Mr. P. Riley
Need a quality device on which to store (or whats the point in taking a good picture)? Digital cameras need all the help they can get or they eat batteries - fast memory helps cut down time and therefore power, so if you just want to take the camera and LOTS OF PICS QUICKLY and STILL HAVE BATTERY POWER REMAINING - EASY and now they're CHEEP !
 Very tough, but not that fast .... March 9, 2008

OK, I'm going to risk the wrath of all those that have gone before:
I recently bought this card to replace a 1GB Corsair X133 speed SD memory card - that card was noticeably quicker than this SanDisk card!
Unfortunately, and this is where the SanDisk really wins, I cannot compare the two because the Corsair was so flimsy that it fell apart.
The SanDisk is definitely more sturdy, compared to the Corsair model that I had it is like comparing paper to heavy card. The corsair de-laminated, the front came away from the back, the small lock slide switch on the side fell off, and from that point on it was unusable.
However, it is still worth noting that this SanDisk Extreme may not be the fastest available, in my humble opinion. I often used my camera in continuous shooting mode for sports photography, not professional, just boys' rugby. I can tell that the SanDisk is slower. The camera takes slightly longer to write every image to the card than it did with the Corsair X133. I even notice this difference when taking a series of single snaps.
So, although it is great that this card is rugged, next time I buy one I will be doing a little more research into the performance.
I have a drawer full of superceded cards; 16,32,64,128 & 256MB cards. No doubt in six to twelve months time I will replace this 1GB card with a 2GB card for less than £10. My point being that I don't need them to last forever, but I will lament the slight loss in performance edge between this card and my previous one.
Why buy a standard card? January 22, 2008

I use these cards in camcorders, camera's, PC's and even recording radio programmes from my Pure DAB radio. I've never had a problem with anything I've used them in.

I've had more memory cards (mainly SD) in the last couple of years than some people have had hot meals. I tend to either loose them (leaving one on a bus, one in a pub and more than a few that just seem to vanish into thin air) or more commonly they get damaged (I dropped one in a chest freezer and didn't find it till the next day, I've put one through the washing machine, and one even went up the hoover which manged somehow to break it open.) But even if I'm not responsible for their destruction, memory cards just seem to fail on me at an alarmling rate. So needless to say that if memory cards were living pets I would most likely have a life long ban from owning any. Now to the point. I recently upgraded to a new SLR digital camera (I won't go into details of how great it is) but I quickly found that I needed far better SD cards than the slow, slugish and small ones that I already had. I had used normal SanDisk memory cards in the past and found them to be generally ok, so I decided to purchase a pair of SanDisk SD 1Gb Extreme III cards to see how I got on with them. And now after using them for nearly a month, I think the cards are great little things. Included in the price you get recovery software (which I've tried and found to be excellent) and a carrying case with each card. Performance wise they are the best I've ever seen, and their running rings around my other SD cards in terms of transfer speeds, loading times, and rapid shot mode. I can also shot in RAW format instead on JPEG which is something I can't do with my older SD cards. They also are very heavy duty and both are still in perfecty working order. I went to Iceland a few weeks back and despite the cold the cards still preformed ideally (unlike my camera battery.) So yes, in conclusion I am very happy with the cards and if they work for me like they have then they should suit you just fine.
