I like this product because it's the correct one for my camera. That being 15+ years old.BUT...a little pricy. Oh Well, it does the trick.

I was impressed with how quick and easy this card was to use. I read a ton of reviews about how some cards aren't fast enough or large enough, but this card did just what I wanted. I took rapid-fire pictures (and a lot of them) in dim lighting. The pictures just kept coming and I was easily able to get over 500 pictures onto this card. It's worth every penny and I will be purchasing another one from my Canon Rebel XTi!

I purchased this item in 2009 and it is still going strong. I have removed the files from it over 40 times, and can see no deterioration in image quality due to wear on the Card. I would not hesitate to recommend this item.

They say size don't matter, but fitted into my camera i can get over 900 photos on it, not that I intend to but at least I can click away without having to worry about memory storage

Very fast, can fit loads of HD photos - around about 2000- and it doesn't slow down even in a low exposure and/or flash enabled picture. I love this thing.

SanDisk is my 'Go To' card for photography, video and audio. I have never had a problemwith any of the cards I have purchased from this manufacturer through Amazon.I believe they are well constructed and the company offers a wide range of cards for theamateur and professional.My Canon 20D DSLR uses the CF card and I like to shoot my son's martial arts workouts,sparring, and belt tests. I went to a faster card, the 30MB/s transfer rate, because mycamera can shoot 5 frames per second even with a flash attached. I needed a faster cardand this card does the work. I was able to capture fast action and stop it in millisecondincrements. You've got to love the faster cards.I have been using this 4MB card for over 3 years now, to Korea, the West Coast, and in thedojang, and there have been no issues of any type. Solidly built and working as advertisedalways brings me back to SanDisk.Again, I give this card 5 stars due to its performance and build. There are more expensivecards from SanDisk in the professional range but this card does it for me.

Recently got this for a New-Used 30D and it works very well with it! Fast read times and write times for the average photographer, although it might just be a tad bit slow for the action photographer.It's really important to remember to NOT delete the pictures via computer. Just copy and paste (or move) the pictures to your desktop, and re-format the card via the camera if you don't want to save any or delete one by one. The chances of the card corrupting increase.. quite a lot if you delete pictures via PC.EDIT (March 17, 2013)- After thousands of shots, this card is still going strong! Just be weary that the transfer rate shows it's weakness as soon as you start shooting in RAW format. Rapid fire a few RAW shots and it takes 5-10 seconds to actually save on to the card. It's not bad if you are shooting still objects or things that aren't in rapid motion, but maybe get a CF card with a higher transfer speed if you shoot sports in RAW and need the buffer free and clear often. Excellent for JPEGs though!

I have standardized (for now) on 4GB cards because I can shoot a lot, download them quickly to my computer and then burn the entire Compact Flash to a DVD (DVD's hold 4 GB). Also, if you have a card with a lot more capacity, you may be tempted to load it up with a ton of pictures. Not a good thing if you lose one, it gets damaged or if it fails.This one is a SanDisk model. It's not my first SanDisk and won't be my last. These have been the most reliable and fastest cards I have used.SanDisk - I have over a dozen and none have EVER had a problem (can't say that about a few others!)

What can you say? Put it in my camera and everything works just fine. No problems with performance or anything. I use it in an Olympus E420 DSLR.

Write speeds for cards become the most import aspect in Compact Flash cards when laying on the motor drive. At 30 megs per second, this card bogs down when shooting sports at 9 frames per second on my 12 meg Nikon D700 or D300. The buffer in the card will cover the initial bursts, but then lags and stalls as the card processes and stores the data that becomes bottlenecked between the camera and the card. What happens is suddenly, while laying on the motor, the camera stops firing. Then a few frames at a time will fire as space opens up during downloads. All images taken before the clog hits will make it into the card, soon enough (just don't turn the camera OFF while they're inputing). This card is as advertised. It holds 4 gigs. The reason it costs less than other 4 gig cards is the Slower Write (or processing) Speed. Just take note that there are much more expensive cards with the same 4-gig capacity. They are more expensive because their Write Speeds are much quicker, from 133 megs per second, over 300 megs per second, and so forth. Professionals need these speeds primarily when shooting sports and often enough they're on the motor for several seconds. The images get from the camera into the card almost instantaneously, say, 40 at a time, without needing a breather. THAT's what you pay the extra money for. Just an FYI...
