   I put this baby to the test on a Nikon D90 in burst mode. The amazing performance of this memory card allowed the camera to keep using its buffer taking pictures at 4 frames per second for a period of at least 30 seconds. Hear the machine gun in your ear as you take your pictures at a sports event or at SeaWorld while dolphins jump out of the water and get a shot worth being published on Sports Illustrated. Wow!

   With its huge capacity, you will probably never need to carry another stick in your camera bag. I set the resolution at the highest level on the D90 and the indicator showed I could store 2,100 pictures in this memory card. Awesome!

   Very good purchase, the price is high, true but the name says it all about its performance: “EXTREME”.

   Bought this and tried it in my Canon Vixia HFS10 HD camcorder. Cannot even record at the higher MXP or FXP settings (24 or 17mb/s), best it can do is XP+ at 12mb/s. This is nowhere CLOSE to the advertised potential of 30mb/s. That’s not even HALF of the claimed top speed for writing. I am utterly disappointed with Sandisk who I had trusted up until now. Needless to say, check your write speeds for the various settings on a higher end HD camcorders before buying any flash memory cards.

   Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

   I use this with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 in avchd lite SH at 17Mbps and it work’s flawlessly, make sure you are not trying to play it back over usb, because usb can’t keep up and you have the left side of the video washed out. As for the transfer from the camera to the computer, you might be better off popping it into a reader, but I have no problem transferring from the camera over usb.
