Product Description

From the Manufacturer

SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash is designed for serious professional photographers who demand one of the fastest, most rugged, and most durable memory cards on the market. Professional photographers who work under less than ideal conditions expect more from a flash memory card. More speed. More performance. More reliability. SanDisk's new Extreme III card delivers everything you want plus a whole lot more!

That's because only SanDisk Extreme III memory cards feature innovative ESP Technology for the fastest speeds and highest performance. ESP stands for "Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing". Simply put, it means you are getting the fastest read/write speeds available – an amazing minimum 20MB per second sequential read and write speed – speed you'll definitely appreciate whenever you find yourself shooting and storing pictures in harsh environments, extreme temperatures or at high altitudes.

Every SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card comes with RescuePRO so you can recover images, documents, mail, video, music – just about any digital file, with ease. Built with leading-edge media recovery algorithms, RescuePro lets you preview recoverable data before you try to retrieve it. With RescuePRO's unique recovery algorithm for MPEG audio and MPEG video recovery (MPEG-1/2/3) what you see, and what you hear, is what you can recover.

Rely on SanDisk Extreme III cards when speed is critical to getting the right shot.

Hard to beat a 12gb sandisk card for $124!! I have both Extreme III and IVs and, III is still totally fast enough, plus if you just need a big card for backup, this is a great choice. Extremely fast shipping for seller was a total bonus!

SanDisk is the best hands down. Their Extreme lines are even better if that's possible and as a working pro, I never use anything else.

A year ago, I forgot that I'd left one in my pants pocket. I then proceeded to wash and dry my pants with the card inside. I was mortified to find it after the fact and even more stunned that the card was fine and all the images inside were fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars SanDisk Doesn't Make a 12GB Extreme III, January 21, 2009

I made the mistake of purchasing one of these on eBay. The card turned out to be only 8GB which prompted calls to Canon and SanDisk support. It turned out that SanDisk doesn't even make a 12GB card and the serial number was phony also, according to their tech support.

Before purchasing one of these, call SanDisk and verify this for yourself at 1-866-SANDISK. Also, check out the eBay article about this issue. Do a web search for "eBay Guides - FAKE SanDisk Extreme Compact Flash Cards Exposed". You'll see lots of hits. Remember, fakes don't have any warranty. I hope this saves others from getting ripped off.
