SanDisk Ultra CompactFlash 4GB Memory Card – 30MB/sec – Retail Pack
Reliable, capable, speedy,
Sandisk cards are superb little pieces of technology. I use them exclusively, I think I have around 10 of various capacities and speeds.
These are the largest I own. They are very, very good value for money. I’m used to using the 2GB Extreme III cards and these are noticeably slower (slower being a relative term) when downloading images from the card onto my computer. However, it would be a bit stupid to mark it down for that as I knew they were going to be a bit slower. In a canon 5D they give me something like 430 shots, a canon 40D yields around 480 & a canon 7d around 280 (Full sized Raw + small fine jpegs).
I remember (eeeeh, when I were a lad!), not that long ago really when even a 1GB card like this cost hundreds of pounds. Now you can pick up a 8gb card for around fifteen sheets.
So full marks for an all around great product yet again

|A Great Card,
Having used and owned Ultra 2 and Extreme 3 cards I feel I can give a decent comparison of the two. The Ultra 2 card, quality wise is exactly the same as the Extreme 3. There is a speed difference in writing data in which the Extreme 3 wins hands down, but unless your camera utilises hyperspeed writing, this difference is wasted. I highly recommend this card to everyone as it’s cheap and very reliable, 2GB of space is enough for most and for value for money this card excels.

|Increased Speed,
Bought this to replace a 1Gb Microdrive so I could shoot RAW files with my Fujifilm S9600. Thought that speed difference would be negligible as I presumed it was limited by the camera, however when it comes to reviewing shots (i.e. Read speed) scrolling is almost instantaneous, compared to a highly noticeable delay with the old card.
