Use in Nikon D200 December 29, 2008
Sandisk Extreme III compact flash cards (at 30 mbs) are simply the best for use in the Nikon D200. Even in full continuous shooting mode, these cards keep up without a problem.
As another reviewer stated, be sure the cards you get are the 30mb per second transfer rate versus the old 20mb per second. The 10mb per second can make a difference when shooting in Nikon Raw at full blast.
I have always purchased SanDisk compact flash cards and never had a problem. However, I am hearing that an issue with fake SanDisk cards is developing and some have even reported possible, yet unconfirmed, issues with third-party provider on Amazon. To date, I do not think and allegation has been substantiated. Just be aware of this developing problem and steer clear of non-reputable online merchants.
I bought the cards at $41.00 on Amazon.
Great quality for the best price November 11, 2008

This card is fast and works very well in my wife's Canon 40D DSLR. The price was the best for any card of this speed and quality.

Perfect choice for people who are serious about their photography, faster performance than ever before (30MB/s*) when shooting, viewing, and transferring photos. Excellent for my Nikon D200, I'm very happy with this product and strongly recommend.

I started using the Ultra II cards and they are rated at about 9MB/sec and they are slow for my shooting style/use. I upgraded to the Extreme III which at the time they were rated at 20MB/s and they worked extremely well. The NEW UPGRADED versions of these cards are rated for 30MB/s, make sure you select these and not the older 20MB/s rated cards as the cost is the same and no harm in getting a little extra for no additional cost. This card is outstanding and have no complaints, considering how much they have dropped in price since they have been released it is a win/win for value/capacity/performance across the board.
Always make sure after downloading your pictures to re-format these cards IN CAMERA before re-using them and they will provide years of trouble free performance. I have dropped them (they have the scars to prove it) and still perform without a problem.For downloading the pictures from the card I recommend the Extreme III card reader, downloading files is a breeze with it!
If you are considering the IV version FIRST make sure your camera can SUPPORT IT (not all cameras can support the speed so it will be a waist of money on your part). You can always order this card from Amazon and if you need more speed then return it or keep as a spare (ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE CARD NO MATTER WHAT!-they can get lost, damaged and running around looking for a memory card on short notice can be a pain.-) and purchase the IV. Keep in mind that you will need a dedicated card reader to be able to download files from the IV at "light-speed" and be able to obtain the maximum benefit from it.
 Very good and not so expensive October 20, 2008

This is a very good memory card for advanced amateur or semi-pro digtal cameras. Although it is not as fast as the Extreme IV it costs less than half and unless you have a high-end camera you don't need that kind of speed
