 Fast and compatible January 6, 2009

The SanDisk 8 GB Extreme IV CompactFlash Card allows my camera to actualize it's full speed potential and is 100% compatiable with my camera, card reader, and all software. There are no hang-ups, glitches, or other annoying behaviors I've experienced with other cards.

SanDisk upgraded the Extreme IV cards to 45mbps per second about 2 years ago. J&R must have a bunch of old cards they never moved, so they're dumping them on you, the unsuspecting customer. You can buy new Extreme IV 8GB cards with 45mbs write speed for more than ten dollars less from elsewhere on Amazon (just search on SanDisk Extreme IV - Flash memory card - 8 GB - CompactFlash and you'll find it).
I live in New York so I have tried to deal with J&R in the past. They have lied to my face to try to trick me into buying whatever item they happen to have in stock. Avoid them!
my main card December 24, 2008

Its read/write speed is noticeably faster than my 4gb Ultra II, not as noticeable compared with the 4gb extreme III. Having the massive card makes live easier, 15mb raws comes out to about 500 pics on this card. I rarely shoot more than that in a day.
I purchased this card thinking it will out last my days using the D200, and hopefully its read/write speed limits will be put to work on my next generation camera.
So far I've not had use for the sandisk recovery software that comes with these higher grade type cards on the card. However messing with it a few times on a damaged CD was a pain in the arse, and leaves a lot to be desired as far as software goes.
Make sure you have a UDMA camera November 26, 2008

First off...make sure you have a UDMA compliant camera or you will be spending extra money that won't offer any benefit. If you're camrea doesn't supprt UDMA, don't come back here and whine that it's slow. In fact it may cause problems but from what I've read those are few and far between.
Secondly, the Extreme IV is actually rated at 45MB/s now (UDMA). If you order a card and it's not 45MB/s, send it back as it's old stock.
As for the performance of the card, it's a perfect match for my 50D. I use a number of them while shooting sporting events and they keep up just fine with the 6.3 FPS the 50D can do. Never had one fail on me even in less than perfect conditions.
If you have a UDMA compliant camera, give this card a shot. If you don't have a UDMA compliant camera, go for the Exteme III.

I am very happy with this card. It has the speed and has the space to hold the raw pictures that I seem to be taking more and more.
