SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card Reviews
With my Sony Alpha came a doodad that let me put in a Memory Stick Duo (the small version of Sony’s Memory Stick) card (I had several 4GB Duos laying around) and then pop that duo/Compact Flash adapter into the camera. I did pop in a Duo and installed the assembly into the Sony Camera (which uses the same slot as the current Alpha 100, 200, 300, and 350) and was a happy camper for many months. Then one day these SanDisk Extreme CF cards were on sale and I bought a couple and tried one out. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I could shoot two or three times as fast with virtually no time lag between shots! I then tried the Duo/CF adapter again and it worked fine and what I had come to expect as normally, then tried the SanDisk again and again it was super fast. There are several different speeds of SanDisk product, and the Extreme III is not even their fastest card. I don’t know if you can get higher speeds with a different flavor of card, but this one rocks!
