Fast and large CF card
I upgraded from my 20MB/s 8GB card when I got my new Canon 7D camera. The new camera takes pictures approximately 30mb per image, at 6 pictures per second. This card does not lag unless I shoot dozens of pictures in a burst.
I take pictures at concerts and tend to take bursts of 2-6 pictures every few seconds (lighting changes fast and people move fast)...
Not as fast as advertised!

I take pictures at concerts and tend to take bursts of 2-6 pictures every few seconds (lighting changes fast and people move fast). This card works amazingly well with my camera, I highly recommend it.

Whether you're shooting a short video on your new DSLR or fashion with a medium format digital back, this card has you covered. It's fast and spacious so all you have to worry about is shooting and not changing cards. With a 21mp camera, you can expect about 1000 raw files.

I bought this for my new Canon 7D. It holds more than 1000 25 MB raw images at formatted capacity, and it has no problem keeping up with recording HD video. You can see the performance difference between it and the Ultra II cards I was using with my 20D, there is a notable difference in time emptying the buffer of the camera to the card. A big difference when you are shooting raw at 8 fps and need to wait before you can shoot the next round. When shooting large jpegs, I have yet to be able to fill the buffer to the point where the camera makes me wait.

I purchased this to use the 1080p HD video feature of the Canon EOS 5D MkII camera. This cards works great, and I'm able to long HD videos at full quality with none of the stuttering or missed frames I was seeing with slower cards.
Further, I am able to set the camera shooting mode to continuous and hold down the shutter with no problems. I've gotten up to 30 seconds at the 5D's 3.9fps with zero issues. This gives me awesome flexibility for shooting fast-paced events.
And obviously, the storage size on this card is simply huge. I love seeing my camera's display always saying "999" photos remaining (the largest number the 5D will show).
I would definitely purchase this again.

Short story: the card is superb. If you are thinking of buying it, don't hesitate. But, after you click "this review was helpful", do an amazon search. This card is listed twice on Amazon. The other listing is about [...] cheaper for the identical card. Search for this:
Long story: Capacity is just shy of 30GB due to overhead. It it is v e r y fast; your camera will be the bottleneck, not this card! I tested in in 2 cameras: a newer Canon and an older Canon 20D. To my surprise, the large capacity works well with older cameras! Used with new cameras, there's nothing to know other than it is fast and works as expected. Thus, the remainder of this review will be from the standpoint of the older Canon 20D.
I had been using an 4 year old Lexar Pro 8GB 133x WA (back then, fast and high tech & costly). The performance of the 20D has actually been greatly improved using this card. To the point, I would recommend upgrading to any brand of 400x card even if you don't need the storage. There are no negative surprises but a few caveats to know for large cards in older cameras...
If you use large cards in older cameras, follow one simple rule: If the card is over 8GB, do not format it in the camera. It will be reduced to an 8GB card. If you ignore this rule, go to download dot com and search for this app: HP disk storage format tool
Because... Neither the camera nor Windoze can restore the card (not explorer, not disk admin, not XP pro, and not win7 entprise 64bit). But, the free HP utility is perfect. Newer cameras can format past 8gb. PS: I used a [...] usb card reader from Amaz to format mine: The Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader.

When it comes to memory cards sandisk brand equates to reliability, quality and guarantee performance. This is expensive but as the saying goes " you get what you pay for ". Just like anything else in life you won't appreciate this until you lose your data from corrupted cheap cards. When reliability is of utmost importance I use sandisk!!!!

At the very most I can only give it 2 stars due to the 32GB capacity, which comes in handy for travel or landscape photos, where the speed is not important, but in fast action photography this card simply cannot keep up with my Nikon equipment in fact it is even slower than the Extreme III cards. So if you want a real fast CF one get the SanDisk Extreme Pro or Lexar Professional 600X instead.
