 Perfectly paired with my Nikon D90 Apr 05, 2009
By Rick V
"Bargain hunter by day, shopaholic at night"
Background you can skip
I purchased a new DSLR, an upgrade from my trusted Nikon D50: the D90.
I wanted to get the fastest and most suited 8GB card to accompany my shoots and needed something that would keep up with the Nikon's 30MB/s capability.
After wandering the web for the best card I found the following information: "the cards offer a 50 percent speed boost from 20MB/s cards, and the Nikon D90 is the industry's first dSLR to take advantage of the speed.
That means that with the 30MB/s Extreme III, the D90 can record 39 6MB JPEG images at 4.5 frames per second in continuous shooting mode. Getting them off is almost as fast, too, when used with SanDisk's new ImageMate Multi-Card USB 2.0 reader/writer."
Note that some reviewers on here gave the card a bad rating because of lack of speed. However, it is his own equipment that is the bottle neck so that is not the best of sources to judge on.
This card is fast fast fast in my D90 and I have since purchased a spare one.
In short:
PROS
- LEADING EDGE IN SPEED
- PERFECTLY COUPLED WITH NIKON D90
CONS
- EXPENSIVE
CONCLUSION:
For the serious prosumer this is a must have for your D90 or other capable camera.

fast card worth the extra$$ Apr 06, 2009
By 30 year pro
"30 year pro"
I had an "older" version that was not 30mb speed and i was sceptical about the claim of extra speed, but wow a big difference.
when shooting camera is ready for next shot and the big deal is when you upload to your computer, now there is where i really noticed the speed and cost difference. uploads like a snap.
good card for the price on amazon and of course very fast delivery with amazon.

 BEWARE - NOT AN EXTREME III CARD AND DOES NOT WRITE AT 30 MB/S Nov 17, 2009
By BVIKE
DO NOT ORDER, this is mis-advertised on the Amazon site. I just received this card, and even though Amazon advertises it as the Extreme III card in the description, it is actually an earlier version Extreme card from SanDisk. I put the card in my Canon Vixia HF200 video camera, and the camera claims the card can only write at a max of 12 mb/s, despite the claim on Amazon and on the SanDisk packaging that it can read at 30 mb/s!!! I have a 4 GB Extreme III card, which the Canon can write to at 24 mb/s, so I know the problem is with the card, not the camera.

Wrong Product, DO NOT ORDER FROM ''MemoryMogul'' Aug 02, 2011
By Drew
A friend has the same card and it works great. I decided I wanted one so I bought one from ''MemoryMogul''. When the packaged arrived the product was Incorrect. Seller ''MemoryMogul'' put a sticker with the model (SDSDX3-008G-A31) over the real product (SDSDX3-008G-X46). The difference between the two is that the A31 is for camera's and the X46 is for Camcorders. I contacted Sandisk to see if it could be used in my camera and they told me yes, but since the X46 is designed for Camcorders(UHS-1)it would only write at 20MB/s in a camera.
In the end I called amazon and received a full refund. Anyways, DONT BUY FROM ''MemoryMogul''

 Nice specs, but small difference. Jan 26, 2009
By K. Jones
My old card was an 8GB class 6 card. I am using a Nikon D90. I bought this card so that I could shoot at 4.5fps for longer. It does make a difference, but not that much of one. Once the buffer on my camera fills up, my high speed shooting is over until the buffer can empty. Obviously this card helps the buffer empty faster, but it won't let me start shooting again until it is too late. If you are shooting at high speed because if you don't then you will lose your shot, then you will lose your shot your buffer fills up, even with this card.
Most of this would probably change from camera to camera. The card is good, but I haven't done any benchmarks to see if it really lives up to what it claims.
