Comments about SanDisk 64GB CompactFlash Memory Card Extreme 400x UDMA SDCFX-064G-A61:
I am using this card with my 5d Mark II and magic lantern custom firmware.
With magic lantern firmware you can adjust the bitrate your videos are encoded at, default is 45Mbps, with this card I can up this to over 100Mbps
With my Transcend 32GB 133x cards I could barely manage 1.3x and it was unstable. The problem is the 5dII is not designed to shoot at this increased bitrate so it doesn't have the processing power to record/encode transfer to the card.
The advantage with this card is it will allow the camera to write with audio at 1.5x which is about 70Mbps stable, if you turn the audio off you are also able to shoot 3.0x stable (average over 100Mbps) this is a higher bitrate than even Canons new ALL-I compression on the 5dIII. The assumption is processing audio at the same time is just to much for the camera to handle. It's not the raw card speed that is needed for this test so much as the cards ability to not slow the camera down.
Very happy as this card helps me to push my 5dII to the absolute limits of what it is capable of video wise.
Still picture wise it has been an extremely pleasant bonus. in continuous mode when the buffer would fill with my transcend 133x card the camera would hang, before finally continuing at a much reduced frame rate. This card eliminates that hang on buffer fill and keeps shooting, there is a gradual slow down instead of an abrupt halt. This gradual slow down is much more forgiving when shooting events and accidentally filling the buffer.

I am a videographer so this single 64GB memory card lasts me the entire day. I never have to worry about getting the message, "card full" like I used to when using the 16GB card. This CF card definitely put the power in your hands. Love It! And I got a great deal at B&H Photo too, which is the only supplier I choose when buying my photography gear & accessories. I am forever faithful to B&H.

Great card. It's fast and reliable. I've been using it for my Canon XF100 and it works great!
Haven't tried with with the slow motion feature yet though.

I'm a Lifestyle Photographer. I like to take the pics in both RAW & Jpeg. Sometimes the Jpeg is great and I dont need to process a RAW file. Anyway taking both RAW & Jpeg takes a lot of space on the Memory card. This one is nice cause I can get through a session or 2 without having to change my card! Nice for me and clients dont have to wait for me to change a card.

I'm a photographer always on the road. I needed a memory card that would allow me to take about 1000 photos with great resolution. After reading a reviews on numerous different photography equipment web sites i decided to purchase Extreme Memory Card. I have no regrets. Transfer of the images to computer is done within seconds. It is very fast not to mention the great price that i got from B&H web site. This card gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.Definitively will recommend to a friend.
