I purchased 3 of these over the 2008 xmas season during their Visa giftcard promotion. I buy 3 and they send me a $70 Visa giftcard, which would theoretically make each card come out to ~$15. Quite a reasonable price for a quality name brand like Sandisk, but I still havent received my Visa giftcard and it’s already 2/2009!
But I digress. Yes, these cards are great. I haven’t had any issues yet and the space is more than what I need. I have been using them in my point & shoot Pansonic Lumix DMC-FX07 and my DSLR Canon XSI.. So why the 2 stars??? Well, their advertised speed of 30MB/sec is just hype! I just tested out their read/write speed using a Sandisk ImageMate reader and I can only pull out 14MB/sec write and 20MB/sec read. So where’s the rest of my 30?!

Extreme III is fast… 8GB holds lots of pictures even when taking RAW + JPEG

I got 3 from E-Bay, so happy with it’s read/write spped.
I can shoot with my Nikon DSLR much faster than before.
Even insert it into a card reader, it copys pictures
with mazing performance.

Fast, works really well in a Nikon D90. Downloads from the camera are quick as well. Able to keep up with shooting quickly. Also works well for recording video.

Be careful when purchasing cheaper SD cards for a Digital SLR. Having purchased the new Canon Rebel T1 to replace my XT, I thought I could get away with a Transend card. However, the size of the image files when taking a burst of photos would bog the camera down preventing me from taking other shots. The Write Speed was just way too slow… enter the Sandisk Extreme III. All I can say is wow, the card is fast, very fast and I was able to shoot over 170 pictures of may daughter golfing yesterday with 0 delays.
