Customer Reviews

Dissapointed....
I am rather dissapointed with the Extreme III. I bought it for my Kodak EasyShare C713 because with my previous SD card there was a several second delay between photos. I was hoping this 20MB/s would do the trick but it still takes a long time for the photo to process before you can take another. I feel I wasted my money.

extreme scandisk
This scandisk card I found to be very good. It has a fast writing speed and I wd definitely recommend it. I belong to a photography club which many of the professionals use this card.

It works...but not necessarily with all card readers
I'm happy with the card. It was an excellent price. I'm using it in a 12.1 MP camera and wanted to be sure I had a card with a fast write speed. I've only had the card for a few weeks, so I can't attest to the card's longevity yet. But so far, so good.

The only thing you want to check is that your card reader will handle the extra capacity. I had to get the SanDisk Imagemate 12-1 (with a convenient docking port/stand and a short usb cord to take it mobile without the docking port) because my Belkin reader couldn't handle the 2 GB card, when ironically, my older Dazzle 4-in-1 reader could. Go figure.
