1500 Uncompressed RAW images on my Nikon D810 approx 70 mb each This is the card I take to an event to make sure it all gets on the same card. The card is fast gets those huge files out of the buffer rather quickly when shooting at 5fps. I dont really do video but this card claims to be able to capture 4K video you have a lot of room to do it. I have shot about 800 pics on this card since I got it about a week ago with no problems, but then again I never really worry with SanDisk. Price is a little steep, but the trick is if you dont need it immediately put it in your wish list and watch it SanDisk does rebates several times a year I got this one at a great price
Gregg –
My Canon cameras use the CF format and I finally started purchasing the 32 GB size cards LOVE THEM. Never had any problems with San Disk cards. Outstanding price.
Jamin –
The card will not format. I have several of these that work fine this one seems to just be a bad one. Contacted BH about the faulty card. Havent received a response. Its a shame because they are normally great about getting back in touch. If you get a good one I have no complaints. If its not it can be a real headache.
Chris –
Handles continuous shooting with my Canon 7D Mark II like a champ. The performance is great, just like the readwrite speeds suggest.
Doug –
I purchased the 128GB Extreme Pro for my Sound Devices 633 MixerRecorder. When Im on location with long sessionsand often off of the gridproducers dont always bring a laptop to offload daily audio. If Ive flown in to the location everything has to fit in a small backpack and a small duffel bag so I cant always pack my laptop either to be totally honest as I dont like to check any of my media gear when flying. Even if a producer does bring a laptop and offloads daily audio I still want to be in possession of audio for the entire project until I can safely back up all files to multiple hard drives in my home studio in the event the client loses or accidentally deletes the projects audio files. I initially only trusted Delkin media cards, then switched to Hoodman which I feel are exceptionally reliable media cards. But I switched to using only Sound Devices recommended media cards for the 633 MixerRecorder. Im also using the Delkin Black SDXC 128 GB card in the 633 for the SD card slot for mirrored recording. I may give the SanDisk Extreme a 5 Star rating down the road if it proves to be utterly reliable as the Delkin and Hoodman cards.
Jessica –
I needed a new compact flash card like yesterday haha. B H always comes through for me whenever I need and this time was no different. This compact flash truly saved the day Thank you B H for always having this professional photographers back.
Juan –
I really love this card fast and durable. The only thing Ive found is that they dont are as fast as advertised you have to understand they test this cards with particular equipment and NOT with your every day work devices. I purchased two, and they both max out at 98 to 105 mbs with the Blackmagic app and a usb3 UMDA 7 reader… Thats why I gave 4 stars. It works just fine for ML RAW up to 108024p and you can get decent 60p resolutions. Ive done 108030p but its not that reliable nor consistent. If youre looking IMO for the best CF cards money can buy, just add to cart.
John –
Im a big fan of SanDisk Compact Flash CF cards anyway and one with this kind of capacity 256GB just makes it better Ive never had one of these fail and for a landscape photographer who sometimes photographs wildlife, theyre perfect
Gustavo –
Ive been using Sandisk CF cards since the first Canon 60D 2002. I still have 1GB cards purchased at that time and none of my cards 1GB, 2GB, 8GB, 16GB has ever failed me. I havent tried recording 4K video to these new 160MBs cards yet but I expect their performance to be extraordinary like the rest of the family. I just wish Sandisk would make a better card READER.
samuelgomper –
Like the title says I am not a big SanDisk guy I always figured why buy a Ferrari when Honda does the same job and is cheaper. I have been a Lexar guy but these memory cards are just better. I have 2 Lexar 1066x 32gb and 2 SanDisk 160mbs cards. I have since had to through the Lexar cards out. They just havent lasted, but my SanDisk cards that are way older have laster wayyy longer
kim.h –
SanDisk is really the only brand of memory card I use with my Canon SLR. Over the years, I have the best luck with these as far as performing well and not losing anything, which has happened with other brands. There are some cheaper brands out there, but I think SanDisk is worth the extra price for peace of mind.
David –
I have used SanDisk extreme pro cards in all my cameras Canon for years. Never had any issues.CompactFlash, SD, and Cfexpress.
