You just can't beat a ScanDisk memory card. I have several memory cards and I prefer ScanDisk over all others. I haven't had any issues with Kingston's or Lexar brand cards, but the first card I bought years ago from PNY gave me nothing but trouble. For peice of mind I always try to buy SanDisk for my DSLR digital camera. I just bought my mother a new digital camera for her birthday and it's a SanDisk card I'm giving with it.

What's great about it: capabilities
if you happen to have a 7D or anything that needs a compact flash, you should definitely buy this. it brings out 8FPS on my 7D with no problem. might be a bit limited to space if you constantly shoot max raw, only about 600 shots. but its good enough for the price and what its worth. no regrets!

I am loving this CompactFlash. I haven't had it very long, so I cannot comment on its longevity, but it is quick and has more than sufficient memory for a hobbyist photographer recording in both RAW and JPEG. I considered saving some money and going with the 8GB version at first... I changed my mind and splurged on the 16GB because BestBuy is fantastic and price-matched the memory card to a promotion at a different store. I was able to save $20!! (Final price under $80)
I can't say enough about BestBuy customer service and consistently honoring price matches. Well Done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Totally stable, high capacity, the sale price was shocking
What's not so great: Is pricy when not on sale
I'm a semi pro photographer taking sports photography on my Canon 40D with a 70-200 IS 2.8 L lens. I'm taking up to 6 frames per second for up to a minute continuously (release my finger every second or so.) and the Sandisk's performance is unbelievable and staying with my demands without slowing down nor stopping / freezing the camera.
I also have a 533X 32Gb generic brand memory card that costed a bit more than the Sandisk on sale. and I have the problem that from time to time this generic brand will cause the camera to freeze due to what I think is the clogging up of the memory queue since it can't handle the continuous load I put on it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This same card sells for half the price at other reputable vendors such as B&H and Newegg. Save your money and buy elsewhere. Heck, spend the same amount, but buy TWO!
I checked the box that I would recommend this product to a friend, but I recommend that you buy this item somewhere else in order to get your full value.

What's great about it: Weather Sealing, Speed, Build Quality
What's not so great: These are spendy cards
I have this and the 8 GB extreme 60 MB/s cards as well as a variety of other CF cards from SanDisk & Lexar. The Extreme cards are by far the fastest transfer rates of the bunch.
The weather sealing is nice in case you're shooting in cold, humid, or rainy weather, gives you the confidence to keep shooting. If you're looking for one of the fastest cards out there, especially when using a 5D Mark II or another camera that supports UDMA, buy this card.

This memory card is not for the faint hearted. I have a bunch of these guys matched up to my 50D and 5D Mark II and they easily keep up. After shooting 20 shots in a row, the buffer is empty after 3 or 4 ish seconds if not faster. I managed to get mine on a sale at best buy.
I would only recommend this for those who shoot RAW on high end cameras that can actually take advantage of UDMA cards.
