Top positive review

Solid performance from a trusted brand

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023

Simply stated, I won't use any other brand of CF cards in my cameras.

I'm sure some of the no-name cards have similar specs for a lower price, but I need to know for sure that my photos are reliably saved when I hit that button. I just want to focus on taking photos without thinking about the reliability or speed of my memory card.

SanDisk has been the leader in memory cards since the early days of digital photography, so I know I can trust them.

This particular card is an upgrade for me from an older, smaller, slower SanDisk card for my Canon 5D Mark II. I generally don't need that much space for taking stills, but when I shoot in RAW format, I've used as much as 50GB in a single event. The faster speed means I can shoot more shots in a row without waiting for the card to finish saving.

It depends on why you want it

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023

The need was to capture stills while shooting video on a Canon D7 Mark II. This card was touted as having the shortest interruption of video, but still left an unacceptable gap in the recording. For exclusive stills or video - it’s fine, but not if you need to execute both.

Fast CF card. If your camera has both CF and SD card, make sure to use CF as it is WAY faster

I was having an issue with my Digital SLR camera, when I was rapidly shooting a bunch of photos at once, some of them were getting corrupted. Turns out as my camera can use both CF and SD, CF is MUCH faster. All CF cards are not the same. I did my research, and this on was reported to be the best once for my Canon 5D Mark III. I no longer get any corrupted image files when I am shooting in burst mode. Transfers to my laptop from the memory card are much faster too.

Whatever took me so damn long to get this? I don't know.

I needed to upgrade and have an extra CF card apart from my lonely 32 GB. It served me well then and having this since more than a year now, I have zero complains. 1st of all, the space!! I mean, I can shoot and shoot and still have space left over!

Totally buying another one coz...tried & tested!
Equipment money very well spent!

Extremely reliable, but order more than one

Bought 4 cards to use with Magic Lantern on 5D MK 3 for RAW video recording. 1 Card out of four couldn't be read or formatted, but the 3 others worked flawlessly with writing speeds near 101 mb/s and continuous shooting. The same thing happened to me 2 years ago with the 60mb/s ones, where one of the two couldn't be used. Luckily Amazon's return policy allowed me to return the faulty cards. These cards are a bit more expensive than the Lexar ones, but my experience with the Lexar cards is bad: I bought 2 cards and returned both as they both stopped working after one day of heave raw shooting. I used Sandisc for years now and these cards have prooved to be reliable to me. I would recommend buying more than one since I had two experiences with unusable cards. Those that worked, lasted me and were reliable, that's why I am giving 4 stars.

Great, super-fast card

Great card I stepped up to this from 8GB 30 MB/s CF and 32GB 80MB/s sd cards (which seemed to have similar performance in use). Compared to those 2 cards this transformed both Canon 1d IV and my 5d mkIII. On the 1D IV I have not hit my buffer limit and it clears nearly instantly. Shooting motorsports this lets me hit every car I want to using high speed frame rate on the opening lap AND have time to review my images while I'm waiting for them to come around again. On the 5dIII I am more likely to hit the buffer (still a rare occasion), but it clears quickly, again giving me a chance to review images while waiting for the cars to come around again. With my old cards sometimes the buffer hadn't even cleared by the start of the second lap. If you shoot action (or video) This (or another cards of similar speed) is one of the best investments you can make - It can literally add new life to older gear!

As for the capacity I do like not having to change cards frequently, although with such a fast card I have found myself taking more photos during a session, and there is always that "all your eggs in one basket" issue should the card get lost or camera stolen with a days shooting still in it.

I've been using this for a while now and the card never gave me any errors. I'm shooting with my 5D3 and it works as it should.

I received this card the other day and was curious how it would perform in my Canon 5D Mark III, so I tested it against some of my other high speed cards. Obviously you are paying a premium for the write speed, so I wanted to make sure I got what I paid for, so to speak. Here's what I came away with:

Camera Settings
-Canon 5D Mark III with battery grip - 2 fully charged batteries (grip doesn't matter)
-Freshly in-camera formatted CF cards
-ISO 100, 1/8000s, body cap (so f/0, manual focus)
-ALO, High ISO NR, vignette removal, CA correction OFF
-RAW
-High Speed Drive
Note: I realize that the body cap photos are all black and real photos will be larger and slow the camera more, but I think that this is the only way to have a 100% reproducible test.

Test
-Depress shutter fully until the camera slows
-Wait for buffer write to finish
-Press image review - look at # of images, subtracting the extra frame that indicated the buffer was full

Results
-Sandisk 16GB (SDCFX-016G-A61) UDMA 60MB/s read/write speed rated: 19 frames
-Lexar 32GB 1000x (LCF32GCTBNA1) UDMA7 - 150MB/s read / 95MB/s write speed rated: 23 frames
-Sandisk 32GB Extreme Pro (SDCFXP-032G-X46) UDMA6, 90MB/s write speed rated: 25 frames
-Sandisk 64GB Extreme Pro (SDCFXPS-064G-X46) 160MB/s read / 150MB/s write speed rated: 35 frames

The new card isn't quite a 50% boost over the previous generation, but it's close, and being able shoot at 6fp for at least 5 seconds straight in a 5DIII is excellent. I'm sure the 1DX, D4, and other cameras would also benefit from the card.
