While I do use this with my Canon 1d Mark II N, I mainly use two of these cards with the Sony PMW-EX1. Along with Kensington Expresscard adapters for $40 a piece, (which Sony has gone to great lengths to destroy and extinct) I can now get 16gb of video for [$] versus paying $800 for Sony's way overpriced SXS 16gb card. I can't wait till SanDisk comes out with a 32gb SD! While I can't use the 60p over/under cranking (due to bandwidth limitations) I can still enjoy hours of video for much cheaper.

I use this card with the MxR EFilms SxS SD card adapter. I've found that this Extreme III card works no better than the cheaper "videoHD" 16GB SD card also from SanDisk.
I thought that upgrading from a class 6 card to a class 10 card might allow me to get slow-motion with an SD adapter on the Sony EX3 camcorder, but it wasn't the case. This Extreme III card doesn't allow slow-motion in the SD adapters. Nor does this Extreme III card offload any faster onto a harddrive than the "videoHD" Class 6 version.
In short, this Extreme III card is perfectly fine and works and is dependable, but just isn't the best value if you're looking for media for a Sony EX1 or EX3 Sxs Card replacement.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
These cards make memory cards something I no longer even think about. I use them for landscape, weddings, events, and walkaround shooting. They're fast, reliable, and large enough to give you plenty of room on any shoot.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
Basically great. Works. Fast enough for my purposes. I use it for photo & video on a Canon T2i. It records 1080p video without a problem. Have done it many times, many minutes or just a few seconds, no problem. Burst shots work fine too at the T2i's max res. Haven't checked how many pics I can get before it slows me down.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
I bought this Memory Card right after my Lexar broke down. It was my first time I was using a Lexar SDHC 32 GB Class 6 and it just stopped working. It was second day of my holidays in Caribbean... Luckilly I had with me another Memory Card. After that time I had decided never be cheap again for accessories and I bought this card. So far so good. Card writes data fast and I am able to take full HD viedeos up to 80 min. When I use my 18MP DSLR Canon it gives me over 500 pictures in RAW format.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
SanDisk Extreme @30MB/s card is definately not 2X the speed of it's SanDisk Ultra @15MB/s card. Don't expect to download pictures from this Extreme card in half the time of the Ultra card. You'll be disappointed. Either the Extreme card is over rated or the Ultra card is under rated. The SanDisk Ultra @15MB/s is a much better deal.

This card is FAST
This card is reliable
A great company stands behind it
Since I was in Budapest, Hungary, and my [other brand] memory card failed, I have relied solely on Sandisk cards. That was in 2006, and I have never had a single problem with any Sandisk card. I travel frequently to extreme weather places (Antarctica, Dubai, Namibia, Greenland) and the Extreme series of Sandisk cards gives me the confidence that I will always capture the image.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
I was using the 15 MBPS veersion on my rebel T2i. and while shooting RAW all the time my camera was busy to write snaps. Then I went for this one. Just wow. I dont see my camera busy now. Its shooting and writing at full speed. The card itself has very high transfer rate also when tested it thru card reader to transfer data/pics.
Overall, a superb card.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme SDHC Memory Card:
I was using an ULTRA version with 15mbps 8 GB sandisk. When I started shootign RAW, I felt the speed of 15mbps is not good enough to write 21-22mb RAW files and it was hampering my shooting performances. So I went for 30mbps 16gb Extreme. AND I am in the height of satisfaction. Its read/writing time is JUST simply fantastic.
