Buy this bad boy! 5 by .. Craig Hartley (Houston, TX USA)
I'm a photojournalist who bought the Lexar 16 gig UDMA card for my new Canon 5D Mark II. I've had occasion to use the card on a variety of assignments and for spot news during the Stanford Financial meltdown.

The card is perfect, never a hint of bogging down or image corruption no matter how fast I shoot. This is partly due to the camera, of course, but the fast write speed of the Lexar keeps up when shooting those massive 21 megapixel images or high def video. I also appreciate that Lexar lets you download "Image Rescue 3" for free when you buy the card.

Don't waste your money if you are using an older or "prosumer" camera; they probably will perform the same with a card costing half the price. Lexar designed this pricey bad boy for high-end pro cameras.

UPDATE: I notice Lexar has come out with a 600x that will empty the camera buffer twice as fast. (A completely full 5DII buffer will empty in eight seconds with the 300x card; it will empty in four seconds with the 600x card.) If you are shooting action/sports with RAW files, that might be the way to go. Otherwise, this 300x card will handle anything you throw at it.

Solid performer 5 by .. C. Price (Chicago)
I bought this card to use in my Canon 5D Mark II, which requires not only a lot of space to save large images, but also consistently fast write speeds for video.

If like me, you're weighing a name brand card like this Lexar vs. a cheap alternative. After all, other brands are available for less than half the price of this card. However, this price isn't just a brand premium -- this card really performs. With UDMA support (any device that can read/write a CF card will work with this card, but devices that support UDMA will do so faster) in my camera, I see a very big difference between this card and even my older "pro" level CF cards.

Compared to the older pro cards I have with 100x - 133x write speed, this card (rated 300x) really is about 3 times faster. Compared to a few cheap cards that claim to be 100-133x, this card is 6 times faster.

It's too soon for me to give a reliability rating for this card -- but given the card lives up to its claims for speed, I'm willing to bet my images and video on its reliability. And that's exactly what you'll likely be doing too!

Lexar are bullet proof CF cards. 5 by .. Wayne Miller (Clayton, CA)
I have used Lexar cards for over five years and have never had a failure. I have shoot over 100,000 images and say these cards are bullet proof.


Fast, fast, fast/good price to capacity ratio 5 by .. DigitalMan (Denver, CO)
With CF cards it is about price to capacity and write speed. This card is very fast in my D700 (i can fire pretty much continuously without any buffer delays except of course for when I use long shutter speeds and the D700 Noise reduction kicks in) and the price on Amazon was excellent for a 16GB card.
