 Fast, reliable card August 13, 2008
I used to have 3 2GB card and shooting concerts always ran out of space and would have to switch cards. In addition my buffer would get full and I would have to wait for the camera to write the images to the card. With this card I have never run out of space yet, and the write speed is fast so I don't have to miss shots due to full buffer. Given the price of these is getting cheaper by the day I would definitely recommend this card. Oh and as bonus it comes with a little card wallet. If nothing else you can use it to keep spare change :)
Great CF Card August 10, 2008
This card works great with my digital camera and allows me to take almost an endless amount of pics. Highly recommend.
Great capacity August 7, 2008
I recently purchased a Nikon D200 digital SLR camera and armed it with the SanDisk 8GB Cf card. It will hold approximately 1400 photos in full raw data mode and thousands in jpeg. This the only csrd I'll ever have to buy for this camera.
 Its huge and fast, although not so impressively fast July 21, 2008

I used this to take pictures of a wedding, the space was great and completely neccesary and the speed is great too. I never had to think about the card because it was doing its work so well. I used it on a rebel xti and the speed of the camera improved (of course) over a Ultra II San Disc card. After I used it on a 40D and worked like a charm. The thing is, although it is noticeably faster, Im not completely impressed with it. When I transfered the files to the computer I used a USB II port and the speed was around 10MB/sec not 30. Maybe Im wrong in some interpretation here... I dont know. Thats not so important, the important thing is that the card never limits one to take pictures becouse it cant save fast enough.
Bottom line, its great, it does it work well and as far as I know I recommend it.
Had some problems, but overall very pleased... July 19, 2008

Bought the 8gb Extreme III before going to a friend's wedding, as I had also just picked up a Canon 40D and wanted to give the camera's burst shooting a workout. All of the shots were captured quickly, I never had to wait for the camera/memory to "catch up" so I was generally pleased - until I got home...
Apparently it's not such a good idea to mess with the file structure outside of your camera. I popped the card into my computer's card reader and started to delete some blurry and duplicate shots I just didn't need. I then popped the card back into the camera to take some shots around my house and the camera read "card not formatted". At that point, I decided to pop the card back into the computer to see what the deal was. I almost had a heart-attack when I saw an empty folder where there had once been about 1300 JPG files. Luckily the story has a good ending... I used the RescuePRO software that came with the card and it found the files (even files that I had deleted manually from my camera during the wedding).
I would strongly recommend that you format your card upon first use and each time you swap between computer and camera (obviously, save the files to your computer before your re-format). After the RescuePRO memory recovery (took about 2 hours) and a fresh re-format, the card seems to work fine. I hope my incident helps current and new E-III buyers.
