Manufacturer's Description

SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash is designed for serious professional photographers who demand one of the fastest, more rugged and more durable memory cards on the market. Professional photographers who work under less than ideal conditions expect more from a flash memory card. More speed. More performance. More reliability. SanDisk’s new Extreme III card delivers everything you want plus a whole lot more!

That’s because only SanDisk Extreme III memory cards feature innovative ESP Technology for one of the fastest speeds and higher performance. ESP stands for “Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing”. Simply put, it means you are getting one of the fastest read/write speeds available – speed you’ll definitely appreciate whenever you find yourself shooting and storing pictures in harsh environments, extreme temperatures or at high altitudes.

Every SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash card comes with RescuePRO® so you can recover images, documents, mail, video, music – just about any digital file, with ease. Built with leading-edge media recovery algorithms, RescuePro lets you preview recoverable data before you try to retrieve it. With RescuePRO’s unique recovery algorithm for MPEG audio and MPEG video recovery (MPEG-1/2/3) what you see, and what you hear, is what you can recover.

Rely on SanDisk Extreme III cards when speed is critical to getting the right shot.

Customer Reviews

Excellent card
I bought this from amazon when it was £21.50, see it has now dropped to £17.99. Using it in a canon eos400d and have found it to be excellent. Stay way from Ebay when buying memory cards as there are so many fakes around which have slow write speeds. I would not hesitate to buy more of these cards from amazon.

Buy it!
Frankly, the buck stops here.

Top card, top price, reliability the best, and excellent size even if you're particularly trigger happy...

I use it with a Canon EOS 400d, on largest jpeg (depending on aperture etc etc) is over a 1000... RAW around 500

Quick and error-free
Bought for use in a solid-state MPEG-2 video recorder, write speed was critical. This card has not disappointed, handling continuous writing of 9Mbit/sec MPEG-2 up to a file-size of 3.6Gb. Tests using HD benchmarking software show that it should perform well beyond this, in line with the x133 claims from Sandisk.

The supplied recovery software promises to extract data from just about any form of card corruption. Fortunately I've not had to use it yet and I hope it isn't needed, but it is a nice feature all the same. The neoprene carry-case is a nice idea and will take two CF cards in their protective plastic cases - not exactly earth-shattering in it's use but another nice touch for a top-of-the-range card.

I will certainly be buying another one.
