Sandisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Card-Class 10 (SDSDX3-008G-A31)

My old card was an 8GB class 6 card. I am using a Nikon D90. I bought this card so that I could shoot at 4.5fps for longer. It does make a difference, but not that much of one. Once the buffer on my camera fills up, my high speed shooting is over until the buffer can empty. Obviously this card helps the buffer empty faster, but it won't let me start shooting again until it is too late. If you are shooting at high speed because if you don't then you will lose your shot, then you will lose your shot your buffer fills up, even with this card.Most of this would probably change from camera to camera. The card is good, but I haven't done any benchmarks to see if it really lives up to what it claims.

Out of the Box:Retail box and inside packaging protects the card from bumps and bounces during shipment. Clam-shell and plastic case come out of the box with an insert for a free download for RescuePro software.First look:This is SanDisk Extreme. I have used SanDisk for over six years as a pro photographer. I have had not issues with these cards, ever. This card boasts of up to 30MB per second write time. That's fast enough for HD Video and 6 fps constant firing on your DSLR cameras (in RAW). The Class 10 classification is the highest you can get and well worth the extra cash outlay.Bottom line:I like SanDisk. It has never let me down. Nikon recommends this for their D7000. Get a good card, shoot, and be happy. Life is good, and so is the SanDisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Card. I will be purchasing another SDHC soon, and it will be another SanDisk.

I wanted the fastest SD card available for fast picture taking, and movies too on my new Nikon Coolpix 8200, so I went for a class 10 (30MB/s) Sandisk, 8GB card. It's exactly what I wanted, performs like I expected it to, and was (above all) the cheapest price around the web (for the Sandisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Card-Class 10, SDSDX3-008G-A31). I'm a happy camper on this one, for sure! Also, I had bought 2 of these exact same cards for my daughters' Nikon Coolpix 8100's that I had given them as gifts almost one year ago. At that time, I paid about $50 each for them (the class 10 Sandisk SD cards). This one for me was only $15.99, no tax, and no shipping (don't rememeber why no shipping cost). Unreal! The difference in price though (in just one year) was truly amazing for such a quality product.

Recently I purchased a Nikon D90 and I needed a memory card to go with it.I was a click away from getting the much cheaper Transcend card with the environmentally friendly packaging that Amazon has been pushing.But in the end I went with the Sandisk because it's what I use in my other digital cameras and I've never had a problem with them.Maybe the Transcend is just as good, I don't know. I certainly would have proffered the "green" wrapping.I do know that I've never had a problem yet with a Sandisk card. I stayed with a proven winner and so far I'm happy.

The card is definitely faster, about 25% faster than my 16GB Transcend class 6. But it's half the capacity at almost the same price. I use it in an Olympus E-PL1 camera, and it still only takes 9 shots on Fine+RAW before it slows down to 1 shot per second, which is no different than the Transcend. Except that the Transcend takes 40+ seconds to finish writing the 9 shots (18 files), and this card takes about 30 seconds. Worth it? That's a question for each consumer to answer for his/her self.Might be better off waiting for an SDXC card.

Over the years, I have become a loyal Sandisk consumer. I purchased this for my new Digital SLR and it has been perfect. Before purchasing this, I purchased an off brand Class 6 card for much cheaper. However, after doing a bit of research, I found that not all Class 6 are created equal. They both had 15 MB/s read speeds but the off brand had only 8 MB/s write speeds where the Sandisk have 15 MB/s read and write speeds. Since I have a newer Digital SLR with large RAW file sizes, I wanted to get the fastest card I could get so I upgraded to the Class 10. However, I have several Sandisk Class 6 cards as well and have always been happy. Sandisk has not failed me yet.

Although it doesn't always reach it's advertised speed of 30 MB/s it is still a very fast card. I had to update my reader because it did not access the full potential of the card. This card saves me about 15 minutes compared to previous cards transfer rates. It also allows for flawless 1080p HD video shooting. Wish I could figure out how to unleash it's full 30MB/s. I can only get it to write at 20 MB/s. According to SD Classification, Class 10 is supposedly 80MB/s write speed. SanDisk was a little over zealous with their classification for this card.

I highly recommend this card to anyone who is looking for fast, dependable, high quality storage media. I am really impressed with the value, it would have cost twice as much at places like best buy, which don't sell anything above a 6 speed card (At least in their stores). I think this ten speed card is a much bettter value than the inferior cards that all the major retailers seem to stock. I have owned many other brands of cards and can tell you that I always comeback to Sandisk. I don't think you will find a better card for this price.

I have had good experience with this brand so I will stick with it as it has never failed me yet.