Anne –
I just bought a Canon 5D Mark IV and need more memory space. This came carefully wrapped and, so far, works really well. I highly recommend.
blackbloodroyals –
I was a bit concerned about buying this SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Memory Card 160MBs, didnt know if it would work with Canon 5d Mark ii and if it could work with Magic Lantern and if it was reliable or not as I read a few reviews of it loosing pictures. Well it works fine with Canon 5D Mark ii and I used it to shoot raw video, which came out really nice and it didnt lose any pictures, not by luck but because I have a PC that has a Compact Flash port and I heard that people who lost their pictures used a card reader and when it wasnt fast enough it didnt show the pics that were taken, Im happy that I have a PC that allows me to insert the card directly to the PC without any card readers. Long story short, buy it without fear, its good.
Canajun –
Enough capacity to satisfy my trigger finger and so quick to process data its an amazing piece of technology. Still discovering all the wonders of this card, but so far could not be more impressed.
Chuck –
Do a lot of sports photography for the local college and 22 different sports are involved. The Extreme Pro cards are essential in keeping everything on track.
Liam –
Purchased this card to use at a family gathering. Took several hundred images with my D810 and notoriously large file size. This card performed great. It wrote quickly, even when I was shoot several frames per second. When I downloaded the files to my thunderbolt hard drive, the read time was exceptionally fast. Planning to continue using this as my primary card in my 810.
Sioned –
I need to guy more of these. I switched to using cf cards only recently and this one has had the best performance so far. Obsessed
yaqin –
I just bought this 64GB CF card received today. It is a great card and no problem to use it in D810. However, to my surprise that this card can only be read as 32GB in my D810 camera. I havent figured out how to make it to read the entire 64GB. Seems its the limitation of D800 series by Nikon. Im going to dig online for more info about it. But I thought it is useful info to put it here.
Dan –
Works flawlessly and is extremely quick. Always have used SanDisk cards and I do so because Ive never had issues with them. Price is good.
Walter –
I have just purchased a Nikon 850 camera, and this memory card was recommended and was also on sale at BH. That choice was the right one for me.Excellent product and performance.
Robert –
After trying other brands of cards, I found that SanDisk is simply the best. I have yet to have any issues with their products and this one is no different.The speeds match the description and they just work. You might be able to spend a little less for a different brand, but SanDisk cards are well worth the price so you dont lose the whole photovideo shoot.
Bear –
I have had great experiences with Sandisk Cards in general since I stared using them with the Kodak Cameras in the 90s. When ever I have gone to cheaper brands on average, I experience a greater failure rate by far. I have have used them in all climates and have have plenty of memory cards on hand so I do not completely fill them.I currently use the 256GB Extreme Pro on still cameras that are 30 and 50mp cameras. One Still camera I use for video sometimes at 500mps, so the larger cards come in handy.
Eric –
The SanDisk Extreme Pro has been reliable and a never fail performer since I returned to photography with a 64GB for the Canon 5DMII and later upgrading to this 128GB for the Canon 5DMIV and more recently the Canon 5DS R.
Ester –
Excellent CF Drives for your cameraI love these drives from SanDisk. I have purchased many over the years and have never had any issues with these drives. I take thousands of photos a year and these are my main goto drives for my camera.
Karl –
This is my goto memory card. Always reliable with quick imaging during shoots. Recommend.
Larry –
I bought this card for use with my Canon EOS 5DS R camera. It works very well and is faster than my SDXC cards. I am still a fan of CompactFlash memory cards.
KT –
Im a mountain landscape photographer living in Colorado with 45 years experience and I stand by all of the SanDisk products I have ever used. I presently have more than 20 of their memory cards in use and each has stood up without fail to every temperature and altitude swing Ive encountered. Each of my cards have also withstood and continued thru numerous reformats. Highly recommended PSas you may have already guessed BH Always has the best prices.
Jennifer J –
Nice upgrade from the 32 or 64 GB Compact Flash card which I usually use to shoot digitally. The ability to transfer images speedily is also nice. I havent had any file corruption issues either although I wish like on older ScanDisk cards there was a line to label or put a name or identity on. Otherwise great purchase and Id buy again.
