Hi. Is it Ultra III or Extreme III? How much did you get the 4Gb card?

The Extreme IV made for the EOS 1D MkIII?

Most newbies to advance amateurs are using mostly 3-5 frames per second DSLRs, models like the Extreme III and Extreme IV is an overkill and a waste of money for cameras less than 5fps unless you're bursting a full 5fps and shooting RAW format, that would kill YOU first after the photo session when you have dozens of RAW files to transfer and edit! laugh.gif

I jammed a standard Sandisk 512MB once and I am damn afraid, I managed to jam my Kingston Elite Pro 1GB once. Time to get a Ultra II or Extreme III when I have the money unsure.gif

groucho how much did you pay for your Extreme III 4GB? I got my Ultra II for SGD$95 in Singapore last week. Previously I got my Extreme III 2GB for SGD70.

I saw the prices at Low Yat about 3 weeks ago, I coudn't believe my eyes. Sandisk CF prices were so much more expensive than in Singapore. Double or probably triple the prices in Singapore. Crazy.

@User61.

Your prices are quite high as well. When did you get the Extreme III 2GB? I got mine for RM110 last 2 weeks. The Extreme III 4GB is also not SGD95 here IIRC.... both at LowYatt plaza.....

I tot of getting the Sandisk ULTRA II, But like you said, the prices are exorbitant.....

Really? LowYat selling cheaper than those prices for Sandisk? Hm strange.

Just to make matters clear, I got my ULTRA II 4GB for SGD95 and Extreme III 2GB for SGD70.

RM110 for Extreme III 2GB? That's a steal because when I check out LowYat a few weeks ago, it was around RM200-300+. Which shop did you get it from?

i have adata 2gb. But for 2gb, i think i can't use it on my 350d. Corrupted images. I can shot like normal.. But rarely can review back my photos. Still, i can transfer to my pc. I change it 2 times already. But still have the same problem.

There's no problem with my Adata 4gb n Kingston 1gb.
