Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package)
Customer Review: Lots of space and very fast
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card because my 4GB Sandisk Ultra didn't have enough space for me. I shoot in RAW plus JPEG, so I need a lot of space for that. This card is perfect for my needs and holds plenty of RAW and JPEG shots. It's also very fast when transferring my files to the computer. It works great and I've always had good experiences with SanDisk.
Definitely recommended if you shoot in RAW and need a larger memory card. The more memory, the better.
Customer Review: Speed does matter
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Great storage but...
Summary: 4 Stars
... I have lost data a couple of times, but i was able to eventually recover the data using the software provided by SanDisk. It was usually from having the memory card out and probably because i was walking around with it in my hand not in a storage container. But half of the photos would disappear according to my computer, but would be perfectly visible on my D300 camera. It was just unusual. But I still use this card, I am just very careful with it!Customer Review: Monsterous Storage! GET ONE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very fast, very reliable and used in an olympus 8080 with thousands upons thousands of super fine resolution huge jpegs. I used it with a Nikon D200 with well over a 1,000 raw files and 4-5,000 jpegs on various fine settings. I recommend it and watch the pricing, I paid about $10 less than I currently see it listed, however, go to a local store and see it at triple the pice easily. If you use or want to give a gift for a photo person this is it!Customer Review: More pictures than you can ever need.
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this card because I shoot weddings as an assistant. Even on my highest quality setting it gives you so many pictures that you almost don't need a second card. It shoots over 1,000 images easily on my Canon 50D. I would highly recommend. It comes with a trial of their free recovery software but I haven't activated that so I cannot review it. If you needed this for a week vacation I would venture to say you wouldn't have to bring a second card.
