SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV UDMA CompactFlash Card
SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV CompactFlash Cards are for the high-end professional photographers, who require the highest possible performance and the largest capacities for their medium format digital camera backs and high-end digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras. Extreme IV memory cards feature innovative ESP (Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing) technology and utilize the UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) Standard, which involves a process by which data can be moved from a storage device very efficiently, without laboring the host device's processor. Cards that utilize the UDMA standard provide high performance rated at 45 MB/s (266x), and are only compatible with cameras that are UDMA compliant.
Every SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash card comes with RescuePRO Deluxe so you can recover images, documents, mail, video, music - just about any digital file, with ease. Built with leading-edge media recovery algorithms, RescuePRO Deluxe lets you preview recoverable data before you try to retrieve it. With RescuePRO's unique recovery algorithm for MPEG audio and MPEG video recovery (MPEG-1/2/3) what you see, and what you hear, is what you can recover.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV UDMA CompactFlash Card:
I did a little test of this card vs. a SanDisk II card, and this one was clearly much faster. It was able to write the images almost as fast as the 7D could shoot them, where the old card took almost a full minute to finish writing them.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV UDMA CompactFlash Card:
I didn't get the largest, fastest and most expensive CF card for my new 7D. This one hasn't slowed me down or filled up in my use. This card is enough for me, at this time.
If I were a pro sports or nature photographer shooting 9 frames per second for every shot… then the 64GB Pro would be a requirement.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV UDMA CompactFlash Card:
I purchased this CF card for my Canon EOS 7D which I also purchased from B&H. I've used it for both still shots and video. It has totally lived up to it's reputation and description. There are absolutely no problems and I very highly recommend it. The sixty dollar manufacturers rebate was a big help but would purchase it again if no rebate was available!

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme IV UDMA CompactFlash Card:
I use 2 of these with a Canon 5D Mark II for about the last six months. PROS: - Fast- Huge Capacity (about 48 minutes of video recording on the 5DMII)- Reliable so far (see cons)CONS:- My first card died within a week, although it may have been due to my shutting off the camera before the pictures were finished writing to the buffer.[...] I haven't had an issue since, however.