Steve –
Another great memory card by SanDisk I bought two of them for my Nikon D3X and continuous shooting with it is no problem for these cards. It really lives up to the Extreme PRO name Would definitely buy these and any other CompactFlash or SD memory card from SanDisk again
NANCY –
SanDisk is my goto company for memory cards. I use these CF cards in my Canon 5D, and I use SD cards in a different camera. This CF card stores over 1100 photos, both RAW and high resolution JPG shot together. The cards record quickly, and the image quality is excellent. Ive never had a SanDisk memory card fail on me.
SRShilling –
This is the best CF card Ive used, hands down. The readwrite speeds make short work of card dumps and help keep my workflow steadily moving. The cards themselves are incredibly reliable in all weather conditions from the terribly humid to the dryasabone. I used these cards for burst shooting because the buffer is excellent but I primarily purchased them for filming with my 5D Mark III w ML hack and the 169 1920×1080 14bit video means sometimes Im recording 115 MBs. These cards have never let me down, never dropped a single frame and I can also record uncompressed .wav files along side them. I never hesitate to recommend the exact SanDisck CF cards to those I feel would benefit them, or other, less intense SanDisk CF cards to those who dont need such blistering readwrite speeds.
Julie –
I bought this to use with my D810. The first card was defective my camera wouldnt even function when I inserted the card. BH was great and promptly exchanged it for a new one, which works like a charm. I like the speed for action bursts. I would recommend, and plan to get another. I didnt take off a star for the defective one since I assume that any brand would have some glitchy ones, and the issue was resolved in a satisfactory manner Thanks, BH
Earl –
I have ordered these in the past and they are all I use. Solid price so I bought two, used them all last week shooting tournament games, did well.
Rudy –
It seems that the memory card has a problem. When I plug it in the camera the camera stops working. All I get is a blank screen and nothing works. I tried things that I found on the internet to fix the problem but none of them worked. When the card is removed the camera works just fine. Sorry about the rating, I have never had a problem before with any product that I have purchased from you in the past. What should I do
Charles –
I bought an Nikon D810 camera along with a 64gb card here, and I had to return the D810 because there were issue with the camera or maybe the card. The camera stopped working. I changed CF cards to see if it was the card, but it didnt change the camera not working err problem. Then I got a replacement D810 camera, used the same 64gb card, did fine today taking photos, but upon uploading, the card quit uploading half way through. Now Im thinking maybe the card is bad too. My nikon D4 says the 64gb card is not able to be read. First time my scandisk cards had an issue. I will send in for replacement since I just bought the card, hopefully scandisk will replace it. I still like the cards, but this one was a dud, which is why Im generous in giving it a 4star.
Sharon –
Ive used the 64 GB SanDisk for event photography since they were introduced. They are great for sports photography
PAUL –
Ive had two recent dealings with a representative named Meyer. I dont remember his last name. He worked with me when I bought a camera from you. He was courteous and professional. When I received the camera it didnt have a memory card. So, when I called back to order one. I specifically asked for Meyer. and he took care of everything right away. I would recommend Adorama to anyone.
Canajun –
Enough capacity to satisfy my trigger finger and so quick to process data its an amazing piece of technology. Still discovering all the wonders of this card, but so far could not be more impressed.
ETHAN –
These SanDisk memory cards are my goto for fast readwrite speeds and rock solid, corruptionresistant construction. But Im not the only one Ive worked in feature film television production for the last nineteen years, and I have seen and used these specific cards this brand and model on literally every single shoot for cable network shows in the past five years. Dont waste your time with any other. If its good for the pros, for quality and durability, its good for you.
Rebecca –
Purchased 2 of these cards. The first card was corrupt straight out of the package and the second failed in the middle of uploading my photos. Cost over 500 to recover less than half of the photos, and of those recovered photos most were damaged. DO NOT TAKE THE RISK. BUY A DIFFERENT CARD
Jeffrey –
I use my CF cards in a Nikon D800 and D700. Ive been using Extreme Pro cards for many years in a number of different iterations with never a problem. I like the heavy duty construction, the weather sealing and temperature range the cards can withstand. To me, the extra build quality justifies the price, and the speed continues to exceed my needs mostly still shooting, but with bursts of 8 framessecond on the D700. I bought a competing brand that was specd higher and was cheaper, and low and behold after one year it suddenly lost the directory on the card. I had to recover the files, which you may know takes many hours on a large card. So I bought Sandisk again and I trust this brand and model.
