Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Extreme HD Video 8 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRX3-8192-A21
Customer Review: Must buy for the serious photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
For the professional photographer or the serious (obsessed) amateur this card is a must buy. You really can't beat the price/value ratio here. This is a fully certified Class 6 card which ensures a data read/write of 20MB/s (Class 6 is the fastest type in the SDHC profile). In fact I like these cards so much this is my second one, I have a 4GB of the same kind. If you use it with a point-and-shoot camera this will definitely be overkill but you can rest assured that it won't let you down. Great product by SanDisk.
Note: Most of us know this is a SDHC card not a regular SD. Regular SD cards are limited to 2GB, if you see a SD card that states a higher capacity be aware that it is essentially a "hack" and the card will not be reliable. I've read horror stories of entire projects gone down the drain because of those cards. 4GB and above will always have to be SDHC; therefore they will be capable of working ONLY with SDHC compatible devices.
Customer Review: Awesome!

I've waited for quite some time for this chip to come down in price! If you shoot much in raw mode then you need this! I originally bought the 2gb version of this when I bought my Pentax K10d 10megapixel. With the 2gb chip I didn't take too many photos in raw mode due to it only allowed a little over 100 shots. With the 8gb chip the camera shows room for almost 500 shots but that is not entirely accurate because not every shot is the max size of 16mb so you actually get more than what the camera says you will get. On top of all of this, this chip is the fastest I've been able to find that will keep up with the continuous shot feature. I usually get 8 or 9 shots without any delay before it slows down. My camera takes 3 hots per second so I get three seconds of fast action shooting. After a few seconds of saving all those I can start all over again. I use my 2gb for backup now just in case I fill the 8gb up. I have yet to need to use my backup chip!Customer Review: There is no substitute... SanDisk is simply the BEST!

If you have an SDHC compatible digital camera or camcorder and you like to take high resolution photos (5MP or higher) or High-Definition Video (720P/1080P), do yourself a big favor... buy this card! I recently bought the SanDisk 8GB Extreme III card for my Canon HF100 and Kodak Zi6 camcorders and I must say the performance is without equal! Salespeople will sometimes tell you that all memory cards are the same, but that is totally untrue. The "no-name" cards you find on some sites give spotty performance and mixed results. I've had HD video footage ruined by other brand "class 6" cards which fail to write fast enough to memory. The resulting footage is generally "jerky" when played back on your computer. Bottomline, I've used SanDisk products for years in my Sony PSP, Sony Clie PDA, and Nikon Coolpix 5000 and NEVER had a problem. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this card to anyone with an SDHC compatible electronic device.Customer Review: Best I've owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned a few SanDisks over my photography years & none of them have failed me.
Received this (December 2009), bought a Patriot 16G class 6 (February 2010) when I started shooting in RAW format.
The Patriot just corrupted today, switched back to this card, & ordered a second a few minutes ago.
Bought this again because even if Patriot replaces my 16G, I'll probably only use it for video & stick with SanDisk for photos. I can't afford the time to reschedule an entire shoot if I ever lost 16Gs worth of images.
I shoot at 15.1mp, 3.4fps and recommend class 6 cards as a minimum for similarly capable cameras. 0 lag write time & infinite burst shots in JPEG, bursts of 9 & ~7 Seconds lag writing time in RAW.
Customer Review: 5 stars all the way

Let's see, what are the cons for this 8gb memory card...absolutely NON! I use this card with my canon rebel xsi and it seems to be overkill for my needs, I shoot in the large (no RAW) picture setting on my camera and the card can hold a little over 1800 pictures and is incredibly fast. In fact, I haven't needed to empty it out yet since I bought it about a month ago, and I've taken a lot of pictures since then. All in all, a great buy plus it came with a card-reader, case, and warranty. The only thing is that these things can be pricey, however the prices tend to drop dramatically once a higher capacity card comes out, this can be a good and bad thing depending on when you buy, but this is typical with this type of product. 5 stars all the way.
