Its better than Extreme 3 [Posted on 2008-06-22]
I was trying to buy a 4gb Extreme 3 but i couldnt find one I already have 2 Extreme 3 each 2gb. This one gives me alot of space for my nikon D80's RAW pictures and i have had no problem with speed or any thing else since i had it . where as Extreme 3 is giving me alot of problems in transfering pictures from SD to my hard drive and i have called Sandisk 2 times as they say Extreme 3 has a life time warrenty but nothing has been done so far. Extereme 2 is the best deal if you want to have a problem free digital photography . The price is really good.

Not a genuine ULTRA II Sandisk card [Posted on 2008-06-23]
Have been using this card for two months, it works well, no errors, no lost files, etc.

However, the advertised speed for SD Ultra II series is around 10MB/s reading and 9MB/s writing. This card does not go over 2.85 MB/s in either case. Additionally, it doesn't look like SD Ultra II 4GB shown on Sandisk.com.

At this price, I guess it is not a bad deal, however, it is as slow as my old 2GB No-name SD card.

love it [Posted on 2008-06-24]
This memory card is great. It holds thousands and thousands of pictures on high quality settings which is great for me so I don't have to keep uploading pictures every few hours.

Another SD format and one of the fastest [Posted on 2008-06-29]
SanDisk has so many versions out there, it is kind of confusing. This is a different Ultra II then the 2GB that were sold last year. This 4GB Ultra II is "SDHC" (Secure Digital High Capacity), which the 2GB was just an SD card. Regular SC cards are more compatible with most digital cameras and memory card readers. "SDHC" card are for the latest cameras and most DSLR, which can be read/write on SDHC card reader only or just the latest card reader.

Compatibility:
This does work fine with my DSLR Nikon D40. I could not get this new SDHC card to read on my 6 month old card Sony's Card reader nor my 2.5 years old Canon PowerShot SD400. But if you use the USB SDHC reader it worked fine and faster.

Performance
Maybe I got an OEM version, but it said it is a class 4 and 15mb/s. I ignore whatever speed SanDisk write, since I never get that performance. My old 2GB Ultra II said 10mb read/9mb write, but I only got like 6.5mb read/ 5mb write. This 4GB said 15mb, but I only get an average of 8mb read (copy) it peaked at 9mb once and is 6-7mb write. A class 4 has minimum of 4mb of write speed, which is true, this is more in line with a class 6. These information is shown on Window's Vista detail pop-up screen when you are copying or writing files.

Overall it is a great price and is one of the fastest performance I got from an SD card. I just had to upgrade for a SDHC card reader.

Lightning Fast [Posted on 2008-07-07]
I bought this card for my G9 and I am very impressed by what this little card can do.

The only other card I've used is the 8GB Extreme III, so I can't really say how much faster it is from other types, but I love the amount of storage and I found that burst mode was very effective with this card.
