Used SanDisk 16GB Extreme III Compact Flash Memory Card

I use only SanDisk and count on their reliability and the RescuePro software that came with this card is extremely useful.

This works fine ... everyday use, including movies, it's fast enough.

I am buying 16GB Sandisk Extreme cards now to accommodate the larger file sizes of my CanonD Mark II's. My 4GB & 8GB Sandisk Extreme cards have been (and still are) incredibly reliable, so my hope is the 16GB will continue the tradition.

Cards were already formatted and ready to go! Started shooting pictures immediately. No problems with multiple frame sequence shots but have not tested the functionality with faster cards. Bought 3 of these cards and all functioned perfectly out of the box.

Excellent Compact Flash with a large capacity and very fast! Nearly 1000 pictures in better quality. Portability is guaranteed!

Terrific capacity for my Canon 7D. Gives you lots of flexibility in storing a whole vacations worth of pictures. Works well in shooting fast action sports at the 8 frames/sec that the 7D is capable of.

I use this card for my 7d, and it works GREAT! The only problem that I run into is that the capacity is small. I use this for both video and photography. If you use your camera for mainly photos, then you are fine. However if you plan on shooting 1080p footage, you may consider paying a little extra for the 32gb card. I am buying a 32gb card here very shortly.

Bought this for my photography-hobbyist dad. He says it's easy to use, reliable and has a lot of storage space.

I can store lots of photos and take lots of pictures for the big memory card that I purchased.

UDMA for the 5D Mark II. 16GB easily allows you to store both RAW and JPEG at the largest resolutions. Mine was free with the camera, so GREAT VALUE goes without saying...

SanDisk Extreme III cards are rugged and reliable. I have several. No failures.

Love the large capacity. i use this exlusively to shoot RAW on my Nikon D700 and it writes fast and doesn't slow me down.

This product bundled at three CF cards for an excellent price was a bargain.

Speed and reliability in a trusted name brand, not the fastest but very easily handles even the super large files and movies from the 5D MkII. Write speeds that won't leave you waiting and read speeds that'll keep your workflow moving, priced right to make it the easy choice all the way around. Thanks SanDisk, for a job well done! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because SanDisk just announced new 60Mbps and 90Mbps cards! But this one is still the workhorse of the lineup.

For professional work, equipment malfunctions are not acceptable. So far all Sandisk cards are all 100% reliable. 16GB is good for about 45 minutes of video on the 5DII. It takes about 10 minutes to transfer 16GB into the computer using a Extreme firewire reader. For value, reliability, speed go with Sandisk.

I had typically used Transcend flash memory because the price is so much lower than others. But when Sandisk had the rebate, I just couldn't pass it up for a few weddings I have scheduled. The first wedding was this past weekend and this CF card worked flawlessly. It was very fast. I always shoot RAW+large JPEG and although I wasn't trigger happy, the buffer never filled on me causing me to lose a shot. The few bursts I did have were written out to the card very quickly. While I do like Transcend, this will probably be my main go-to flash card for critical work solely because it is a bit faster and because it is designed to withstand more extreme temperatures. Without the rebate, the price is a bit high. But after the rebate, it was much more reasonable (assuming they do honor the rebate and not play games.) The included recovery software is a nice bonus, although there are some good freebies out there, too.

The card works great with sony's HRV-V1U. You can record 77 minutes and so far not a single problem.

The large capacity is great to photograph RAW, TIFF and JPEG files. I also used it as a 'backup' knowing that a copy of the images were safe in case something should happen to my desktop while completing the project. The 16gig capacity was large enough that I could keep every file on it until after burining them to disks/backup drives and then deleting them. This peace of mind is worth the price. Photographing large simultaneous events was a breeze.

As always, the San Disk Compact Flash Memory card has been very reliable. [...]

I have used SanDisk products since I started shooting digital and they have never let me down. I started with the Ultra series and am now using the Extreme III. I shoot alot of sports action and the cards have all performed without problems. These are the cards to buy.

This would be a 5 star product, but the first card I received was defective out of the box. That said, Sandisk customer service was pleasant and warranty exchange easy and fast. I use all SanDisk cards (6 total) and have never experienced a problem with any of them. They are well built, reliable, and fast.

Very large for todays cameras. Works well. Downloads are quick enough. I've never lost a picture with sandisk.

Great card, lots of room with my new Canon 5D Mark II. I needed more room with more megapixels. Also Sandisk name, you know that they stand behind their products. You can't trust your photos to just any memory card.
