Rating: - Excellent CF card
I have been using this card for over a month now it worked flawlessly. I recommend Sandisk because I have been using my Sandisk CF 2GB since Jan. 2005 I used it in my Minolta 7D and then in my Canon 400D and now in my Fostex FR-2LE Digital Sound Recorder it has been working fine ever since I used it without any data loss or malfunction.
Rating: - Awesome!
I shoot with a 5d and this card holds around a thousand shots. That's just awesome. I go out, I shoot for the whole day and don't have to change my card...I mean, what else could I want? I love it. Oh and it's about a 3rd the price of similar cards being sold in the mall.
Rating: - Not so great
Nothing to do with the seller, who was very prompt. Card works fine, but I get the impression that it is actually slower, substantially so, than the Ultra II card I replaced.

Rating: - Great Card for the money
This is a great card and more than fast enough for its age. I got it when it was about 6 months from release.

Don't format it in the 5D unless your firmware is up to date, however, or it will be treated like an 8gig card until you get something to reformat it and reclaim the "lost" 8 gigs. There's a little hewlett packard formatting ... Read More
Rating: - Make sure you get the 2008 version of this card!!!
SanDisk has pulled a fast one on us who are accustomed to the Extreme III & IV series. They've updated the Extreme III series with a new "2008" spec model. Yeah, so what... Well, the 2008 spec Extreme III 16GB CF card is almost twice as fast as the original "20x" Extreme III 16GB CF card in my Nikon D3. In fact, the 2008 16GB model is just marginally slower than my Extreme IV 8GB card in my D3. This speed increase makes a big difference for me when shooting motorsports in RAW mode and hyperactive children. ... Read More
