5.0 out of 5 stars This SD card just works!, June 12, 2007

For anyone with a fast 10-megapixel camera that accepts high-capacity SDHC cards (check with your manufacturer!), this choice is a no-brainer! Nikon USA reassuringly has this specific card on their "approved" list for the D80 and other recent DSLR models.

Shooting in high-quality RAW format, capacity is now up to 326 images (or more), meaning less chance of running out of image storage -- usually at the worst possible moment -- when you're paying more attention to the scene before you rather than the image count-down indicator. And if you shoot in .jpg format, you now have a virtual warehouse for your images. The free USB reader is a bonus, allowing for quick, reliable image transfers to your hard drive, Mac or Win.

The downside? As of June, 2007, these cards are still relatively expensive and in scarce supply. But, based upon past SD card history, it should become a non-issue over the coming months. Still, if you want speed, reliability AND capacity for your new digital camera NOW, this card is worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 MB per second, no kidding!, October 19, 2007

This device does exactly what it claims and a bit more. Every other memory card I have benchmarked has been overrated, many shamelessly. Sandisk claims 20 MB/s and I measured 20.1 with HD tach, with a 20.2 burst rate! My digital pictures are 18 MB so I definitely need the speed and Sandisk Extreme III brings home the bacon. Well done!

I was having problems reading SDHC Cards on my SD readers, but no problem using my camera. So I scoured all the sites for a good deal on SDHC readers. I was dumbfounded about the inexpensive price that included the Extreme III cards. I have purchased two 2GB Extreme III cards that are great. I can take 3 shots/second with this card. Incredible stop action pics for tennis and football.

The card reader is smaller than my old one I loved, what a plus. It takes the SDHC without a hitch. It comes with a groovy holder that protects the reader and card. This one is definitely a photographer's friend.

I wholeheartedly recommend this combo and I would like to thank everyone that has written reviews on Amazon because I come here first.
