I am a starting director of photography and generally someone addicted to making images.
I love the idea of being about to shoot long footages, a lot of footages, without having to worry about buffering time. Especially during events, sometimes you wished you had your camera ready and not buffering the video you just shot. This card is perfect for you, if this is how you make a use of your camera. It's fast 90mb/s, and it's reliable. I don't worry about information loss.
I have started using those for a year now an I love them.
I specifically only buy the 16 gig ones. Even though I shoot a lot, i only use a lot a 16gig cards. I think it's safer that way than having everything on a 32gig and whatnot. Also it's much faster when you want to transfer specific files quickly and show them to your clients.

As I said in my earlier review, this card worked great so long as it worked.
However, after no more than a couple of months, and maybe 10,000 images, the card completely failed.
I contacted SanDisk, and they said the card must have been subjected to "extreme conditions", but I don't think so. I never subjected this card to any different conditions than any of my other cards which have lasted me for years, so I guess the greater speed makes the card way more sensitive to something or other, though I can't guess what.

It is, after all, just a memory card. But saying that, it works as intended. Have shot many photos and videos with it. Nothing has been corrupted and it keeps up with the cameras write speed.

I'm using it with a Canon 5DMKII and very satisfied. So far I have not noticed buffering. Excellent speed even on Video.
SanDisk cards are very reliable - only use SanDisk and never had one failing in 4 years since I started using CF Cards (DSLR)

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card:
Using this CF card in a Canon 5D Mark II. Card speed is perfect for recording full HD video and for rapid photos (even in RAW+JPG mode). No slow-downs experienced so far.
A little more expensive than desired, but worth it for the speed and stability.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card:
This is used primarly in one of my canon EOS 5D or 7D cameras. Its is plenty fast and I havent needed to change to another for one or two sessions, although It will hold alot more, I dont think you need much more then a session, atleast I dont like to depend on one very large card. I have had other SanDick cards for a while now and havent had any problem with them.

Comments about SanDisk 16GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card:
Great speed for fast shooting and video recording on Canon 5D Mark II. I did not realize what I was missing by buying generic Compactflash cards until now. Would definitely buy more SanDisk memory cards, maybe 32GB or higher though.
