I bought this card to use with my Canon EOS Rebel T2i and I'm glad I did.
The speed of this card, both read and write, is simply phenomenal. When reading from the card, file transfers are quick and painless; almost as fast as simply copying files already on the hard drive. As for writing, it is so fast that my camera's write buffer is simply a non-issue. I've taken bursts of over 50 (JPEG) images in a row without the frame rate slowing down to let the camera catch up. This is probably the best feature of the card. Capturing the exact moment you're waiting for during a sports game or bird watch should be much easier with the ability of this card to let you keep shooting.
As for negatives, what can I say? It's an SD card. If all you need is storage then you can certainly get it cheaper. Additionally, don't expect to be able to take a long burst of RAW+JPEG without any slowdown; while this is probably the fault of the camera's buffer just as much as the card, the T2i (or any other 18MP camera with 14-bit RAW) pumps out an average of 22MB RAWs at a rate of 3.7 per second. 30MB/sec write won't save you there. To its credit though, it clears the buffer very quickly to let you continue shooting.
Bottom line: If you need a fast card for your favorite type of shooting, or just want immunity from the dread of a full buffer. Look no further. If all you want is storage, there are cheaper cards for that.
Note: I highly recommend using an SD card reader or a dedicated SD card slot, as the speed is incredible compared to most cameras' built-in USB.

The card performs well, however my card quit working for me after less tham 3 months. The prongs on the card fell apart and I contacted SanDisk directly for a replacement and they said the problem was physical damage. I feel that for what I paid for the card they should stand behind it and replace it at no charge to me. I feel that you should be able to use a product not just leave it in the case and look at it.

Have used the Extreme and Extreme III for about three years with no issues. Keeps up with my D90 in continuous shooting until the camera's buffer overloads. Just got a Canon S100 and this card supports it's continuous shooting and HD movie capabilities with no problems.

Comments about SanDisk 8 GB Extreme SDHC Class 10 Memory Card:
What more could you ask for? This is now my 8th purchase of these 8GB Extreme SDHC memory cards. A fabulous card, does everything you need it to. Quick read/write speeds, have never had a problem with dropped frames or lost photos. Transfer rate to the computer is just as quick as if I was transferring between the computer hard-drives themselves.
This is the perfect card for anyone starting into photography or videography. Highly recommend it! And the price! Can't get much better than that.

Comments about SanDisk 8 GB Extreme SDHC Class 10 Memory Card:
The quality you'd expect from Sandisk at a price you can't beat from B&H.
This buy was a no-brainer for me and I'll more than likely be coming back for a set of the 16gb versions of this card - no fault of the card but 16's would be nice, 8's are a slightly fast data turnover rate for the DMT it seems. I've been using my 8gb extremes for video production in a variety of situations (exterior, interior, cold, rain, etc) and they've held up fine.
Definitely a great buy from B&H, no problems thus far.
