At first I wasn't sure of the company or the difference in a faster card. After getting a camera bundle that came with a Transcend card, I was impressed. So far this card has delivered on speed and durability. from Amazon.com I am a professional photographer and have been using the Sandisk Extreme IV for years. It was difficult straying from the brand name I was familiar with but I took a chance and purchased the Transcend 300x 8gb CF memory. This card is my second and my first one being a year old having no problems whatsoever made Transcend an easy choice as an option. from Amazon.com This card reaches it's advertized speeds, unlike some other 300x cards out there. It is one of the fastest CF cards available, and is compatible with CF to IDE adapters so it can be used as a fixed drive in your computer. from Amazon.com On my Nikon D3 I get about 25 MB per seconds WRITE speed, and it pulls down images through my Firewire 800 SanDisk writer/reader at near 800 Mbps wire speed of the firewire 800. I can fill my camera's buffer plenty fast with the D3, and it empties plenty fast as well. Transcend makes a great quality product. I have the 8GB 133x cards from Transcend as well and they are good workhorses for when I don't need fast buffer clearing. from Newegg.com I only shoot RAW and my camera's demand fast write speed. This CF card meets those demands for fast action sports shots. Now that I've experience the difference between a 300x, 233, and 80x... I won't settle for anything less than an 8G 300x transend card. from Newegg.com Pros: This is a fast CompactFlash Card (300x). It really works great with my Nikon D300 with the optional battery grip which bumps up to 8fps. from Newegg.com Pros: great fast card used with Canon 1D MkIII, I use this and their 8 gb SDHC memory card together filling one then auto switching to the other. Cons: none Other Thoughts: I always format my cards in the camera, not on the computer, not had problems with any cards in a Canon 20D and now the Canon 1D MkIII from Newegg.com i can fill my camera's buffer plenty fast with the d3, and it empties plenty fast as well.transcend makes a great quality product. from Newegg.com it was difficult straying from the brand name i was familiar with but i took a chance and purchased the transcend 300x 8gb cf memory. from Amazon.com i guess it could be a little faster, but when you compare the price of these to the sandisk extreme iv/ducati cards, it's a bargain! from Newegg.com
