After trying several other brands, I'm a huge fan of the SanDisk Extreme III series of SDHC and CF cards. Very fast (faster than most cameras) and very reliable. Can download at nearly 20 MB/s using a high-speed card reader. Highly recommended.
Buy it

its 8 Gigs and its fast. This card can hold tons of pictures around 1400 full size Jpgs from my 12.1 mp XSI. Only way this card would likely run out of space is if u never clean it or if u shoot all RAW all day. Even then it holds a lot. If u have the green for this card you won't be disappointed. Only card bigger is the 16 Gb.
There is no substitute... SanDisk is simply the BEST!

Reviewer: M. ORTIZ,
If you have an SDHC compatible digital camera or camcorder and you like to take high resolution photos (5MP or higher) or High-Definition Video (720P/1080P), do yourself a big favor... buy this card! I recently bought the SanDisk 8GB Extreme III card for my Canon HF100 and Kodak Zi6 camcorders and I must say the performance is without equal! Salespeople will sometimes tell you that all memory cards are the same, but that is totally untrue. The "no-name" cards you find on some sites give spotty performance and mixed results. I've had HD video footage ruined by other brand "class 6" cards which fail to write fast enough to memory. The resulting footage is generally "jerky" when played back on your computer. Bottomline, I've used SanDisk products for years in my Sony PSP, Sony Clie PDA, and Nikon Coolpix 5000 and NEVER had a problem. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this card to anyone with an SDHC compatible electronic device.
Holds thousands of high quality photos

I used this for a 12 week trip in Europe, and was never able to fill it up, even using a 12 megapixel camera and going for a couple weeks at a time without uploading my photos to my laptop. I also took lots of videos and they turned out great and transferred perfectly.
It really does make a difference

I always thought one SDcard was as good as another. Apart from some rare incompatability issues, any one you had would do. And that's probably true if you're just moving stuff between a camera and computer.

But someone convinced me to try this one for speed, and wow, it really does matter. I keep data for various programs, such as my email and Usenet program, on a card (to make it easy to switch between my work laptop and Eee), and the speed difference between a cheap SD card and hard disk was painful. But this card restored most of the speed and my software is quite usable this way now.