Charles –
I have a Nikon 810 and it uses Compact Flash for the second card slot. I purchased two Compact Flash cards last year. I felt it was important to rotate the oldest one out of service. SanDisk is the recommended brand from Nikon, and they have never been a problem. Unlike some lesser brands.
Bob –
I purchased this CF card in order to do stills and short videos of a project I am working on. I am using a Canon 7D camera and a 100 mm Canon macro lens to record life forms appearing from soils Ive collected from Nevadas playas dry lake beds. I would like to upload a photo but am not familiar with your method.
Marshall –
I purchased this product for my Canon EOS 7D camera, and tested it to see how it compared to my existing 16 GB SanDisk Extreme 60 MBs CompactFlash card. I like to shoot baseball, and I wanted to know if the 160 MBs card could capture a higher frame rate or a larger number of frames than the 60 MBs card.You can read this entire review, but heres the conclusion In a Canon EOS 7D with the firmware 2.0.3 latest, with UDMA support, the 60 MBs and 160 MBs cards performance is virtually identical, and the 160 MBs feature is not worth the increased cost. I experienced no difficulties or compatibility problems whatsoever with either card. I formatted both cards in the camera, mounted it on a tripod, and adjusted the camera for highest frame rate performance. I then photographed the iPhone Stopwatch app at highest speed, RAWonly, until capture speed was noticeably reduced. I performed each test at least three times. Variance between tests was minimal.Using the 160 MBs card, I can capture 23 RAW images in three seconds. In the fourth second, frame rate noticeably deteriorates to two to four fps. One second its four, another its 2, another its 3, etc..Using the 60 MBs card, I can capture 21 to 23 RAW images usually 21 in three seconds. In the fourth second, frame rate noticeably deteriorates to two to four fps. Although this faster card does provide a measurable difference in frame rate, I think it is insignificant.I also measured buffer flush times, and here the difference was substantial. I captured a burst for about 4 seconds, and then I stopped capturing and I timed how long the red write LED flashed. In this test, the 160 MBs card was dramatically better While the slow card took 9.7 seconds to finish writing data, the 160 MBs card took 6 seconds. This means After shooting a burst, your 7D is ready for more photos about four seconds sooner if you use the 160 MBs card. This might be significant to some photographers. And, of course, copying 32 GB of data to your PC will probably be much faster with the 160 MBs card, as long as you have a high quality USB 3.0 card reader my Mac only has USB 2, so I could not test this.For my needs, I should have saved my money and purchased a 60 MBs or 90 MBs card, but I am going to keep this card and the old card will be my backup. No complaints whatsoever about this product, but my recommendation would be to buy an Extreme or Extreme Pro 90 MBs model for this camera.Final comments First, SanDisk has three kinds of Extreme cardsExtreme 60 MBsExtreme Pro 90 MBsExtreme PRO 160 MBsB H does a great job of letting you know which SanDisk card youre buying. does a poor job, with pricing and markings that dont make sense. I do not recommend buying this product from , because its hard to know what youre buying.I hope youve enjoyed my test results. If you have a different camera model, such as a 5D Mark iii, do not assume that your results will be the same. Different camera models have different CPUs, so your performance may be very different.
Roy M. –
Having used most brands of memory cards SanDisk, Lexar, Delkin, Hoodman and others, SanDisk seems to be the one that never breaks down, even when shooting RAW stills at 10 frames per second. Professionally, I cannot shoot a subject for a day or longer and find that my CF is junk and the time spent getting the shot was a waste of time. More expensive Yep. Worth it Darn right
amy.b –
My Canon camera takes this card. You can take lots… of pictures on it. Never have had any issues with it. I buy a lot of SanDisk products. Very affordable.
Michael –
Have used for almost 3 years. Now have 4 128 gig cards plus 2 64 gig cards so I can record video too. Have not tried video yet, but card well above required speed.
