I bought the Lexar 8 GB UDMA card to use in a Canon 5D Mark II, which writes very large (20MB) files when you shoot in RAW mode (which I do). The place where I see an advantage is in downloading these large files to my computer.

Mated to a UDMA card reader, the card transfers about 72 files a minute or a bit better than one per second. My old SanDisk Extreme III card in a non-UDMA-enabled reader takes about 3-4 times longer. And of course if you have a camera that writes large files, 8GB gives you some headroom when you're out taking large number of photos -- it can take about 240 RAW images on my camera.

There's also an advantage to a high speed card like this if you shoot continuously with this type of camera, since files will be written more quickly with a fast card. If you have a UDMA-enabled camera and shoot often in continuous mode, this may be a worthwhile purchase for you. If you have a need for lots of capacity with any camera and you have or buy a UDMA-enabled card reader, this card will speed up file transfer very significantly. In my experience Lexar makes very reliable cards that do not have compatibility issues with major brands of digital SLRs.

Hardcore Card August 29, 2009
Here's my story --

At the end of a shoot it began to pour down raining, so I ran to my car and drove home. When I got home, I realized I lost my Lexar 8GB card and the only place it could be was somewhere in the park where the shoot was held. The next morning I went to the park to look for it. Fortunately, I was able to find it in the parking lot. It had been raining pretty hard all night and I was afraid that the water had damaged the card and I would have lost over 400 photos. Needless to say that the card was unharmed and I'm still using the Lexar as my primary card today.

From now on, the only cards I buy will be Lexar Professional.

Fast for now June 11, 2008
This card is so fast and so well suited to the Sony Alpha 700, that I set the camera to shoot JPEGs at high speed and use it to make movies!
If you buy from Amazon affiliate Adorama (B&H too) in 2008 and by a certain date, there is an $[...] rebate on this card.
Being a "pro" card simply means it is fast and more durable.
If you never ever shoot sports or animals, get the 8GB 133x CF on sale or if they have a rebate on that, and save some money.
