I purchased a couple of these to use with my new 5D Mark III. I also got a couple of SD cards (SanDisk) to take advantage of the dual card slots. I have always used SanDisk cards in the past with good results, however when I made my purchase this card was a little less expensive. I have heard a lot of good things about the Lexar cards, so I thought I would take a chance.
So far, the cards have worked flawlessly. I haven't pushed to test the write/buffer speed as I really don't shoot that way. Although I like to shoot sports and actions, I am more likely to time the right instant for one shot rather than machine-gunning on continuous. That said, I do shoot high speed continuous bursts at times. I did shoot some high speed continuous bursts with this card, and I have not experienced any lag waiting for the buffer to clear.
From all I have read, I understand to get the absolute fasteset writing speed with my particular camera, you would need to get the faster cards (90mb/s or faster - UDMA 7), but for me this card is plenty quick. I had a conversation with a tech guy at Canon USA, and his advice was a 60mb/s card is fine, more is probably overkill. I highly reccomend this card. If you really need the little bit of extra speed and have the cash to burn on the pricey ultra fast cards - by all means get some. For most people, and I mean even most serious amateur and professional shooters - I doubt you will notice a difference.

I've been using 2 Lexar 32 GB cards for the last 6 months. One of the cards went fully corrupted and I had to send it back to Lexar. In the mean time, I bought the 16 GB to tie me over. Within 20 minutes of shooting a rehearsal at the Manhattan School of music, the first 5 photos on the card were corrupted. I took my Nikon D700 to the Pro Tech to have it looked at. The camera was bought in October and is in mint condition. End result the tech said, "you can have multiple faulty cards caused by dust or some factor thereof. It's not uncommon." Up until recently, these cards had been pretty great. Now I sweat out each gig wondering if my card will hold up, or if I'll lose the batch during a shoot.

I use this to archive high-resolution audio. I had an 8 GB/300X that I was happy with, but I went up from96 kHz files to 192 kHz files, so I needed more capacity, but the extra speed margin never hurts.
A Lexar CF card has never failed on me, so that is why I stick with the brand. Love B&H's speedy delivery and everything else.

Comments about Lexar 16GB CompactFlash Memory Card Professional 400x UDMA:
Writing a review of a CF card is a bit like reviewing a pen or blank DVD. People develop favorites or pay no attention to brand, both extremes. I've been using Lexar, at their ever-quickening speed, UDMA, etc., and now picking up amazingly low-priced 16GB cards before embarking on trips where I expect to do lots of photography. (Using Nikon DSLR) Never had a Lexar fail - well, once, years ago - and I sent it to Lexar and they not only replaced it (which would never replace the treasured images) but rescued the contents and put it on a CD. Years ago (8-9 years) and never again. Moving towards the bigger cards of late 8GB and up, and despite initial concerns, they've been super reliable. And the prices continue to drop. Lexar is my go-to for CF cards and also card readers.
