SanDisk Extreme Pro 64 GB 160 MB/s CompactFlash Memory Card - Black/Gold/Red

I've used SanDisk for years now, thought it was time to upgrade my old 8Gb card to a 64Gb. If this one performs like my old 8Gb card I'd be very happy. My old card has been all over the place, Scotland, Wales and places in between. Even in my old camera that fell over into a waterfall and snapped the lens off. The card got soaked whilst on and not only did it carry on but retained the images already on the card. The write speed on the new card is noticeably faster but that's expected as the old card was only 60 Mb/sec. A good price for the size of the card, feels well built, as far as a card can be. We'll worth the money and thoroughly recommend SanDisk.

I have been umming and ahhing about buying this card for some time. Immediately you think " yes, I need more memory for my camera!" More is better, yes? Well, not always. There is always the temptation to buy the biggest you can. But, one thing anyone who uses memory cards for a while will tell you, if they go, they will always go at the most inopportune time. Sometimes its better to buy smaller cards and then transfer them to and from your Camera (I use mine in my Canon EOS 50D) so you in effect 'don't put all your eggs in one basket.'Now, that being said, this card is seriously fast and I can squeeze in more than 999 x 15mgb raw files and included Hi Rez Jpegs too. I can achieve a burst speed of 12 images a time before the camera has to pause to allow the card to write all that information. Even then, I only have to wait a second or so before I can 'machine gun' another set of images. Now, I am not in the habit of firing my camera around like machine gun :) but its nice to know I can, if I want to.I am going to be buying another one of these cards again very soon simply because at the price I bought it at, it was an absolute steal!

Works well in my older Canon 5D Mark 2 camera. Great for capturing photos at speed. Even better at holding RAW format files. Excellent card.

Had a Lexar card that failed in my camera. Fortunately my camera has a second card so I didn't lose anything, but I was on holiday when it failed and so very inconvenient. I replaced the Lexar with this card and am very pleased with it. It has the speed I need for my D810. I have 3 cards which I rotate and since I purchased this card I have taken about 16,000 RAW photos, each about 45mb so every card is well used and been re-formatted numerous times. All without any issues so I have to say I am completely satisfied with this card.My camera has an SD slot as well and for convenience I usually use those cards for copying off photos as my tablet has a built in SD reader but not a CF.

I had a few hiccups initially. I use a Canon 7D and was doing underwater photography after a long break away doing video. Since I wanted to shoot video if visibility was poor I revisited the camera set up & went for a higher capacity card capable of recording the high video frame rate smoothly. One day in I had an issue where the camera seized up & just said "busy" resulting in a frustrating hour without tiger shark shots. I updated my Canon firmware & it has subsequently been fine with a week of shots/footage. I'm still not sure if it was the camera firmware or the battery (flat when I opened the housing & I was on trigger-happy "continuous high"...). Either way update your firmware to be on the safe side & you should find this card more than adequate for many, many photographs and/or a decent length of high def footage. I have no USB3 (yet) so can't comment on transfer rates but it is sweetly smooth for video & continuous shooting when in-camera. Would assume firmware needs updates for that too. Well worth the investment.....

Came on time. Quality as expected of this brand

Excellent

I use these cards in my Nikon D800.Never let me down, used in conjunction with the Extreme Pro SD Cards in the same camera, they work tirelessly.Super fast transfer rates too, which is handy when transferring D800 NEF files at 45mb's each.A 16GB card holds 200 shots from a Nikon D800 at highest NEF size.
