Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 2 GB SDSDX3-2048-901 Extreme III SD Memory Card (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Not Highly Impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the Extreme III SD Memory Card in the hopes of improving the speed at which my photos were saved on my Nikon Coolpix L11. In all honesty, though, I haven't noticed any difference between the speed when using this memory card and when I was using the Kingston SD Memory card that I had before.
I am an avid photographer and take hundreds of photos on a monthly basis. I probably won't ever be testing the extreme limits of this memory card, but at least I know that if there is a read/write issue - it's likely due to my camera and not the memory card.
Based upon the price I paid, I'd say the purchase was probably worth the money I spent. However, if I had paid full retail price, I'd be contemplating returning the card for a refund.
If you have a mid-level or less expensive camera, I'd say definitely make sure your issue is the memory card, not your camera before purchasing this if speed is your only reason for purchasing this high-end memory card.
Customer Review: Super fast SD card lets your equipment perform their best
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased my Casio Exilim EX-V8 8MP Digital Camera with 7x Anti-Shake Optical Zoom, I had a SD memory card from some other equipment. The EX-V8 is a video capable digital camera that I fully intended to carry instead of my camera and camcorder. My problem was that the SD card was so slow that I could only record about 21 seconds of video before the recording stopped and the card crept, trying to catch up. I did have it in ultra high quality wide screen, so I expected it. On a Christmas whim, I added the SanDisk Extreme III to my Christmas list. Now, I have the space to record 44 minutes, and the card can keep up. The video portion of the camera just got upgraded from a novelty to an asset. Prior to this I bought the cheapest cards I could find, now I know you should match the card to the expectations.Customer Review: Buyer Beware, Dissatisfied Customer
Summary: 1 Stars
I place an order through Amazon and when my shipment arrived I received two orders from Adorama. I contacted the company and they informed me to ship the 2nd item back (at my cost) and they would refund my credit card. Three weeks after I mailed the item I received my credit card bill that still reflected the charge. I contacted Adorama, they claim that they never received the shipment and I would need to deal with Amazon (very rude staff). I contacted Amazon and through their A to Z Guarantee and would investigate the issue. After a few days of investigation they denied my claim due to insufficient evidence of delivery, basically calling me a liar. I will never do business with Amazon or Adorama again and I would warn others of the poor customer service practice that these companies practice. I am a dissatisfied customer. Only reason they received "one star" rating is "no stars" was not an option.Customer Review: Love the "2g" EXTREME 111
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to be able to easily take pictures that looked great. So I wanted a card that was good quality and very reliable, AND FAST!. After many conversations with folks at the retail level, and some added research, this is the one for me. This extreme 111 is quick, reliable, and not too little, or not too much to look through as you get it filled up. I love it! I know there are now more g's available, but 2g is perfect for me. I can take 500 to 600 hundred pictures before its full. My son-in-law has a 4g card, we have the same camera, and when we turn them on at the same time, mine is instantly ready, he has to wait on his camera before its ready. Of course he also has more to "wade" though looking at his pictures. I like the convience of having several cards to use in various items, and with a reasonable amount of room on them. This 2g suits me better, and he says he's a little sorry he got the 4g.Customer Review: might be more than you need
Summary: 4 Stars
i'll cut to the chase. the sandisk extreme is comparable to the lexar professional series. both are recommended for professional sports shooters and maybe wedding photographers. for everyone else, it might be better to be ultra than extreme. i'll explain: unless your camera shoots at 5 fps or faster you don't need this -- the next-speediest sandisk card, the ultra II, is plenty fast for any dslr 3 fps or slower. the only place the extreme makes a real-world difference is in burst speed, which will vary depending on the size of your camera's buffer and, of course, your camera itself. oh, and the downloading speed from camera to computer via usb might be a bit quicker with this. other than that, it's a high-quality memory card from a reputable company. used to be more expensive but prices are falling fast, so for the price it's not a bad deal (although it wouldn't hurt to search other sites for deals).
