Review on πŸ’Ύ SanDisk Ultra CF Card (8GB/30MB, SDCFH-008G-A11) - US Retail Package by Ben Diesel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works as expected: CompactFlash cards

I almost always buy SanDisk cards for my digital camera. As a professional photographer I want something that is reliable and have used this SanDisk 8GB card a number of times since purchasing it. It has worked reliably every time. I trust SanDisk to make quality memory cards. I mainly use it in my Canon 7d camera and the only downside is that I run out of space too quickly when shooting videos. This is normal as the price of these cards compares favorably to the cost of losing a job. Addendum: I had to send the card back because it kept giving me errors when I filled 3/4 almost completely. I would lose photos as a result. Dealing with SanDisk support wasn't very fun. They sent me the old card twice but when I returned it the second time they immediately gave me the correct replacement card. Since then it has worked flawlessly. This was something I didn't have to deal with and took off a star for their customer support. If they hadn't frozen the new map I would have downgraded it to 2 stars. I understand that CF cards with defects exist. That's the purpose of the RMA, but contacting SanDisk support wasn't easy or pleasant. In the end, they did the right thing and made up for their inability to communicate effectively.

Pros
  • Fun
Cons
  • Security
