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 slower. In a canon 5D they give me something like 230 shots, a canon 40D yields around 270. A full card takes around 20 mins to transfer all images. Good numbers.

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 4gb card for less than fifteen sheets.

So full marks for an all around great product yet again

Bought this 4Gb card in June 2008 to go with my Canon 400D on a European cruise thinking I would need more storage than my existing SanDisk Extreme cards (1 and 2 Gb) but the speed of the Ultra both on camera and transfer speed to computer (Mac) was light years ahead in terms of speed. I’ll sell the Extremes and upgrade to Ultra.

This has to be the industry standard memory card. Fast, stable and, in my experience, completely reliable. With the cost of memory so much lower these days it doesn’t pay to buy cheaper products than this.
