What Others Say
A great speedy card
I purchased this SanDisk card along with a new Canon Digital Rebel XSi. I wanted a high capacity card since 12 megapixel RAW files take up a lot of space. I also bought an 8GB Transcend card as a backup, and I have a feeling a lot of people are looking at that card as well.
Many probably wonder why this card costs so much more, and the answer is speed. The XSi is not a fast camera by dSLR standards, but I can tell a noticeable difference between the write speed of this and the Transcend card. I like to shoot in auto-exposure bracket mode for HDR photography, and this card clears the buffer quicker in case I need to shoot multiple shots. Other than that, I can't tell too much of a difference. I haven't had either card long ... Read More
Great SDHC Card
Love the card. It's pretty fast and have never had a problem with it.
Beware: you won't get the card reader if "Straight Trading" is the seller
At the time I'm writing this, this chip is being fulfilled by an outfit called "Straight Trading", and the page claims that the price includes both the 8-gig chip and an SDHC card reader. But I only received the chip. When I complained about it to Amazon, they made good on it with their usual excellent service. Apparently, the chip+reader package was offered my a previous supplier, and the text is still on the page, even though Straight Trading doesn't honor it.
Great Purchase!
I bought this card for my new camera after i found out that it would accept SDHC cards and have not had any problems - in my Canon camera it holds over 3700 pictures or 101 minutes of video!
I chose SanDisk SDSDRH-008G-A11 Ultra II 8GB/15MB SDHC Card (Black) also because it came with a HC reader.
Forgot it was in the Camera
A thing like a memory card should work so well it's invisible. It's a little like a support person at a corporation who maintains things so well she or he never gets a raise because management doesn't see what good they do since everything works so well.
Well, that's the case with the 8 Gig card. It just works and works fast in my Ricoh GX100.
When the request from Amazon for a review of SanDisk SDSDRH-008G-A11 Ultra II 8GB/15MB SDHC Card (Black) appeared in email I had to check the camera to see which card I was using. Sure enough, it is the new 8 Gig card. Works great.
The card reader works perfectly as well which is important since the card is a SDHC card and cannot be read by a standard SD reader.
