Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk Extreme III 4 GB CompactFlash Memory Card SDCFX3-004G-A31
Customer Review: Very good quality and fast speed
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my Canon 40D and it works excellent. I have had good use out of all my CF cards - never had one fail yet, but the speed is a huge factor as I found out the hard way. I had the Canon 300D (Rebel) and thought that I was limited to it's 3 shot per second firing rate, where I took 3 shots in quick succession and had to wait until finished catching up. Of course while it had it's mouth full and I was waiting for it to chew and swallow, I would inevitably lose a number of other good shots that appeared unexpectedly. Frustrating for sure, but then I got an Ultra 2 CF card for the same camera and was amazed at how much of a difference it made. You will be happy with this product even with an older model camera. For the price it is well worth it.Customer Review: ScanDisk SDCFX3-004G 4 GB Extreme III Compact Flash
Summary: 5 Stars
It's difficult to review this storage device after only a couple weeks, but at this point the write and read speed seems to perform in the manner ScanDisk indicated. I am completely satisified with longivity to be determined. I utilize this compact flash in my Olympus E-520 with picture setting at LSF (Large Super Fine). At this setting the 4 GB compact flash will provide around 550 pictures. More than I will personally take at any given time. The write time is not a factor in taking pictures nor is the download time required to transfer them to my computer. The average picture size is 6/7 MB, but this card transfers at 30 MB/S. As Usual, Amazon and its parteners did a great job of getting me my product in better than usual time and in great condition.Customer Review: No regrets!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this card because I was going on vacation and wouldn't be able to drop the pictures down to my computer for a few days. The first thing I noticed was the fact that it holds more pictures than my Digital Rebel XTi can register. The counter showed 999 for the first 150+ pictures.
The card is super fast. If you need to take a lot of pictures in succession with speed being important, you can't go wrong with this card.
In the past, I purchased a Kingston CompactFlash Card and it died after a short period of time. I switched to SanDisk and I'm on my 4th card (for 3 cameras) with no trouble from any of them.
I could not be happier! I would give it more stars if I could. Buy with confidence.
Customer Review: Large, fast, low power consumption, excellent brand and price.
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say that hasn't already? Perhaps I should mention that in the small print on the package this is a 133X speed compact flash. I've been using this in my new Canon 30D and have been getting excellent battery life and excellent performance. If I want to I can snap at the camera's maximun shooting rate for up to 1 minute which is about 200 pictures.
Transfer is equally fast. I can transfer many large pictures to my laptop using a SanDisk Imagemate USB2.0 CF reader in just seconds.
It's been reliable thus far but I've only been using it for a few weeks.
Nothing to complain about, it's just an amazing value for the price. Buy it now with no regrets!
Customer Review: Best yet, no complaints, extremely fast write time
Summary: 5 Stars
I am using this with my Canon Rebel XTi. I previously used a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB. I used to have trouble snapping a bunch of pics in a row. My camera would display "busy". I asked a local camera shop and the woman recommend an Extreme III card. I purchased this 4GB Extreme III card and it made all the difference. I can take endless shots in a row as fast as I can possibly take them and it never stops or displays busy. I now know for certain that it was my old card and not my camera. The price is right and makes taking pictures so much easier and enjoyable. I gave it 5 stars because I have no complaints. If you want extremely fast write times, I highly recommend getting this card.
