I bought the 4GB CF version for use with my Nikon D300. This is the fatsest UDMA card there is, hands down. I compared it in the field with the latest Lexar Professional 333x UDMA, Delkin 300x UDMA and the new Transcend UDMA cards and the lead the Ducati card kept was perceptible. I was shooting continuous with 14-bit RAW format and it kept pace, no problem whatsoever, and no write-lags.

Having said that, I may wish to remind you before investing so much money on such a card, make sure you camera supports UDMA cards to take advantage of the speed. If your camera is of the older types then you can settle for a much cheaper slower card, no need to mint your money if your camera cannot utilize the high transfer rate offered by these UDMA cards.

Using this with my Canon 40D, and it's excellent! Haven't managed to max it out even at the highest JPGs on a recent 10 day vacation. Super fast when combined with Sandisk's Extreme reader.

Sandisk 8GB CF Ducati Edition is one the most reliable, fast, and secure memory cards that I've ever used... Even with RAW images in Burst mode, the card takes less than 2 seconds to save the data...

I highly recommend this card for any photographer (pro & amateur)...
