Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Extremely reliable!
Summary: 4 Stars
As a wedding photographer, I cannot afford the possibility of a memory card suffering a catastrophic failure. I've used several other brands of cards (not in a commercial sense thankfully) that have failed me. From flat out not being recognized, to images being captures with a 1/4 of the image missing! These were from other "big name" companies. I have never had an issue with a Sandisk card.
Transfer times are exceptionally quick, just not through your camera. I didn't think much of an hour for downloading all of the images initially until I got a firewire 800 card reader Sandisk Extreme FireWire Reader. My image downloads for that same amount of data takes no more than 5-10 minutes! I literally shaved hours off of my workflow from that one improvement!
I had to give the product four stars though as they include what is allegedly great rescue software. Although for those of us with slot loading optical drives (macs), the included mini-disk cannot be used!
Customer Review: Fast and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive owned various sizes of this card, and for years, Ive never had a single problem with them. They are fast, reliable, and work perfectly in My Nikon D700.
This is one of the best cards, if not the best card out there right now.
Customer Review: Damaged Camera
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Compact Flash Unit. I have used four other lower capacity units made by the same manufacturer in my Canon Rebel XT. When I put this unit in I received an error message. Subsequently, I had to have my camera repaired at a cost $154.72 . San Disk replaced the Flash Unit but has refused to reimburse me for my cost to repair the camera. I am extremely disappointed. Customer Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a great camera card and is well worth the money for the storage. Customer Review: A must for action photography
Summary: 5 Stars
Extreme III is the best memory card out there for action photography. 8.0 GB is a good size card to have, but I would not go any larger. Get better buys when shopping on amazon.com than in big electronic shops.
