No complaint for this high quality CF card. Very satisfied. In the past, I used Kingston 4GB 133X but I was unable to do full-HD video due to the speed (mycamera can process HD-video for only about 5 secs then stop due to the fact – it cannot write the data in buffer memory to the CF card). That’s the reason for me to purchase this expensive and speedy CF Card.
Build quality of this card is high, very solid with strong & good feeling on hand. Transfer rate was exceptional if i transfer directly from camera to PCs via USB 2.0 cable (around 15-20Mb/sec). I don’t have a “fast enough” CF card reader to work with this CF Card but i will try to find one(that’s why currently i do direct transfer between camera & PCs. It will save you a lot of minutes). For 16Gb of data of image, it will take me approx 33 minutes for the old Kingston 133x CF Card to transfer to the PC – while this one takes about 3-4 minutes.
I had been using SanDisk Extreme III (30 MB/s) in my Nikon digital SLR, and while they were reliable and so on, I was never able to get the full high speed frame rate Nikon promises. Instead of the 5-7 frames per second, I was getting more like 2-3.
Switching to the 60MB/s fixed that problem, and now I’m getting the full performance my camera is capable of…at least 5 fps under most conditions.
Interestingly, I also purchased a smaller card capable of 90MB/s, and saw no real difference, so I’m considering the 60MB/s version ideal – nice, since it’s much less expensive than the faster cards.
Recommended if you need the best frame rate out of your camera.
Very fast card and Sandisk has always been reliable. This card is the fastest card that I have owned yet. I have had a regular card, an extreme II, and also an extreme III. I needed this card for the high speed burst shots from a 18 megapixel raw camera. Highly recommended. Just make sure you shop for the best deal as they range in price quite a bit and usually are the same thing.
