Good card for the MoneyApr 24, 2010 This is a card I us in my Monolta 7D, it has huge performance gains as compaired to the Sandisk III
it keeps up pretty well with action shots to about 10 to 12 shots before lag.
SanDiskFeb 06, 2010 I'm very pleased with the compactflash card, works excellent with my Sony Digital camera and it processes pictures quickly.
SanDisk, the failed frontierDec 31, 2009 Several years ago, I reviewed the SanDisk SDCFH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II CF card and noted as a company SanDisk used to produce products that were top quality, blazing fast, and backed them up with unparalleled customer service and as such their cards were well worth the SanDisk name tax. At the time of the 1 GB Ultra card, I also noted that no longer seemed to be the case, as of the three cards I had, all three of them failed within a short period of time.
It's been years since I've bought a SanDisk card and have instead been using Lexmar cards with my Canon 10D and have never suffered a failure or loss of data.
For Christmas I received a Canon 7D and figured in light of all the positive reviews and the many recommendations that recieved, I decided to give SanDisk a try again. After all its been a while, and admittedly, at the time I purchased the 1 GB cards they were the latest and greatest things on the market and I'm sure SanDisk had worked out any bugs in manufacturing, process and quality control, and customer service.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
A day and a half, 500 pictures later and the card failed.
Granted, it only cost me one picture (a massively under-exposed shot taken in the rain) but now the card won't format (errors out in camera as card being unusable and gives the following error under Windows 7 "7830794 bad sectors were encountered during the format. Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable."
The only thing more irritating than that was SanDisk's response to my customer service request. It basically consisted of "Oh, your card failed? Too bad. If it's under 30 days, please return it to the place of purchase. If it's not, then we'll see about placing a hold on your credit card and sending you a new one while you send us the failed one back. If we determine that the card failed due to something you did wrong or you fail to return the failed card then we'll charge your credit card for the MSRP + shipping + tax (if applicable)".
Compare that with my Lexar 4 GB Platinum II, which I've had for what feels like doggies years, and has not failed, and has lasted 750 pictures, five HD movies, and two days with my 7D. I fully expect that trend to continue and for this card to finish out the trip and provide me additional years of faithful service. Once I manage to return the Extreme IV, I will be ordering the Lexar Media Professional Series UDMA 4GB card.
Great performance from my DSLR!Sep 13, 2009 Maximum performance from my D300! This is my fourth SanDisk Extreme, not because the first three needed replacing...all are still working great, but at the speed my camera will shoot with the MB-D10 battery pack and the Extreme IV means I a can really fill up a card FAST!
A GREAT card!

Sets the StandardJan 19, 2009 I bought this card to go with with Nikon D700, my first camera to support UDMA. As other reviewers have noted, this card line is fast and reliable. In my own experience, I can see the D700 buffer flush faster that with older, slower cards. If your camera does not support UDMA, you'll be just as happy with the much less expensive Extreme III or older cards.
