A great card with the right hardware.

Great bargain, Great product, nothing negative about it.
I use this with my Canon Digital SLR camera, and am very happy with the performance especially as I use the high speed burst function when I do fast moving sport photography, I had a 4gb card before, and on a weekend away, had to empty the card onto a computer before resuming photo taking. 8gb is just about enough for ones needs.
However! New buyers be aware.
Don't fall into the trap of believing the performance figures when you have 'old' hardware.
In order to get maximum performance from this Extreme IV CF card, you require your device to be *UDMA* capable, otherwise you'd be disappointed.
Essentially, its like plugging in a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1 port; you won't get any faster than the USB 1 performance even though you have a USB 2.0 capable device.
Before buying, ensure the device that you're buying for (camera/mp3 player/camcorder/card reader/whatever) supports the UDMA, otherwise you're better off with a cheaper Extreme III of the same capacity that'll suit your needs just fine.
