Review on ๐Ÿ“ท SanDisk Extreme III SD Memory Card 2GB (SDSDX3-2048-901) - Retail Package by Keith Samuel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maybe more than you need

I'll get to the point. Sandisk Extreme can be compared to the professional Lexar series. both are recommended for professional sport shooters and possibly wedding photographers. For everyone else, it's better to be ultra than extreme. I'll explain: If your camera doesn't record at 5 fps or faster, you don't need it - Sandisk's next fastest card, the Ultra II, is fast enough for any DSLR at 3 fps or slower. The only place where extremes really matter is in the burst speed, which varies depending on your camera's buffer size and of course the camera itself. Oh, and the upload speed from camera to computer via USB can be a little faster with it. Other than that, this is a quality memory card from a reputable company. It used to be more expensive, but prices are falling fast, so it's not a bad deal for the price (although it wouldn't hurt to check other sites for deals).
