WARNING: Do not buy a card off this listing if your equipment will not recognise a Class 10 card, like the Canon HF200 Camcorder. However the LUMIX FZ30 does recognise them. Check the documentation of your equipment first.
When this card arrived this morning I was expecting a Sandisk Extreme III 30MB/s card, as was/and still is advertised which was specifically what I wanted for my HD Camcorder, though I can use the 20MB/s card in the camera the 'access' LED indicates use all the time, it does not with a 30MB/s card.
When I opened the envelope I was presented with a Sandisk Extreme card, but not an Extreme III, I was also dismayed to see that although it was indeed 8GB and a Class 6, it was a 20MB/s card, totally not what I ordered.
I contacted and have since had a response from the seller.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
It seems that Sandisk have now renamed all the old Extreme III cards to Extreme HD Video cards - furthermore the old class 6 30GB/s speed cards are now class 10 cards, they now make the current Class 6 cards just 20MB/s instead of 30MB/s.
This information is important as if you intend to buy one of the cards on this listing what you will actually receive is a CLASS 10 - 8GB Sandisk SDHC Card which does indeed have a write speed of 30MB/s. That is why the price seems so high for the card that is actually listed.
The Card Itself is fine, like I stated earlier the access light works a lot but I have yet to see a glitch in anything I have filmed so obviously the card is working just fine.

Bought it for a Canon 450D SLR. No different in write speed to a class 2 or 4. Maybe a hardware limitation with the 450D. Writing to it from a PC, however, is fine (fast).
So, if you're buying it for a camera, beware - you may not get the speed you're hoping for.
Having said that, the 450D has a memory buffer that takes the first half a dozen photos (CR2 raw) before hitting the SD card bottleneck, anyway, no matter how slow your card is!
To be honest, you'd be better off buying a normal class 6 SDHC card - for this price, you can get a 32Gb one! (Not that there's any point, even with full CR2 raw plus JPG simultaneous shooting - you'd still get thousands of shots on a card that size!
On the plus side, you don't have to wait for ages to read off 8Gb of data, when you plug it into a PC (like you would with a normal class 6 SDHC, and of course, it's a SanDisk, rather than a dodgy unbranded make you've never heard of, so over all, I'm happy enough with it - just not as happy as I thought I'd be - a shame Canon don't cater for cards like this with their EOS hardware!

Amazon Verified Purchase
Easy to instal, no compatibility issues with my Fuji digital camera. It holds 2000+ photos (depending on the quality setting selected)or a significant length of reasonable quality filming, plus an impressively fast download time. Does exactly what it claims on the tin and well worth the price.

Ideal option for video recording on DSLRs
I use this card with my Canon 550D to shoot 1980p HD video. So far there have been no buffer problems or dropouts. Class 6 is the minimum recommended speed in the 550d manual.

Genuine item - price seems to have gone up tho
Fast, and appears to be the genuine article. Worth it for not having to mess with swopping cards and knowing for most purposes the card stays safe in your camera. Read more
