Personally I hate to carry more than 1 card because I tend to either misplace it or never use it. With this card 8GB is plentiful when taking pictures or capturing video with my Nikon D90. The speed is definitely noticeable when I connect to my PC to download, delete or even manage it. It is also recommended for the Nikon D90 if you want to take bursts of photos. Not just your ordinary card. I would recommend this to friends and even upgrade to the next one up.

I shoot Nikon cameras (D80, D7K) at work (law enforcement). Since a lot of my shooting is low-light, I wanted the highest transfer rate possible in a rugged card. The card is extremely fast, but the case is not what I would have expected at this price range. The plastic gates between the contacts are thinner than other brands (easily damaged when inserting/removing card), and the entire case is prone to flex. I actually had one card case separate while shooting a scene. I recently switched my entire working stock (16 cards)over to PNY cards. While not quite as fast on transfer, I'm perfectly happy sacrificing that slight speed advantage for cards that are more ruggedly constructed at a better price. I guess it's the difference between made in China (Sandisk) and made in Japan or Taiwan (PNY).

      Comments about SanDisk 8GB Extreme SDHC Class 10 Memory Card:

      I recently bought a dslr camera to shoot video on. I couldn't understand why the camera would only shoot for fifteen second. I soon realized that the SD card that I used for my small powershoot was not big enough to fit large HD video files.

      I bought this card to hold decent amounts of HD video. It is the perfect size for shooting interviews and news stories. It is very convenient in transporting files from the camera and with friends. If you have a macbook pro I would recommend buying an SD card reader because it is a lot faster to transfer the files from the SD card then to upload or capture from the camera.

      The card was shipped surprisingly fast. I got it in one day. Very useful. I recommend it.

                  With a Nikon D90, these don't allow the camera to take RAW pictures any faster than when using SanDisk Ultra cards.

                                    I needed to upgrade the SD card on my Nikon point and shoot... so figured I'd get a new one for my D80 and move that SD card to my point and shoot.

                                    The Extreme Class 10 card has been great news for my D80 - as fast as the camera can handle I figure. I don't need HD Video so no reason to get anything more than this.

                                    Very happy.

                                          Great memory cards. I have used San Disk Compact Flash and SD cards for several years. They just work. So far no issues.
