Review on SanDisk 16GB 60MB/s Extreme Compact Flash Card SDCFX-016G-A61: Reliable Storage Solution for High-Speed Data Transfer (US Retail Package) by Wayde Lash

retail packaging. for CompactFlash cards

From other reviews I found that it is difficult to determine the value (quality and reliability) of a card in the short term, not in the long term. That being said I will amend my review accordingly if I run into any issues in the future. I read in some reviews that others received the product in a zippered bag. It would suck and I would be disappointed if it happened to me. Some were even new. So the best I can offer you at the moment is that mine came in complete, unopened retail packaging - as expected so I'm delighted. Lots of long exposures, HDR and now video to shoot. Another point I have to confirm is that Prime shipping is important to me and arrived as expected (and requested) on the day of our trip last week. So I recommend everything. **UPDATE** I've used this card quite a bit over the past 6 months and it's been reliable and fast, even with video. I've upgraded to a SanDisk Extreme Pro CF 16GB - UDMA 90MB/s 600x memory card (SDCFXP-016G-A91, US Retail Pack) for Dedicated Business Video, but it's not because I have issues with that card and saw this video. , more for added confidence.

Pros
  • understandable also for the old ones
Cons
  • some little things
