Sandisk's 12GB Extreme III Delivers Top Notch...

Strengths: Extremely Fast (20MB/s) | Enormous Capacity (12GB) | Durable | Lifetime Warranty

Weakness: None

Although somewhat higher in price than other cards of similar capacity, this card brings with it the quality name of Sandisk, so you know your card is going to work when you need it to. If for some reason the card does however mysteriously die on you, it is backed by a lifetime warranty. This card features an enormous capacity of 12GB – 3 DVDs of pictures on a card not much larger than a few...

Fast and reliable

Strengths: Large capacity, reliable

Weakness: none

Nothing to complain about Sandisk extreme III. Fast, reliable, never let you down. 12GB of capacity would cover an 1-3 day trip without any trouble. I could shoot RAW+jpg without worry about the capacity.

Sandisk 12GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card

Strengths: - Large capacity - Fast speed - High reliability

Weakness: - High price

I ordered this card to use with a portable ebook (iRex Iliad). I have over 7GB of electronic documents, and I needed a large capacity memory card. Before this card, I used an older CF card (Sandisk 2GB). I found this card is significantly faster than the old one. Like other Sandisk products, the quality of this card is outstanding. I am yet to experience any technical issue from this card. The...

excellent speed, good size

Strengths: good quality

Weakness: slight higher price

I bought this card for my 5d camera. the speed and quality are excellent. I don't need to change the card even when I go on an extended trip. With the rebate, it well worths every penny. I do recommend this to my friends!

Sandisk 12GB Extreme III Review....

Strengths: Fast Big size Sandisk quality

Weakness: Slightly higher price than other large size cards

Got this card for my Canon Digital Rebel XT. Works as good as any other card Ive tried, but its definitely faster (good test is to go to speedshot mode and count how many shots you can get before the camera makes you wait, and count how long it takes to write the shots to the card). Also noticeably faster than a "cheapie" card when pulling pics off from a card reader.

Massive Size / Massive Speed

Strengths: Fastest card on the market/largest card on the market

Weakness: Price

Hey, you get what you pay for. With 10MP cameras these days, those puny small cards can fill up quickly - and slow cards will cause you to lose pictures Not true here, Massive 12GB card. Fast write speed so that you capture all your shots. From a quality manufacturer who stands behind their products The downside? Price. But you do get what you pay for

Great Value!

Strengths: Great deal after $60 rebate. HUGE capacity, 1000 shots RAW + JPEG on my 20D.

Weakness: None so far.

Card works great, I compared the speed on my 20D to my 4GB Lexar Pro and the continuous mode yielded the number of shots. 12GB should be plenty for even my most trigger happy trips so I'm looking forward to going out and filling the card!

Huge capacity, amazing speed, great purchase

Strengths: A huge 12GB of storage, Fast read/write speeds, big temperature range, price, SanDisk warranty

Weakness: Absolutely none.

I purchased this 12GB along with a 8GB for my new Canon 40D camera. It performs great. Because of its speed and size, I can shoot huge burst shots without worrying how much space I have. The operating temperature range is very wide and comforting. Lifetime warranty from SanDisk ensures I don't get left out in the cold with a noname brand. It even comes with recovery software incase anythign...
