Dream came true [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I use it with D200 with F/2.8 for sports and fast action. A faster memory enables me to click take several shots and dont have to wait for camera to write and wait. I still own my D100 and use it as backup. Even with D100 it almost shortened the wait time to half.
So far I am really plesed with the results and capacity. I definitely recomend it especially when you are doing fast action multiple shots for sports or your little 1 year old
Little suggestion though: Case you intend to shoot 8 GB worth of photographs then try to buy two 8 GB using as backup or atleast a combo of 8 &4 or minimal 4 & 4. Try not to give chance to luck.
Can't wait to see 16G :-)
WATCH OUT FOR THE FAKES! DUMB & DUMBER ON THE LOOSE [Posted on 2008-05-01]
Well, I've seen some dumb things before, but when Amazon allows an afiliate vendor to sell counterfeit ExtremeIV 8GB cards, now that is dumb. Especially, since the vendor was brand new to them (obviously not vetted). I bought the card from these guys just to see if it was going to be fake or not. And sure enough as soon as I got it I called SanDisk and what do you know, counterfeit as a 3 dollar bill. About the only thing that could be dumber is for SanDisk not to find a solution for this problem and lose many potential customers because of the uncertainty. BTW These are really convincing fakes, including the high quality retail packaging, the software included, even a little zipper pouch that says SanDisk on it. Maybe it will be best not to buy expensive SanDisk for some time to come.

Great CF card! Amazingly fast when combined with the Firewire reader! Maybe should have gone with 4 2GB cards but would have bought the same line. A must have for any good Digital camera!
BEWARE - My Card was a FAKE! [Posted on 2008-07-12]
BEWARE:
I bought a Sandisk Extreme IV from AMAZON and it would
not work properly and finally went dead completely.
I contacted Sandisk and they absolutely documented my card
as a FAKE, not an authentic Sandisk. I really expected
better than this from AMAZON! I guess I am stuck. Below
is the actual response from Sandisk.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for contacting Sandisk. We have received your email with photos. Unfortunately the photos show that the card is not an authentic Sandisk card.
Take card back to vendor and inform them of our decision.
Best regards,
Segundo

Lightning fast, High Performance [Posted on 2008-07-26]
It says it's fast, and it is. I haven't been able to get it to choke yet on my D200 shooting Continuous High.
I'll definitely get another one.
