SanDisk SDCFH-1024-901 1 GB Ultra II CompactFlash Card (Retail Package)

I have owned a Canon 10D for about 3 yeas now and in that time have shot over 12,000 pictures at NASCAR Races, Railroad Photography, Other Sports and Waterfalls. I only used 1 Memory Card in that camera the entire time, the 1GB Sandisk Ultra II CompactFlash card. I have never once lost a photo, or had an error to write to the card. I do a lot of rugged hiking and my camera (while in the bag) has fell a few times and all the data was still there when I got home to put the pictures onto my computer. When I shoot Multiple Shots...it takes 9 to fill up my Camera Buffer...the thing doesn't hesitate to write. I can fire em all off, and then start shooting again seconds later with a completely clear buffer (they are decently fast cards). The card can hold roughly 400 High/Fine JPEG on the 10D (pending ISO and other settings). I am buying a 5D soon so will probably upgrade to a 2.0GB Sandisk Ultra II CF because when I travel I take loads of Photos. And 1GB won't hold quite that many at 12.8MP...and I may start shooting RAW too. I recommend Sandisk Ultra II CompactFlash cards over anything else. They are priced right, and work.

I have over 20 memory cards (CF, SD, xD, etc.) for PDAs, phones, digital cameras, etc. and this Sandisk 60x CF card is by far the fastest card I have ever used. I am using it for an 8MP Canon Digital Rebel XT SLR camera. Amazing little machine: I no longer have to wait for shots to get stored before moving to the next, it lets me take advantage of the continuous shoot mode (14 pics in 5 sec), I can now record high resolution video for up to 20 minutes in MPEG mode, and photo recall is almost instantaneous. The 2GB card is not as fast (slower interface) and much more expensive, so this card is the best compromise for speed, size, and value.Fyi - I tried the Lexar 80x cards but their Write Acceleration technology does not work for a lot of cameras (Canon, for example) and some PDAs (select HPs), rendering them average cards for most uses. Other reviewers cite websites where you can check compatibility and speed comparisons across all cards.

I gave it a chance because it should write faster than the base model, according to my research how it was tested with Canon DSLR. Used it about a year and now I bought one more, as I found it is true and economic (to my Canon setup).The price and performance is right to my setup and budget. Extreme III card should be more solid and steadier if you should look to (and a little faster).Heard Lexar ran well, or slightly better, with some camera brands but never try. Some no name brands could write faster and cheaper, but due to time I don't have to waste, many kinds of memory cards I now own are Sandisk, over the years, and haven't yet found problems. No hiccups. Not fun.

For a digital Rebel user...it provides ample large jpeg space. It is a fast card. I use Lexar X40 and this one is a touch faster it seems when i download it by card reader on USB 2.0 on desktop.I have never had any problems with this card yet. i've heard some horror stories....but i've been lucky with these cards. i have the 512K also. I'll be buying the 2 gig soon as my new 20D sucks memory up so fast in RAW mode...I do wedding photography as a part-time job (full time job as an investment firm owner)....yeah...weird combo :-)As with most memory...you usually get what you pay for. I can't have ANY card crapping out or going out of whack so I'm willing to pay the extra $ for the best card. So far...this and their Extreme model are pretty good, and affordable. I tried microdrives, but they're slower and they suck power...

While purchasing a digital SLR camera, I ordered a 1GB Sandisk memory card. I thought the read/write speeds were sufficient. During my daughter's wedding, I asked our professional photographer what he used. He said he had several of these Sandisk Ultra II, and that these cards were adequate for his job. I asked him if I should get the Sandisk Extreme cards. He replied that for the money, the Ultra II was much metter than the plain Sandisk cards but not much different than the Extreme cards, which cost quite a bit more.(...)I am pleased with both the price and results with my digital SLR camera. The writing speed from the camera to the card is quick and the reviewing speed from the card to the LCD of the camera is quick.The only problem I have is the time it takes to transfer all the pictures from the camera or card to the computer. It seems that the built-in card reader on my HP computer require a longer transfer process than what I anticipated. Otherwise, I am completely content.

I recently bought a Canon Digital Rebel. When considering memory I initially figured I'd stick with the brand I used with my PowerShot S30: Viking Components. But I wanted the best, knowing that my 6.3MP photos would take longer to be recorded.I looked at the Lexar 40x first. Lexar has a good reputation and "40x" sounds like a snappy number. For some reason, though, I liked the feedback about this [Sandisk Ultra] card more. So I bought this one and am very glad I did.Little publicized is the fact that the Sandisk Ultra II blazes along at 60x (9 Mb/s) write speed. That translates to being able to record one more whole image per second than the Lexar, and two or three images more than SimpleTech or Viking Components. (Each card reads at the same speed, I believe -- 10 Mb/s.)Worried about a trade-off in reliability? It's backed with a 5-year warranty. You can't go wrong with that, folks.

Great card (I have a Canon Powershot A80). Yes, just like any other card, you lose a little space when it gets formatted, BUT THE DARN THING COSTS AS MUCH (or little) AS MY 256 MB CARD THAT I GOT AT BEST B**. ouch. The only gripe is that the packaging can withstand a 12 story drop or a half-ton nuclear burst (whichever comes first) - so the card sneers at you standing there with scissors in your hand.
