Customer Reviews

SanDisk Extreme III's are Excellent
I have several SanDisk Extreme III compact flash cards: 2Gig and 4Gig cards. I've never had a problem with any of them, and they are fast, not only to write to (if you have a camera that can write a lot in a burst, as I do, both a Canon 30D and a Canon 40D) but it's also really fast to copy your pictures off of these cards to a PC, especially if your PC's reader can process them quickly! On my 30D and 40D cameras, I save both the large JPG and the RAW files to the SanDisk cards, and I can shoot in the mode that will take many per second, and these cards have always been able to keep up with the cameras. I will only use these. I have shot in temperatures from 110 degrees F and in places below -10 degrees F with these cards, and I have never a problem with the cards.

You have to be careful, though, as once I bought one of these from an online auction place, for a price that was too good to be true, and it turned out to look like a real one, but it was a knock off. It was not as fast as the real thing (it didn't have a serial number on it, but other than the missing serial number, it looked real). So, buyer beware. I returned it to the seller who was on the other side of the world from me. Cards sold directly from Amazon have never been a problem for me - I buy cameras and camera components all the time from Amazon, and have always been happy with each purchase.

One Happy Customer!
Today I attended a birthday party and took about a hundred pictures - I could have taken almost 4,000 with my new SanDisk SDCFX3-004G-A31 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card. Taken with a Canon Power Shot S419 (not a high end camera by any measure), I had 100% super fine shots. The product and provider get an A+ rating.

excellent CF card at great price
this memory card is a great performer: fast, secure, durable, and came at a great price from adorama via amazon. and an honest, reasonable shipping charge, to boot!
