Customer Review: Great Card: Overkill For Casual Users
Summary: 5 Stars
Someone else said it well in a previous review: this might be more than you need. Unless you are a sports photographer or normally shoot tons of photos in continuous mode, the 2 GB Extreme III actually has more speed than you need. The 2 GB Ultra II card SanDisk SDSDH-2048-901 2 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card (Retail Package) has plenty of speed for most photographers (about 98% of the shooters out there). I own both, and they both work well.
That said, the 2 GB Extreme III is extremely fast in my D40; 20-25 large/normal JPEG shots in continuous mode write to this card almost instantaneously, with perhaps a 0.5 second lag at the end. RAW or RAW + JPEG continuous shots would write a tad slower, but still amazing. Read/transfer speeds are similarly swift.
SanDisk memory cards are very reliable, and well-priced. You can't go wrong with this product, you might just want to order the Ultra II to save a few bucks. You could also make due with the 1GB Ultra II card SanDisk SDSDH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card (Retail Package) if you are a casual shooter with a 4-6 megapixel camera. Whatever you get, make sure you have at least two of them, so you won't run out of memory and have a back-up in case of failure.
Almost forgot to mention: the Extreme III card retail package comes with the latest version of Sandisk's "RescuePRO File Recovery Utility" (v3.2) on a mini CD, plus a small memory card carrying pouch. Nice extras, included in the price.
[UPDATE 8/26/07: Just checked the prices on both cards. With a one-dollar 34-cents difference, you might as well get the Extreme III. Right now Amazon has the best price out there...]
