SanDisk - Ultra 8GB CompactFlash (CF) Memory Card

Real simple. I bought an old Canon G5 digital rangefinder camera. Canon traditionally eschews SD cards (on their full-size cameras) in lieu of the way more expensive CF cards. I needed capacity measured in Giga vs Mega bytes since I wanted to shoot RAW with this camera. BB had these 8GB cards on sale at about 50% off. Couldn't pass it up. I'd like a bigger CF card but not ready to shell out the dough for the higher capacity. I've never had issues with any SanDisk cards so I don't anticipate issues with this one. I just wish, on a whole, these CF cards were less expensive. * So the Excellent rating for value is based on the great sale price. At it's $49.99 price it's a joke. Unless you have a big Canon camera. * Capacity is what it is. You pay (a lot) more you get more. * Durability is an assumption. If the lighter more fragile SD cards last, how much longer the heavier CF cards? * On it's own I'd not recommend a CF card unless you had a specific requirement for one (like you have a full-size Canon camera). You get better value for your money using the SD cards.

Having taken a photography class as part of my Studio Art major in college, my mother decided to volunteer me to help her take pictures at a friend's wedding. (Because that obviously makes me qualified, haha) When my mom was chosen as a bridesmaid and therefore unable to run around with a camera, that left me the sole photog and I figured I had better have a backup card for emergencies. Ended up using this one to avoid deleting the shots of the rehearsal and so I could simply give the photos to the bride as part of her wedding present without mixing shoots. This card worked very well, no issues with fragmenting the images or with my camera(Canon Rebel XTi) reading it.

I have used 2 other brands. Sandisk has always been reliable. I still have my original 250mb one from 15 years ago! I like 8GB just because it gives my plenty of space for a long vacation but not too much to waste incase I don't fill it. I have used and reused my original 8GB card for the last 5 years with no problems. Very dependable product!

This memory card gives plenty of storage when you were shooting events. It's great for us pros, I would also say the amateur photographers would get a bonus out of this also because they wouldn't have to keep going back to the computer to get rid of the images and start all over again!

The compact flash is a little bigger so you can store it easier. More space on outside card to write a note to stick on it. This way you can see what is on the card by reading the post it note. Also it takes great pictures and it holds much storage. I have always had great color with this memory card.

Got it on sale. Perfect for my photos. I do not shoot RAW that much and I am more selective on when to press the shutter on my DSLR. Thought of getting the 64 GB, but I just don't need the capacity now or in the near future. I have 3 other SanDisk cards and am very happy with their speed and capacity.

Quality of the product is good and price is low. The online order process was easy and straight forward. The product was deliveried within a week. Best Buy had provided the shipment tracking information regularly and it has made my purchase went very smoothly

I wasn't sure if 8g was going to be big enough to hold all my pictures on our trip to Yellowstone National park. It was the perfect size for taking all those pictures. I even have a lot of space left after taking over 1,500 pictures on our vacation
