Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Extreme HD Video 8 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRX3-8192-A21
Customer Review: Great price for the best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
After doing research on 8gb SDHC cards, I concluded that this one was rated the best overall, and I was delighted to find it at such a great price from a reputable vendor--unlike some who advertise low priced items only to try to 'bait' you into buying ridiculously over-priced 'accessories'. I have learned to ALWAYS do a web search on the vendor BEFORE ordering from them, regardless off their low prices...like typing in "Ratings on Acme Photo", then reading others' experience with them. Saving $5 or even $50 is not worth dealing with shady characters. A slick web site can be produced by a computer savvy adolescent, so you cannot go by that. You'd better check out their business practices before you give them your credit card number! This vendor proved to be A-OK...no calls with bullying sales pitches, no delays (trumped up 'back-orders' in obvious retaliation for not buying one of their scam items) and very fast service. The only minor flaw was that the packaging was poorly done, but a memory card is in a blister pkg so it wasn't damaged--so I give them 5 stars and would not hesitate to order from them again.Customer Review: Purchased for Use With New Canon T2i
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for use with my new Canon T2i. This fast card gives me much better performance when doing continuous shooting and video than did the Class 4 cards that I used with previous camera. I still have a number of those cards that can still be used for single shots, but anytime I contemplate continuous shooting or video I immediately change to a faster card.
With a fast card, Class 6 or Class 10, you get more shots in a burst and photo quality is better than with the Class 4. I found that out using the Class 4 cards before the faster cards arrived. Camera performance and quality also much better when shooting video, which manual said required at least a Class 6 card.
There are cheaper SDHC brands than SanDisk, but SanDisk has a reputation for high quality and I would prefer to pay a little more to help insure that at the end of a shooting day I have all my photos. Amazon seems to have the best price for these cards,
Customer Review: Must buy for the serious photographer
Summary: 5 Stars
For the professional photographer or the serious (obsessed) amateur this card is a must buy. You really can't beat the price/value ratio here. This is a fully certified Class 6 card which ensures a data read/write of 20MB/s (Class 6 is the fastest type in the SDHC profile). In fact I like these cards so much this is my second one, I have a 4GB of the same kind. If you use it with a point-and-shoot camera this will definitely be overkill but you can rest assured that it won't let you down. Great product by SanDisk.
Note: Most of us know this is a SDHC card not a regular SD. Regular SD cards are limited to 2GB, if you see a SD card that states a higher capacity be aware that it is essentially a "hack" and the card will not be reliable. I've read horror stories of entire projects gone down the drain because of those cards. 4GB and above will always have to be SDHC; therefore they will be capable of working ONLY with SDHC compatible devices.
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've waited for quite some time for this chip to come down in price! If you shoot much in raw mode then you need this! I originally bought the 2gb version of this when I bought my Pentax K10d 10megapixel. With the 2gb chip I didn't take too many photos in raw mode due to it only allowed a little over 100 shots. With the 8gb chip the camera shows room for almost 500 shots but that is not entirely accurate because not every shot is the max size of 16mb so you actually get more than what the camera says you will get. On top of all of this, this chip is the fastest I've been able to find that will keep up with the continuous shot feature. I usually get 8 or 9 shots without any delay before it slows down. My camera takes 3 hots per second so I get three seconds of fast action shooting. After a few seconds of saving all those I can start all over again. I use my 2gb for backup now just in case I fill the 8gb up. I have yet to need to use my backup chip!Customer Review: There is no substitute... SanDisk is simply the BEST!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have an SDHC compatible digital camera or camcorder and you like to take high resolution photos (5MP or higher) or High-Definition Video (720P/1080P), do yourself a big favor... buy this card! I recently bought the SanDisk 8GB Extreme III card for my Canon HF100 and Kodak Zi6 camcorders and I must say the performance is without equal! Salespeople will sometimes tell you that all memory cards are the same, but that is totally untrue. The "no-name" cards you find on some sites give spotty performance and mixed results. I've had HD video footage ruined by other brand "class 6" cards which fail to write fast enough to memory. The resulting footage is generally "jerky" when played back on your computer. Bottomline, I've used SanDisk products for years in my Sony PSP, Sony Clie PDA, and Nikon Coolpix 5000 and NEVER had a problem. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this card to anyone with an SDHC compatible electronic device.
