Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sandisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Card-Class 10 (SDSDX3-008G-A31)
Customer Review: Quality, Fast Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years, I have become a loyal Sandisk consumer. I purchased this for my new Digital SLR and it has been perfect. Before purchasing this, I purchased an off brand Class 6 card for much cheaper. However, after doing a bit of research, I found that not all Class 6 are created equal. They both had 15 MB/s read speeds but the off brand had only 8 MB/s write speeds where the Sandisk have 15 MB/s read and write speeds. Since I have a newer Digital SLR with large RAW file sizes, I wanted to get the fastest card I could get so I upgraded to the Class 10. However, I have several Sandisk Class 6 cards as well and have always been happy. Sandisk has not failed me yet.Customer Review: If only my memory was this dependable.
Summary: 4 Stars
Recently I purchased a Nikon D90 and I needed a memory card to go with it.
I was a click away from getting the much cheaper Transcend card with the environmentally friendly packaging that Amazon has been pushing.
But in the end I went with the Sandisk because it's what I use in my other digital cameras and I've never had a problem with them.
Maybe the Transcend is just as good, I don't know. I certainly would have proffered the "green" wrapping.
I do know that I've never had a problem yet with a Sandisk card. I stayed with a proven winner and so far I'm happy.
Customer Review: BEWARE - NOT AN EXTREME III CARD AND DOES NOT WRITE AT 30 MB/S
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT ORDER, this is mis-advertised on the Amazon site. I just received this card, and even though Amazon advertises it as the Extreme III card in the description, it is actually an earlier version Extreme card from SanDisk. I put the card in my Canon Vixia HF200 video camera, and the camera claims the card can only write at a max of 12 mb/s, despite the claim on Amazon and on the SanDisk packaging that it can read at 30 mb/s!!! I have a 4 GB Extreme III card, which the Canon can write to at 24 mb/s, so I know the problem is with the card, not the camera.Customer Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Although it doesn't always reach it's advertised speed of 30 MB/s it is still a very fast card. I had to update my reader because it did not access the full potential of the card. This card saves me about 15 minutes compared to previous cards transfer rates. It also allows for flawless 1080p HD video shooting. Wish I could figure out how to unleash it's full 30MB/s. I can only get it to write at 20 MB/s. According to SD Classification, Class 10 is supposedly 80MB/s write speed. SanDisk was a little over zealous with their classification for this card.Customer Review: Faster, but over priced
Summary: 4 Stars
The card is definitely faster, about 25% faster than my 16GB Transcend class 6. But it's half the capacity at almost the same price. I use it in an Olympus E-PL1 camera, and it still only takes 9 shots on Fine+RAW before it slows down to 1 shot per second, which is no different than the Transcend. Except that the Transcend takes 40+ seconds to finish writing the 9 shots (18 files), and this card takes about 30 seconds. Worth it? That's a question for each consumer to answer for his/her self.
Might be better off waiting for an SDXC card.
