Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDCFX3-008G-A31 8GB Extreme III CF Card
Customer Review: Excellent Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used several brands of memory cards but I always come back to SanDisk. They seem to offer the best balance of speed, quality and price. This was especially true of this purchace because of the extremely low price it was offer for. There is a newer Extreme IV card available that is some faster than the Extreme III but that extra speed might not benefit everyone. I used my new card in my Canon 40D digital SLR to photograph a drifting event at a race track and took over 1500 pictures in 2 days without any need for a faster card. Some may need a larger or a faster card but at this price I can see no reason for anyone to buy a smaller or slower card and you can't go wrong with SanDisk. I have probably owned 20 SanDisk cards over the past few years and I have never had one fail me. I would highly recomend this product and I got it on Amazon for less than half of what it sells for most places.Customer Review: Use in Nikon D200
Summary: 5 Stars
Sandisk Extreme III compact flash cards (at 30 mbs) are simply the best for use in the Nikon D200. Even in full continuous shooting mode, these cards keep up without a problem.
As another reviewer stated, be sure the cards you get are the 30mb per second transfer rate versus the old 20mb per second. The 10mb per second can make a difference when shooting in Nikon Raw at full blast.
I have always purchased SanDisk compact flash cards and never had a problem. However, I am hearing that an issue with fake SanDisk cards is developing and some have even reported possible, yet unconfirmed, issues with third-party provider on Amazon. To date, I do not think and allegation has been substantiated. Just be aware of this developing problem and steer clear of non-reputable online merchants.
I bought the cards at $41.00 on Amazon.
Customer Review: Update: Speed is "card reader" dependent iti is now a 5 star item
Summary: 1 Stars
I had a Sandisk Extreme II SD card that was working at 19 to 21 mb/sec on Vista's Readyboost for my slow laptop drive.
I figured the highly rated CF Extreme III rated a 30 mb/sec would be a REAL boost.
NOT! I plugged it in and it runs at 4.5 mb/sec ... an extreme slowdown at a high price.
Unfortunately, this was the only use I have for a CF card. All of my other appliances, phones, GPS and camera require either SD or XD memory!!
A Sandisk Extreme CF card reader brought the speed up close to spec ... 25mb/sec vs 30 mb/sec.
Customer Review: This is a great card.
Summary: 5 Stars
You simply don't need a faster card inless you are shooting 9+ frames a second, all day every day.
I've shot at 8 Frames with my D700, with no problems.
I bought two of these about a month ago, with no problems what so ever. Well built, fast, easy to use. What more can you ask for?
The only 'slight' problem I've had was actually with amazon not the card, they told me it'd be here on whatever day it was and it showed up late. No problem could have just been UPS?
Customer Review: a fantastic camera chip
Summary: 5 Stars
Using this SanDisk Ultra III *Gb compaq chip gives me more leverage as I take all of my photos in a Raw form which limit's me to less pictures but on the other hand I love the results of the pictures in the Raw.
All of my SanDisk cards are 4 GB up tp 16GB From Ultra III to Ultra IV to the Extreme Ducati Edition
I give Sandisk a ten plus
