 Make sure you get the 2008 version of this card!!! August 7, 2008

SanDisk has pulled a fast one on us who are accustomed to the Extreme III & IV series. They've updated the Extreme III series with a new "2008" spec model. Yeah, so what... Well, the 2008 spec Extreme III 16GB CF card is almost twice as fast as the original "20x" Extreme III 16GB CF card in my Nikon D3. In fact, the 2008 16GB model is just marginally slower than my Extreme IV 8GB card in my D3. This speed increase makes a big difference for me when shooting motorsports in RAW mode and hyperactive children. Even crazier still, as of this review, Amazon is selling the 2008 spec Extreme III 16GB card for ~$15 less than this much slower model.
Do yourself a favor before buying one of these cards and see how it will perform in your camera first... google for "Rob Galbraith CF performance database" and look up your camera. Buy intelligently!
 Excellent card for the Nikon D700 August 6, 2008
I was concerned about my new 12mp Nikon D700 because of my experience with the D100. Back then the biggest card you could get for a reasonable price was a 1gig microdrive. When I saw this card, I debated between getting it or 2 8gig ones, but it turns out that the 16Gig one is cheaper.
As for performance, I have been very very pleased. The write-time is excellent for the RAW (NEF)files as well as TIFFs, as for how long, all I can say is that by the time I take the camera away from my face to see if the card-access light is off, it usually is, so it is probably measured in seconds if not fractions of a second.
I also experimented with having the camera take Raw pictures with jpg backups at the same time (a very cool feature on the D700) and again found the write-speed to be excellent.
As for the capacity on the card, at RAW setting, I get just above 800 shots for the card! In Tiff settings this bumps down to 500 or so (about the same as the RAW + Jpg dual setting). If you just take the large quality Jpgs, the number of shots jumps to 2.2k... kinda of overkill, but really when you think of going out on a vacation and trying to travel light, this pretty much guarantees that you won't have to worry about downloading the pictures until you get home.
All in all, it is an excellent product. I would recommend this over other brands as my experience with Sandisk has been excellent over the years and have never had any sort of memory loss.

Speedy with my Nikon d300 and nothing holds more. worth every penny especially when shooting at the highest res. no lag time whatsoever although that does depend on your camera.

Why can't every product be like a SANDISK?? Fast error free and not expensive... Buy this card - especially if you use RAW or do a lot of bracket work...

This is a compact flash the can handle everything you throw at it. I use it in a Cannon EOS MarkII DS1 that is a full frame 16.1 mega pixel that shoots very fast. This card was a great investment it has no problem handling the speed. If you need a compact flash with some very serious space...you have found it.
