Sandisk 4GB Extreme III 30MB/s card
Not a lot to say really, other than this 4GB version is an excellent mid-capacity card that really delivers with write/read speed and download to PC.

Installed in my Nikon, the initial format was swift, and it has performed flawlessly over the last 9 months. Capacity on the default picture size and quality, which is usually perfectly satisfactory, is around 1,050 shots.

Yes, you can find similar a bit cheaper, but you gets what you pays for, and I can find no criticism for this fast 30MB/s card.

Super fast!
I purchased a SanDisk Ultra II to go with my Canon EOS450D camera and was quite happy, then I saw this Extreme III on offer and as I needed more memory I got it. Wow is the word, where there is a noticeable pause with the Ultra II card while the EOS450D writes the image to the card. It takes just a blink of the eye for the EOS450D to write the file to this Extreme III card. I shoot RAW so the images are quite big so the speed of this card is a real boon when shooting anything fast action and you want to fire off several shots one after the other.
So if you are looking for some fast memory to use with your camera this is the stuff!

Sandisk 4GB SDHC Extreme III - 30MB/s Edition
I bought this for my Nikon D60 and it works fantastically well. Continuous shooting is now possible and the upload speed to my PC is noticably quicker. In "normal" quality and Medium image size (2896x1944) it'll hold over 1700 photos, and even on the largest 3872x2592 (10Mp)and lowest compression setting it'll take 520 photos.
On RAW settings, you're looking at 318 photos.
Great card - I'm very happy with its capacity and speed overall.
