highly recommended

Its huge and fast, although not so impressively fast

I used this to take pictures of a wedding, the space was great and completely neccesary and the speed is great too. I never had to think about the card because it was doing its work so well. I used it on a rebel xti and the speed of the camera improved (of course) over a Ultra II San Disc card. After I used it on a 40D and worked like a charm. The thing is, although it is noticeably faster, Im not completely impressed with it. When I transfered the files to the computer I used a USB II port and the speed was around 10MB/sec not 30. Maybe Im wrong in some interpretation here... I dont know. Thats not so important, the important thing is that the card never limits one to take pictures becouse it cant save fast enough.

Bottom line, its great, it does it work well and as far as I know I recommend it.

Fast Disk

Awesome disk. Very fast. I can snap about 1,700 fine grade (14.2 mp) on one disk. Nice quality output. Highly recommended, and merchant did a nice quick order process for me. Oh yes, I like the little disk case that they include in this kit. (:

Had some problems, but overall very pleased...

Bought the 8gb Extreme III before going to a friend's wedding, as I had also just picked up a Canon 40D and wanted to give the camera's burst shooting a workout. All of the shots were captured quickly, I never had to wait for the camera/memory to "catch up" so I was generally pleased - until I got home...

Apparently it's not such a good idea to mess with the file structure outside of your camera. I popped the card into my computer's card reader and started to delete some blurry and duplicate shots I just didn't need. I then popped the card back into the camera to take some shots around my house and the camera read "card not formatted". At that point, I decided to pop the card back into the computer to see what the deal was. I almost had a heart-attack when I saw an empty folder where there had once been about 1300 JPG files. Luckily the story has a good ending... I used the RescuePRO software that came with the card and it found the files (even files that I had deleted manually from my camera during the wedding).

I would strongly recommend that you format your card upon first use and each time you swap between computer and camera (obviously, save the files to your computer before your re-format). After the RescuePRO memory recovery (took about 2 hours) and a fresh re-format, the card seems to work fine. I hope my incident helps current and new E-III buyers.

Great capacity

I recently purchased a Nikon D200 digital SLR camera and armed it with the SanDisk 8GB Cf card. It will hold approximately 1400 photos in full raw data mode and thousands in jpeg. This the only csrd I'll ever have to buy for this camera.

Good Stuff

Works as advertised and doesn't skip a beat when shooting 4-5 frames per second. You'll love it especially if you shoot RAW.
