Speed does matter [Posted on 2008-10-09]
I have other Sandisk CF cards that have a lower writing speed but as I progress is learning more about photography, the research indicate that faster writing speeds were better for shots that involved wildlife and nature. I purchased what I could afford at this time and was amazed at how much faster this Extreme III card was over my other cards. It worked perfectly and we took over 500 shots in RAW format during a trip to Chicago recently. Great product.
Extremely bad customer service [Posted on 2008-10-17]
I had one of these cards burn up while downloading pictures. So I lost about 350 images.
But getting the card replaced turned into a LOT of messages back and forth from the "Customer Service" department. They just keep sending stock "Trouble shooting" tips instead of reading my messages or issuing and RMA. They don't seem to have any intention of replacing the card. And at this point, I'm just going to post the card on the wall of our rental studio with a printout of all the messages from the "support team"
Maybe the 300+ people who use the studio will get the message, never buy Sandisk again.
I own quite a few 4-16GB CF and SD cards. I'm putting them on eBay before I lose more data.
Fast Media card [Posted on 2008-11-17]
I bought this for my wife's Nikon D70 Camera. Sandisk has always provided us with excellent service. It was bought as an upgrade and it definately is fast
fast and reliable...great CF card! [Posted on 2008-11-17]
I just got back from Kenya where I was shooting photos for my work and also took a lot of personal photos while on a safari. This card was great! I didn't have any problems and never had to wait for the card to catch up to me. I took nearly 800 photos in RAW without having to fumble around swapping cards while bouncing along in the Maasai Mara. I highly recommend this card.
Quick and Delivered On Time [Posted on 2008-11-22]
I ordered the product and it was delivered on time. I use the memory in a Canon D-5 and in terms of response it is excellent. The memory formatted though you must have updated the D-5's software to have it recognize 8 gig of memory. No problems to date - I've had the memory for a month.
