5 out of 5 stars Excellent CF card   November 11, 2008
Abdulrahman A. O. Alenezi
I have been using this card for over a month now it worked flawlessly. I recommend Sandisk because I have been using my Sandisk CF 2GB since Jan. 2005 I used it in my Minolta 7D and then in my Canon 400D and now in my Fostex FR-2LE Digital Sound Recorder it has been working fine ever since I used it without any data loss or malfunction.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   October 24, 2008

I shoot with a 5d and this card holds around a thousand shots. That's just awesome. I go out, I shoot for the whole day and don't have to change my card...I mean, what else could I want? I love it. Oh and it's about a 3rd the price of similar cards being sold in the mall.


5 out of 5 stars Great Card for the money   September 4, 2008
Ranty
This is a great card and more than fast enough for its age. I got it when it was about 6 months from release. There was an insane sale and I paid something like $170 for it, when it had been nearly $1,000 on release. Have used it a couple of years with no problems at all in a Canon 5D. Don't format it in the 5D unless your firmware is up to date, however, or it will be treated like an 8gig card until you get something to reformat it and reclaim the "lost" 8 gigs. There's a little hewlett packard formatting program out there on the interwebs that can do this. With neweest firmware, this won't be an issue.
