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.

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.
