Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Good solid product and works as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
I use it on a Canon 40D. This gives me around 580 photos per 8GB RAW format. The writing is fast considering the 6.5fps from 40D. After the 17 RAW continuous shots, I need to wait for 3-5 seconds for all the data to be recorded.
I am happy with the purchase and recommend it.
Given 4 stars as I have taken max 1000 shots and yet to put it to real stress. The lag of 3-5 seconds after continuous shooting also is a downer but this is not a very regular scenario and hence I am satisfied with the purchase.
Customer Review: SanDisk 8GB Extreme III
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently, purchased this card for my Nikon D300. Previously, I was using a few SanDisk 4GB cards. I've used SanDisk for years and have never had any issues.
The SanDisk 8GB Extreme III works great with the D300 or D2x and write times have not slowed down any of my action shooting. Shooting at 8fps though, the card can feel up quite fast. I shoot RAW uncompressed and get about 409 pics with the 8GB card. I'm now using the 16GB Extreme III and it provides me with plenty of space for my type of shooting.
Customer Review: have one that is great and one that is defective...

I have one Scandisk 8g extreme iii that is great- I shoot RAW on my nikon d300 and it's super fast and loads very quickly onto my mac. HOWEVER, I have another one that just stopped working. It is un-readable by my camera and my computer. Fortunately I got all the images off of it. I contacted scanisk and they're sending me a new one, though it will take a while, so I am still going to have to get another one to use since I shoot weddings. Kind of annoyed. Oh well, here's to hoping my other one holds up!Customer Review: Everyone needs a couple

Two or three of theses are a must when traveling....fast and high capacity. Best card I've ever owned. When I travel/vacation, I take about two to three thousand pictures a week. One of these cards will take care of the better part of two or three days worth. And because of its speed, I never miss a shot. Can get the 5-6 frames per second with my Nikon D300. This card, and the Nikon of course, are integral parts of my bird watching trips, or trips to Disneyland with the grandkids, etc.Customer Review: Watch Out for Fakes: Buy Through Reptable Stores
Summary: 1 Stars
The rating has nothing to do with the product quality. I bought this card from an individual versus one of the main stores. Make sure you can find the serial number on the CF card when you open it. If you cannot find one, guess what? You got a fake. Some cheap card with the Extreme sticker on it. Other things to look for: Was there a hologram on the box? Was the plastic casing sealed shut or were you able to pull it open with no effort? But definitely look for the serial number!