PAGAVIN –
These are great cards, built like tanks. Certainly a bump up in price compared to the SD cards, but well worth it. I upgraded to a D800e, which takes both CF and SD cards. I decided to go with Extreme Pro for both because they are so reliable. Never had an issue, and for mission critial shoots I dont want the stress that a cards going to dump on me. The only problem is the file size for full resolution is so large Im going to need a lot more cards. This is a better value than the 64gb.
Steven –
I used these in my Canon 5D Mark III and now in my Canon 5D Mark IV. They are fast and most importantly 100 reliable in my experience. Ive never had one fail. I dont take them into extreme conditions of heat or cold, nor into harsh environments like desert sand or tropical humidity. So, I cant speak to those conditions, but in my everyday use yearround in the midAtlantic part of the US, travel to Europe, and Asia their performance is excellent. I highly recommend them.
GREGG –
Why not purchase a larger size cardRemember when 4 GB was the large card When the price dropped i got three.Never had a problem with San Disk Extreme Pro cards the 32 GB size is more manageable.Highly recommend.
Robin –
SanDisk has never, ever, let me down. I trust them unequivocally. Extreme Pro provides the readwrite speeds we desire without the misleading statements that are so popular with manufacturers. Design and construction are first rate. Money well spent.
Simon –
I use this in my new Canon 7D Mark II for still shooting havent gotten to video yet, but will be once I am up the learning curve on still shooting. While I prefer the SD card format I had been using in my previous Canon 70D, I got this for the benefit of having a second card in the camera. The 7D has a slot for one CF and one SD card. Why I dont know, I would prefer two SD card slots. In my 7D I can get about 30 frames in continuous highspeed burst mode with this 160MBs CF card before the buffer fills and the rate starts to hiccup. The rate with a SanDisk ExtremePRO 95MBs class 10 SD card card is identical. So no performance improvement over the SD card, but I do have the benefit of a second card in the camera for volume.
Eric –
This is the best deal up until this point everyone has paid more than you have for these things. Moors Law still working after all these years. In 2010, I bought several 32gig Scandisk Extreme Pro CF cards that did 90 MBsecond were from BH for each. Last week I bought these 64gig Scandisk Extreme Pro CF cards that do 160 MBsecond for each. Lucky me bargain. The ol 32s are still going after heavy usage.
Kris –
Ive used SanDisk cards in all my digital cameras and not one has ever failed me. Im not a pro, but the 64GB card is more than enough for an entire week of my photos in a 30 mpix body.
John –
I have purchased a lot of SanDisk cards over the years, from back when a 4 GB card was HUGE. They have always worked well in every camera I have used them in. The only reason that I replace them is to get something faster as technology advances, or to get something with more capacity as prices fall. These 128GB CF cards work well in my Canon 5DS and 5D mark iv. I dont take video, but they give me consistent fast writes for both RAW and JPG files.
hope.g –
Love this memory card. It keeps up with my camera and I have not experienced any issues with it. Something I dont like about it is that I had to buy an adapter so that I could transfer the photos onto my computer. I use this card as a backup when my other card is full in my camera.
Stephen –
Easy to order, good price, fast delivery. This Memory Card I always buy even though I dont have a chance to use it yet. Definely its a good product.
Craig –
I come from using SD card for photography and putting this in my 5d mkiii I noticed how much faster my burst mode was with raw photos. Also it feels much more sturdy than the sd cards.
Paul –
During the the film era, you always had to very mindful of how many shots you had available. But with this card there is no concern. I have the ability with a freshly formatted card to capture over 9,000 images on my Canon EOS 7D mark II. This is a great companion to the battery grip. No longer will I miss a shot due to running out of storage. Since I tend to operate 10fps this becomes very important.No more should have, could have, would haves….
Rebecca –
This card reader is everything I need as a wedding photographer writes quickly to keep up with me and holds enough for an entire wedding day. One less thing I need to think about so I can focus on capturing the unfolding story in front of me.
Gregg –
My first 4 GB card cost 200 and I had three today I purchased two 32 GB cards 34.99 each for unlimited photo taking reserves. These two are backup cards just in case. I like the CF size cards. I have always purchased San Disk memory cards. I trust BH Photo and San Disk and Canon cameras. When I take photos I have a prime Canon 7D and a backup Canon 7D just in case. Thank you.
