SanDisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Class 10 High Performance Memory Card (SDSDX3-008G-P31)

The awesomeness of this card is it's high-speed performance. If you don't have a card reader that can keep up, or a camera that can utilize it, then it would be a waste. My ZS5 Panasonic can take around 70 consecutive photos to this card before the buffer runs out. So, for me it's really nice.

This iteration of the memory card is considerably faster that the Ultra version I was using.

If your camera is over 10 megapixels and takes 3+ shots per second... You need a fast memory card. This is one. This is a GREAT one.


Sandisk is the best in the business, in my humble opinion. Even their USB thumb drives are legendary for quality and reliability. I have several of those, along with other SD cards from Class 10 to ...before they labeled them with speeds.


Will a cheap memory card work? Yes!

It will. Then one day (maybe one like this) you're going to realize that the performance of your camera is directly related to the cheap card you threw in there. If you take one picture at a time, and don't care if you lose all your images, etc - the cheap cards can do that.

Got a new T2i? Don't consider another card if you're thinking about trying the HD movie mode! The video will look great until the camera chokes and basically spits out all the data. Hopefully it wasn't something you were planning on looking at again. Slow cards and massive data transfers do not mix.


When you discover the benefits of shooting in RAW and Continuous (good reasons for using a DSLR?), that's where this card comes in to play.


If you already realize that you need a fast memory card, you're on the right page. Scroll up and find the "Add to Cart" button. Order this and be done with it.


Snazzy looking card, by the way. It deserves some customer images. Even the box it comes in is nice.



5/5 - Worth Every Cent.

Purchased this 8 gig card for my Kodak Zi8, No problems. would purchase it again.

I use these cards in my new Canon T2i. They are very fast. I'd like to try the SDXC cards, but the price is ridiculous. The 8gb can record 209 pictures in RAW + JPG mode. With 4 of them, I can record over 1000+ pictures at a setting, as fast as I can squeeze the button. (Better get an extra battery as Canon says that the battery will only last 500 pictures
