Brilliant
Even though on the description page it says "Up to 30MB/s sequential read/write speeds", the finer print within the product details says "Speed Rating: 20 MB/s (read) 20 MB/s (write)". Just in case anyone is wondering, this IS NOT the 30 MB/s card.

I have two of them now and use them with my Nikon D90. I can get a lot of video recording out of them and the speeds seem to be able to cope well with the large amount of data recording.

Nice and reliable, good price and the small card reader comes in a small, zip-up, little pouch which is handy! Funnily enough, even though i have two of these, one came with a white usb card reader and the other one was black.

Nice card, price and works well.

confusing reviews at best
SANDISK EXTREME lll SD 8GB
I really need to get this card, but two of your reviewers seem to disagree. Is this card the "30mb edition" card? The picture is not the 30mb edition, but Lucius says it is and Richard Stowey says it is not. I have written several Amazon suppliers asking about this and none of them wrote back. pls help, my d90 needs this card.

A recent note, Lucius was kind enough to inform me that this is indeed the "30 mbs edition" and it is clearly written on the package as well as the card.

Not as advertised!
I was looking at ordering this card for my Nikon D60 to increase the number of photo's i could take and hopefully increase the rapid mode. I read all the reviews. Some saying they got the 30mb/s version and others saying they didn't. I decided to take the plunge and placed my order. It came this morning from TradeportUK and it isn't the 30mb/s version. It clearly says on the box 20mb/s.

It has obviously increased my picture capacity because my previous card was 4gb. However the cards are exactly the same speed. Im annoyed that Amazon can advertise the 30mb/s edition if they can't GUARANTEE that is what you are going to get from their external traders.