Libby –
Another great flash card from SanDisk. My Nikon 810 has on slot for a SD card and another for a CF card. I have never had an issue with any of SanDisks products so why mess with a good thing
Doug –
I recently purchased a new Sound Devices 633 mixerrecorder. Ive always been a diehard Hoodman media storage card fanand I still am. The Hoodman cards have provided me years of reliable service with zero card failures and they are made in the USA. That being said Sound Devices is adament on consumers only using approved media storage cards that they have benchmark tested and approved. The Sandisk Extreme Pro Cards are at the top of the list. I run 64 GB Extreme Pro CF and SDXC cards in my 633. I keep a 32 GB Extreme Pro CF and SDXC card in the bag for back ups. When I get five years of problem free service from these cards Ill bump my four star rating up to five stars.
PhotoSpydie –
I purchased this card to use in my Nikon D800. I shoot a lot of timelapse images . . . up to the full 999 and the files on this 36megapixel camera are large. To get the interval I wanted I needed a card that could handle large files quickly and not allow the camera to fill its buffer. This card works very well. All files are written with no delay, increasing my chances of obtaining a smooth timelapse. Another advantage is the download speed of the card. With so many large files to process, it is nice to have a card that can match the speed of a USB 3 on a fully loaded Mac. Workflow becomes so much faster and fun. I will be purchasing an additional card.
brittany.l –
I bring a new one every place I travel so that my photos are saved on a SD card and itemized by place in the lazy person style filing system lol. I purchase the 16 GB not the 32. The extreme pro works great for my Nikon DSLR d3300.

I am an extreme hobbyist who shoots 50,000 75,000 pictures a year. Mostly high school sports for a website and also for local news paper. I have used the same 16 GB and 8 GB SanDisc Extreme Pro cards in my 7Ds for the past 5 years with no issues. I keep the 16 GB in my 7D with 70200 2.8 lens and the 8 GB in my other 7D with 2470 2.8 lens. I typically fill both cards every game and immediately go home, down load and erase for the next game. Some weeks we have several games per week which means thousands of down loads and erases each week. My SanDisc cards are very reliable, never any issues. I just purchased a new 32 GB Extreme Pro to add to my capacity. Took it to State Finals and it performs as expected. I have never used any other brand of card than SanDisc. I have also never had any issues with SanDisc they are reliable cards.
Allen –
I hate that my 5d IV uses these cards because they are so expensive and SD cards are now just as fast. With that said these are great cards. Super fast and Ive never had one fail on me yet. I do replace them quite regularly though as we are wedding photographers and cant afford to have a card fail at the wrong time.
coyoterabbit –
I already had two of these to use in my Canon 5D Mark III, as Sandisk is well known to be the most reliable and fastest compact flash card available. I set it to write only to CF card and leave the SD empty, so the camera writes at its fastest speed. The 5D Mark III will default writing to the slowest cards speed and thats always the SD. Thats why I dont use one. Im so happy with this CF card that I bought two more to assure Im not caught short on the memory. IMHO theyre simply the best available at any price and a bargain for me.
Mark –
I had been using SD cards in my 5D3, but read that CF cards were quite a bit faster, so I bought this one for times when I need to shoot bursts. The difference between this and SD cards is amazing it formats in an instant and can shoot far more RAW photos in a burst before the camera starts to slow down. I prefer the convenience of SD cards since my laptop has a builtin reader for them whereas I have to use an adapter for this, but if speed is an issue, this is the best way to ensure that I dont miss the shot.
andrea.d –
Havent had a single problem with this one. Fast and gets the job done Doesnt slow my camera down at all which is very important particularly for wedding days. I pair it with the SD card version of it and save simultaneously to both for backup.
AllOccasion –
I have been using these for over 6 years in business, taking over 50,000 photos a year and have had great results each and every time. Reliable, fast and affordable, plus the quality makes these last years. Will always but sandisk only
sharp –
I originally had this for years for fast video. I recently misplaced it and wanted a spare if i dont find it. The original cost me 600. This was a bargain in comparison. It lasted a long time but I am sure Ill find it.
