Lots of fast memory with a CD along with........2007-06-10

This has worked very well in my Canon Rebel XT. I have not noticed a change in speed moving from the hard-disk 2 GB card but I always wondered when the hard drive would fail. I now use this as my first memory card and am happy with it.

Extreme Fast.......2007-06-10

Extreme III is super fast. It is a must have item. Good product.

Great Card!.......2007-06-01

I have owned other SanDisk cards before, but not this particular one. My first test drive of this card was at a relative's wedding. I wanted the best quality so I put my Canon 10D in Large Format mode and started snapping away. About 20 minutes later I decided to check the top window of my camera to see how many more pictures I could take. It read "999" so I snapped away some more, checked it again about 10 minutes later and it still read "999". I thought there was something wrong until I started looking at the pictures I had already taken and realized from the Canon's numbering capabilities that I was on picture 144 out of 4000+ pictures!

I love the way this card sucks the image off the CMOS plane. I didn't time it, but am convinced that it is pulling down these large format images faster than my old 1Gb SanDisk card did for medium format.

I haven't tested the "extreme" aspects of the card, and hope I never have to. But I'm convinced it can handle whatever they say it can in terms of temperature variations.

So far great!.......2007-05-15

Records the camera data much quicker than the standard SanDisk which I already owned.

A GREAT card, but might be overkill........2007-05-07

I gave this card five stars because it deserves it. It is fast, able to take extreme conditions, and probably less susceptible to corruption than cheap cards. However, a fast card may be of little to no benefit in the real world. After all, your camera can only write to the card so fast. This is why the Extreme III is of little to no benefit compared to the Ultra II in a Rebel XT/XTi. And if you use a card that is faster than the camera, you are likely spending more money than you have to. Unless you need the ability to withstand extreme conditions, the Extreme III is just overkill.

On the other hand, you can read data from the Extreme III faster than the Ultra II. So you will be able to download your images more quickly with the Extreme III. But you have to ask yourself whether the time savings justify the higher price.
