SD = Simply Delightful !
I've had more memory cards (mainly SD) in the last couple of years than some people have had hot meals. I tend to either loose them (leaving one on a bus, one in a pub and more than a few that just seem to vanish into thin air) or more commonly they get damaged (I dropped one in a chest freezer and didn't find it till the next day, I've put one through the washing machine, and one even went up the hoover which manged somehow to break it open.) But even if I'm not responsible for their destruction, memory cards just seem to fail on me at an alarmling rate. So needless to say that if memory cards were living pets I would most likely have a life long ban from owning any. Now to the point. I recently upgraded to a new SLR digital camera (I won't go into details of how great it is) but I quickly found that I needed far better SD cards than the slow, slugish and small ones that I already had. I had used normal SanDisk memory cards in the past and found them to be generally ok, so I decided to purchase a pair of SanDisk SD 1Gb Extreme III cards to see how I got on with them. And now after using them for nearly a month, I think the cards are great little things. Included in the price you get recovery software (which I've tried and found to be excellent) and a carrying case with each card. Performance wise they are the best I've ever seen, and their running rings around my other SD cards in terms of transfer speeds, loading times, and rapid shot mode. I can also shot in RAW format instead on JPEG which is something I can't do with my older SD cards. They also are very heavy duty and both are still in perfecty working order. I went to Iceland a few weeks back and despite the cold the cards still preformed ideally (unlike my camera battery.) So yes, in conclusion I am very happy with the cards and if they work for me like they have then they should suit you just fine.

Good things come in small packages
Firstly, I originally saw this card at a high street store for £124.99 a few weeks ago! Even today it's £73.99 at the Jessops online store. So good work to Amazon on keeping the price down.

I bought this card for use in my latest digital camera, and really can't fault it. It's far faster than my older 40x SD card and 1 gig of space is enough for literally 1000s of photographs if you don't use the highest resolution. I took about 600 meg of photos one weekend and managed to download them using my usb 2.0 card reader in record time. The card has also survived being stood on a few times. ;-)

The best is this. Look no further.
I had been using a bog standard 1gb card in my Nikon D50 and been thoroughly happy with it. However, that was the card out of my MP3 player and so I was having to make do with the 256mb internal memory - just not enough. I wanted to reclaim that card and buy a better one for the camera.
I was looking at a Sandisk Ultra because my camera was unable to take advantage of the faster speeds of the Extreme, so Ultra would be sufficient. On the day I purchased, Amazon was selling the Extreme card for only 50p more than the Ultra. The Extreme comes with a few goodies - recovery software on a mini CD, a zip up case and there was a coupon in the box to download some RAW processing software for free.
I did the math and the Ultra just didn't add up. The Extreme is great in the camera although I haven't really put it to any speed tests. What I have noticed however is that the time it takes to unload the pictures onto my iMac has diminished significantly. There's hardly time for the little blue bar to appear before they are loaded. Swoosh! Thoroughly impressive package.
