Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk ULTRA SDHC 8GB Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDSDRH-008G-A11
Customer Review: Great card but lousy reader!
Summary: 3 Stars
My new Canon G10 uses the new SDHC cards as well as the older SD cards, so in October 2008 I purchased 2 of these cards (8 GB Ultra II SanDisk) with the readers from Amazon. The cards arrived without any readers. I purchased 2 "SanDisk Micromate Reader for SD and SDHC memory cards" from Amazon separately.
When I put the cards into the readers and put the readers into my computer USB port I got a message "This is not a high speed device" and a warning that it would only transfer data at USB 1.0 speed, about 20 minutes for the 20 or so photos on the card. I also got no recognition of the reader&card in the USB ports on the front of my computer, only the ones in the back.
I tried the SanDisk website, no help. I googled and learned that a computer virus could cause my Dell with all USB 2.0 ports to not recognize devices plugged in, so I scanned for viruses. None found. Google also said that drivers could be a problem so I checked the Dell site, no help.
After days of problems and no successes I decided to try another brand and bought a "Blue Proton" SDHC USB2.0 reader which works perfectly! In every one of the USB ports on my Dell!
The SanDisk Ultra II 8 GB cards work perfectly in my G10 but the SanDisk readers are junk and I feel stupid for spending days trying to get them to work. All my Compact Flash and SD and SDHC memory cards and all my card readers are from SanDisk and all have worked perfectly until this. I think I will try a different brand next time.
Customer Review: A great speedy card
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this SanDisk card along with a new Canon Digital Rebel XSi. I wanted a high capacity card since 12 megapixel RAW files take up a lot of space. I also bought an 8GB Transcend card as a backup, and I have a feeling a lot of people are looking at that card as well.
Many probably wonder why this card costs so much more, and the answer is speed. The XSi is not a fast camera by dSLR standards, but I can tell a noticeable difference between the write speed of this and the Transcend card. I like to shoot in auto-exposure bracket mode for HDR photography, and this card clears the buffer quicker in case I need to shoot multiple shots. Other than that, I can't tell too much of a difference. I haven't had either card long enough to fail, so I can't comment on that. If you're willing to spend a few more bucks, I think the write speed of this card is well worth the cost.
Customer Review: Forgot it was in the Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
A thing like a memory card should work so well it's invisible. It's a little like a support person at a corporation who maintains things so well she or he never gets a raise because management doesn't see what good they do since everything works so well.
Well, that's the case with the 8 Gig card. It just works and works fast in my Ricoh GX100.
When the request from Amazon for a review of this product appeared in email I had to check the camera to see which card I was using. Sure enough, it is the new 8 Gig card. Works great.
The card reader works perfectly as well which is important since the card is a SDHC card and cannot be read by a standard SD reader.
I actually upload photos in the camera using the camera and a cable, so I don't use the reader very much, but the card in the camera gives me no problems.
Customer Review: works great with my Nikon

SanDisk Ultra II 8GB SDHC Card
I am using this with my 12mp Nikon D90. I have a SDHC card reader, but I just plug in my camera to the computer to transfer images.
The D90 doesn't tell the exact number of images it holds, with large, fine quality jpgs it says 1.1k, so around 1100 images. With raw files it says 538. Raw plus large, fine Jpgs, 361 images.
To write this review I followed the link from the item in my Amazon order history, so I know this is the item I ordered. It did not come with a card reader like the photo shows and some of the reviews mention. Sometimes Amazon puts similar items reviews together, that may be why some people are talking about the card reader. I don't care about the card reader cause I already have one, but I just wanted to point out that there was no card reader with this card.
Customer Review: the standard now in the industry
Summary: 5 Stars
I use these by the truckload for photography, and this one is now the standard, even though you can now get the SanDisk Ultra II 16 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRH-016G-A11 reasonably, in fact for prices which a quarter sized would have cost a year ago.
My latest camera is a great 10 megapixel fuji smaller than a pack of raleighs and which has already produced pictures for publication, and she happily accepted this sd disk without a cough.
Great product; great price, and if people do not like it only because of the reader that came with it (hey, where's mine?) get a better reader separately. I did.
THis is now the standard. Nothing better. Works reliably. Try one. Glad I did.
