Product Description

SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash is designed exclusively for the high-end, professional photographers who work under extreme conditions and expect the very best in products and support services.

Fast and reliable. (Myxa, 2008-08-17)

I only had it for about a week, and so far it's been fast and reliable, the only thing I wish it was a bit cheaper.

F-a-s-t card - great with my Oly E-500 (Middle age tech freak, Auburn, CA United States, 2008-08-17)

The Olympus E-500 is known for being able to write to CF cards very fast. This card - as advertised - is very fast. I chose this card specifically because of the camera's ability to write fast and my desire to use RAW format - which on this camera is about 13mb per picture. While I don't use it for sports or drive mode, it easily keeps up with multiple shots in a row. The 4gb capacity also helps with so many big files! It's the perfect card for this camera.

Great performer (I. Farago, Croatia, 2008-08-15)

I use it for both, file storage and dSLR camera medium. It's fast and so far reliable (6 months). I give it 4 stars instead of 5 just beacuse I think the price difference between this one and Ultra II is not justified.
So Ultra II is great, Extreme III is better, but not that much.

Great Compact Flash (S. Smet, NW Chicago suberbs, 2008-08-09)

This Product is great. I used it on my vacation out west. Didn't have any problems. Held nearly one thousand pictures w/ room to add more! It's also fast.

Excellent (I. Andosoglu, San Diego, CA, 2008-08-08)

This card is definitely fast, allowing my Sony Alpha 300 to burst up to 11 frames before slowing down at all. Seek times, and format times are unreal compared to previous experience.

I've experienced no problems with it thus far, and highly recommend it.
