Used SanDisk 4GB Extreme III Compact Flash Memory Card.

2008-12-07T19:00:00

I've used this card for a year on my 40D (just shy of 10,000 shots). I shoot everything from fast action to landscapes to portraits. Never a lag, never a glitch -- just flawless performance from the snow of the Sierras to 100+ degrees in the Sacramento valley. Photos upload quickly to the computer, too.

The Extreme III ensures that the limit on my Canon 5D is the download speed of the camera, I am never limited by the memory card. I generally shoot RAW and use three 4 GB cards per outing so as to never risk more than a third of my effort. With that said, I have never had a corrupted or lost image with any of the cards.

Just started with new SLR and decided on getting 2 Extreme III 4GB cards. Best choice I ever made. Faster than I thought and a top performer. Need to get some more. Cant go wrong. Thanks SanDisk, you convinced this newbee!!!!!

We have 6 Sandisk extreme cards, they all work great with zero problems. Cards are used in 3 differant cameras in a professional full-time working studio..never had a problem with one.

Excellent card. Works well even when shooting in Raw and firing off multiple photo bursts. Well worth the money.

I just got two of these cards for a trip to some canyons out west. I never had a single problem with either card. Cleaned them off everyday to my laptop - worked great. Fast and reliable. I never noticed them while shooting. No waiting and they can upload faster than my laptop can handle I am sure.

There's not a lot you can say about memory cards unless you've had one go bad. I've had other Sandisk cards and they've been reliable. This one is fast enough for rapid bursts on my D200. I appreciate that they bundle these with an image rescue program and a keychain case.

Although I thought I'd never run out of room taking pics on our weekend races, last year I missed a few good shots at the end of the feature race at the race track because I had to stop and switch to another card... Never Again.. Thanks..

I have never used the Extreme IV cards, but these Extreme III cards are excellent. Being a professional photographer, my photos are critical. I know I can trust these cards. Plus, they come with rescue software in case of any problems.

There's not much to say about this card that hasn't already been said somewhere, it's just a Flawless piece of high technology that is like the Energizer Bunny and Just Keeps Going & Going & Going ! As a Professional Photographer I own (5) of these & (2) 2GB Versions and I have yet to have a single problem complaint with this card. Using a Nikon D300 that takes advantage of the Read/Write speeds it just burns up the captures and keeps doing it day after day. If your using a ProSumer - Pro level camera and not using a minimum of an Extreme III card your missing out on the blazing speeds of this card and cheating yourself out of some pure joy, Nuff Said !

I have used three of these cards for over a year now. They have been subjected to tempuratures ranging from -10 to +105 without any problems. They have taken some pretty good impacts; gone for long motorcycle and bicycle rides (vibrations-s-s-s-s), and have never shown any sign of failure. Failure is not an option when the loss of hard earned photographic data is critical. Each card comes with a little frisbee called a "recovery disk". I suppose there is a possibility for problems, but I have yet to see any. In the continous mode, the cards keep up fine when shooting RAW and JPEG simultaneously. It is a great product. I have no need to search around for another Brand/Model. Hope they work as well for you too!

I have 3 of these and they are simply the most reliable cards and with a great price to boot. There is no reason not to have a few of these in your bag if you have a 5D or any other 8-12 megapixel camera.

Haven't had any issues with SanDisk to date. Good value especially with prices continuing to come down.

Perfect size. For normal shooting there is more than enough room to shoot raw. I have back-ups for those extra long days of shooting. I like not relying on one super large card.

I recently took two of these cards (as well as two 2GB Extreme IV cards) on an 8-day vacation to London and Belgium. I used them with a Nikon D300 (a 12MP camera), capturing 12-bit lossless compressed RAW files. These 4GB cards held nearly 300 such large images. The capacity was great. Before the trip I was worried about running out of space. Thus during the first few days I spent time reviewing in-camera shots and deleting duds and probable duds, and not taking shots that might have been marginal. But it became apparent that I had plenty of room, which made shooting more comfortable for the rest of the trip. (And caused less drain on my camera battery, thanks to not using the LCD panel as much.) I began experimenting more, which was fun -- that's photography! (My two 2GB Extreme IV cards are fine too, but I prefer the doubled size with somewhat slower speed of these 4GB Extreme III cards. Not having to pay as much attention to the shot-counter is handy, with only a modest speed reduction when uploading. I did not see any in-camera speed differences between the Extreme III and IV cards.) Back home after the trip, I used a new SanDisk FireWire reader to copy the images from the cards onto my Mac. Copying a nearly-full 4GB only took a minute or two. To me, this card is a great blend of size and speed for the price.

I have been using another brand that starts with an l and ends with an r. I have lost many exposures with this brand but none with the Sandisc III. Love this card

The Extreme III cards are by far the best for image capture on my Nikon D200. I wouldn't trust my photos to any other card manufacturer.

I am just using the product to transfer images to and from different computers for now but the card is nice and fast. I am glad I purchased it... I purchased the compact flash version because I am purchasing either a D200 or a D300 soon and the cards where at a good price.

Works as advertised with no flaws seen so far in my Canon 40D. I will definitely buy more!

A really great reliable card ... fast in icy cold. I have not used this card yet in really hot conditions. So far, no failure rate at all ... nor do I expect one. In general I have found SanDisk to provide cards of excellent quality.

The best thing that I can say about SanDisk CF cards is that I do not have to think about them, they are reliable, they work.

As an advanced hobbist, I no longer have to worry about not having enough for events I shoot. Product has a great reputation. That's why I bought it.

Not as fast as the Extreme IV, but a nice card for the price.

I use this in my Nikon D200. I also have the reader by Sandisk plugged into my Mac. Great speed and reliable card.
