Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash is designed for serious professional photographers who demand one of the fastest, more rugged and more durable memory cards on the market. Professional photographers who work under less than ideal conditions expect more from a flash memory card. More speed. More performance. More reliability. SanDisk’s new Extreme III card delivers everything you want plus a whole lot more!
That’s because only SanDisk Extreme III memory cards feature innovative ESP Technology for one of the fastest speeds and higher performance. ESP stands for “Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing”. Simply put, it means you are getting one of the fastest read/write speeds available – speed you’ll definitely appreciate whenever you find yourself shooting and storing pictures in harsh environments, extreme temperatures or at high altitudes.
Every SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card comes with RescuePRO® so you can recover images, documents, mail, video, music – just about any digital file, with ease. Built with leading-edge media recovery algorithms, RescuePro lets you preview recoverable data before you try to retrieve it. With RescuePRO’s unique recovery algorithm for MPEG audio and MPEG video recovery (MPEG-1/2/3) what you see, and what you hear, is what you can recover.
Rely on SanDisk Extreme III cards when speed is critical to getting the right shot.

Simply put, this is the best card I've ever used. I have four of these and have used them in the past in a Canon 20D, now I use them in a 30D and 5D and the speed is exceptional.
In the 30D the write speed is amazing, depending on the conditions I can shoot up to the full 30 jpeg frames in one burst until the buffer is full, the speed at which the camera's buffer memory dumps the images to the card is phenomenal. Usually within a couple of seconds the buffer has dumped the jpeg images to the card and is ready to shoot again.
There are faster cards out there, and I've used different brands in the past but for me Sandisk's reliability is the clincher. In the last 3 years I've been using exclusively Sandisk cards I've never had any problems.
I shoot mostly motorsports, action and nature photography where the reliability of your gear can make or break a shot, and in my opinion Sandisk cards are the best there is and I wouldn't use anything else.

I think the key thing to consider with memory cards is their durability and their speed and it's just then a matter of deciding on size.
The Sandisk has both these qualities in copious amounts!
A 2gb card is hardly classed as large these days but it gives me something in the region of 200 RAW shots on a Canon 400D which is pretty good. Switch to highest quality Jpeg and you're talking about 500+ shots. Have you honestly taken more than 500 shots in one shoot? Me neither. And if you're taking shots on a sub 10 mega pixel camera you'll fit even more on the card! Still - I would love an 8gb card!
Speed is excellent; the extreme III cards are rated at 20mb/sec write speed. Dumping a full buffer from the 400D onto the card takes around 12 seconds - impressive stuff.
The card comes with a disk of image recovery software should your card ever fail and a little pouch that can hold 2 cards - very handy!
Great card!

I purchased this with my new eos 350D. The write speed is phenomenal, I estimate 7mb a sec, due to the speed of the write on the CF card, and the buffer being flushed so quickly to card, I can take upto 20+ consecutive shots, I only tried 20, I'm sure i could surpass that, if I continued.
I thoroughly reccommend this card more so than anyother, just alone on it performance and reliability, I have not lost one shot and i've taken thousands by now.
It is slightly dear, but if like me you use it on safari's etc, then there is no denying this is the only card to get, I reccommend 2* 2gb CF cards, as the 4gb Card is slightly slower in read/write obviously due to the higher capacity.

Space... Important
Got this card rather than a 4GB or Extreme 4 as it was cheaper by more than half so it made sense. I already have a 1GB card which has been fine for yrs now. Read more
