5.0 out of 5 stars Not all Extreme IIIs are the same, July 18, 2008

This review is from: SanDisk SDCFX3-004G-A31 4GB Extreme III CF Card (Personal Computers)

Note that this 4 GB Extreme III through Amazon, although having a "list" price about the same as those sold by Amazon's partners is somewhat more expensive than what the partners are selling it for

The partners are mostly selling the SDCFX3-4096-901 while Amazon is selling the SDCFX3-004G-A31. The latter is newer and writes 50% faster. That's why the sales price is more. Which one you should get depends on how fast your camera is and whether the speed is worth the extra cost to you.

I have purchased this CF card about a month ago and its simply amazing.
The read and write speed is a lot faster than my previous SimpleTech 1gb memory card. There's no slowdown or hiccup on my Canon EOS Rebel XTi when shooting continuously in RAW or JPEG. It's an excellent card for shooting at a sports event and I would recommend this card to anyone upgrading their old CF card.

Good balance between changing cards constantly & "putting all your eggs in one basket". Don't know what's happening internally but I'm expecting it is safe & secure because it is a Sandisk Extreme. In the documentation it's a side note, but for speed this is the 200x between the old 133x & the Extreme IV 300x.
