Lexar products.

Great product!

Good price and speed. Takes a beating and keeps working. Great service replacing the occasional card that goes bad too. Not eager to go much larger (this holds 200 Nikon D800 RAW images) to keep things moving quickly when importing a shoot.

Happy Lexar customer

Awesome solid card!   Love Lexar, however do not have a strong preference between SanDisk or Lexar,  Both are fine for me.

Awesome solid card!

Love using 64 GB card.  Pretty much entire wedding fits in one card.   Oh yes I do use 2 cards when I shoot 1SD card and backup CF card.    No issues so far, very solid

Perfect no issues

What can I say.. it's a very nice card with fast speed.  Love it.

Very nice card

Attended several events last week, and it covered a good number of them.  Probably don't want to put all the eggs in one basket, but if you don't have time to change cards, this one is great.  Used with D700.

Good Buy

Not much to say about this memory card. It holds tons of photos and downloads quickly. Exactly what it is supposed to do.

memory card

I currently use thes cards in my Nikon D800. Excellent speed, durability and overall performance. I have always used Lexar cards in my DSLR's and have never had a failure. Great product.

Long time Lexar user

I just bought a Canon 5d II and was in need of a CompactFlash Card.  I never used Lexar before but Adorama had a special.  I'm glad I took the chance.  The card is very sturdy and very fast to upload. I would not hesitate to buy this brand over Sandisk.  At this time I do not have anything negative to say about this brand or their CompactFlash card.
