SanDisk CompactFlash 4GB Extreme III Memory

I got my card today after over a week of waiting, only to find it was a twin pack with one of the cards quite forcibly taken out - the packaging was torn and ripped..

I know the card will be fine as I've already got one but I'm a little concerned with the service!

Everyone knows about this card's storage space available. Though now there the Extreme IV and Ducati versions, with speed over 40MB/s, you really need a top-end camera or card reader.
But these babies now are presented in the 30MB/s version, well above what my camera can cope and even more than my Extreme USB reader can muster.
The speed, combined with no faults in years of severe usage/abuse, and a no-frills warranty make this the safest buy.
I wouldn't go above 4GB for security purposes.
Have I mentioned they're dirty cheap? :)

I bought this disk as a replacement for a corrupted CF disk used in my Canon Ixus 400. I would probably have bought a cheaper one, but felt it worth paying the extra for the accompanying RescuePro software, just in case. It actually worked very well, recovering all but a few of the 100 or so pictures on the old corrupted disk.

Firstly, I would say that this card is great. It affords me almost 1000 10.2 mp images - which is more than I would consider shaking a stick at and is faster than a squirrel with its tail on fire. It came with a little zipped pouch for storing 2 cards and rescue software on a mini cd - as other reviewers have stated. However, IT DID NOT COME WITH A CARD READER, as some reviews suggest. Either the offer has altered, or the reviewers are mistaken, or I've been sold a kipper and been told it's a salmon.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a great price, and it's the card I was primarily buying (hence 5 stars), but now I need to go and buy a reader, which I didn't 'cause I thought there was one included. Erm, DOH, I believe is the appropriate Homerism.

Top Quality as I have a new Olympus X520 & without being in raw format is fine mode I get 766 photos the detail & quality from this card can not be matched.

This is the works!!!Buy it.
