I purchased this card for my 12mp Nikon D300 and have been very pleased with its performance. It has plenty of speed for when I really let the shutter loose, and that's mostly what I was looking for when I purchased it. This may not be one of Sandisk's new Extreme cards, but for all practical purposes, including weddings and light sports use, this card fits the bill at a good price. Definitely recommended.

The box stores no longer carry these SanDiscs, because it doesn't benefit them. So I, again, turned to Amazon and sure enough they had the flash cards at a great price. The seller on Amazon was extremely rude in one regard. They charge a good deal for delivery. The box is only 3.4x4" and a couple of ounces. I bought five cards so they bundled it all into one little box and charged me five times the price for delivery. This is rude and junk corporate crap that I would think retailers would begin to change. How abusive. And it puts me into the position of "do I want to deal with not using and repackaging the item, taking to the delivery service for a return, checking my card to make sure they credited me then going back on Amazon and buying the same product from another merchant. Amazon and their sellers have to put together an internal policy to stop this garbage. The consumer has been abused enough. I believe I called or emailed the merchant and they offered to split the delivery cost in half ... another slap in the face ... how about charging one delivery cost for a total of 10 or 12 ounces. Again, the consumer is sick and tired of being abused by you merchants.

I've got a number of Sandisk cards going all the way back to 32 meg capacity and also including a couple of these 8 gig cards. I've never had a problem with any of them. I shoot a 24.6 meg full frame camera exclusively in RAW yielding about 36 meg per image file. I used to use 80X cards but ran into problems with filling the camera memory buffer when shooting continuous mode but the trade to these 200x cards cured that for my purposes. I do admit that it is fairly rare that I would shoot more than 10 images continuous. Just ran a quick test, shooting RAW in continuous mode, my camera shot 17 images at aprox 36 meg per before filling the buffer. After the completion of the last image, it took the camera 15 seconds to clear the buffer and be ready to shoot again. I know there are now 600X and faster cards but, personally, the far greater expense isn't worth it to me; these cards are the "sweet spot" in bang vs buck. There are applications where some will find some large advantage to paying 6-8 times as much per gig of storage as these Sandisk cards cost. Maybe if you do sports photography.

Again, in my fairly extensive experience, there is no issue with reliability with (genuine) Sandisk CF cards.

Test camera is a Sony A850 BTW.
