SanDisk Extreme III 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRX3-8192-A21

I'm a professional photographer and started buying only SanDisk memory cards years ago. They are extremely reliable and as fast as rated. I have never been let down by one. This SDHC card was for my pocket camera, and I use their CF cards in my professional cameras. Extreme III's & IV's are worth every penny.

Bought a new Canon camera for a vacation and needed a spare card. I've seen some reviews on amazon of fakes or counterfeit camera cards but this one appears to be the real deal. It works great, has all the memory as advertised and it arrived quickly as promised. Would buy more if needed.

I use this card with a Lumix G2 camera, and works pretty faultless. The only complaint I make is that it isn't fast enought to keep frame rates when shooting raw, But I think a class 10 card should be better for this.

This card was recommended as being one of the fastest ones I could buy (at a reasonable price). But my new Canon EOS Rebel T2i cannot save data fast enough to take HD video at 1080p. It is still excellent for photos, reliable and quite fast for those purposes. I can take about 7 shots in rapid succession at 18 mp without hesitation from the card.

The model number on the order was SDSRX3-8192-A21. The model number shipped was SDSRX3-8192-E21. This indicates it was packaged for the European market (directions are provided in 12 languages). At this point I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the card, however I've read that there might be some performance issues in the future. I guess the lesson is Buyer Beware.