Nibu –
I lied. I have to offload sometimes. But with 64 GB of space, I pretty much always have space for whatever I want to capture. It is awesome. I have not had problems with this card, which is good, because its a CF card. What kind of problems is that going to have Especially when its the Extreme Pro series. At that price, it had better work. I dont really notice blazing fast speeds, but I also dont notice any limitations. The card says 160 MBs, and I see no reason to doubt it. I havent tested its durability because I dont know why I would.
James –
Sandisk CF is excellent memory was at a reasonable price. BH still sticks CF memory when all local outlets do not bother anymore.
Boston –
Perfect CompactFlash for use with Canon 5D Mark IV. Fast readwrite speeds allow for good buffer. Always buy the best memory cards possible
George –
Purchased for use in a D810. Upgraded from a Hoodman Steel 32 GB 1000x The camera recognized the card right out of the box. Took some shots , no problem. Stuck the battery grip on, loaded an ENEL15 battery into the grip, set the capture mode to continuous high, pushed the shutter button. Held it down until I lost count. Took 30 shots and the camera never even slowed down. Awesome card.

have been shooting for 35 years, shooting digital since it was born. never had a card issue. in 30 days had 2 lexar cards corropted. thankfully i had purchased some recovery software to recover. threw about 400 worth of cards in the trash, so i would not be tempted to try again, now i shoot a CF Sd card for redundancy. shooting canon 5dsr. switched to 5DSRs in last 6 months hopefully not a camera or reader issue. use to shoot 1DS 1dx models. spend a ton of on camera glass to only cheap out on reader or card doesnt make sense.

Over the years Ive tended to look for use equipment products that provide me with the best, most dependable service One such product has been the SanDisk Memory Cards Both, the Compact Flash versions, the SD versions have been, continue to be my Memory Cards of choice. The speed ratings have changed over the years, but not the brand of choice. I want the feeling of assurance that whatever I record, will be faithfully durably reproduced at the best quality speed available. Now the choice of purchase is dependent on several issues pricing, dependability of service delivery. In this case BH met those expectations then some, with a price that no one else was able to meet, the other issues are always there to be counted on

I like to shoot with several smaller cards vs. 1 large card. This card holds plenty for me and at the price, I have several in my bag

I use the Sandisk 160MBs 64GB Extreme Pro CF card in my D800 paired with a 95MBs SD card backing up in the secondary slot. I shoot weddings primarily and saving to RAW files and when youre using the D800 you really need the fastest card with as much space as possible when shooting multiple frame bursts in moments that cannot be repeated. Having said that, even though most of my shots during a shoot have enough time between each photo to not really need this card. It gives you a lot of confidence knowing that when something spontaneous happens that you wont hit that wall where the cameras buffer is full waiting to write to the card. Do yourself a huge favour and invest in the fastest memory cards from reliable brands like Sandisk. You owe it to your clients to make sure you dont miss those crucial moments.
Matthew –
These cards are great They hold a lot of info, and are quite reliable. Never had a failed card Always carry a back up, as one should, but in my experience they always proved to be very reliable

This memory card brand has been a staple for me and my studio for years now. I have used their SDHC cards since they first hit the scene and loved them. Now that I have grown as a business and upgraded to Nikons D4S cameras, I thought I would stay with SanDisk for they have never failed me before. These memory cards read and write faster than ANY card I have used in the past. They are able to keep up with the high frame rate and file size of full size RAW files that the D4s puts out. I have yet to fill the buffer on my camera I do understand that it is very large but the pause in shooting that I have in sports I have yet to even challenge the buffer in my studio sessions and portraits the card catches up in no time. The number of shots that I can hold per card 32 GB at full RAW uncompressed is 866. More than enough room for me and anything that I will use the camera for. As for the transfer speed from card to computer I use the Lexar Pro workflow hub and readers is the fastest that have ever dealt with. Bottom line, if you are looking for a card that will meet your needs and leave you room for expansion in your work or creative skill set this card is one you should strongly consider.
David –
I just returned from a week long trip to Yellowstone and I captured almost 3000 photos on this card and they all came out great when transferred to my computer. This is the performance I have come to expect from SanDisk and the Extreme Pro. B H did their usual great job getting this card to me timely.
Curtis –
I recently purchased a new camera body and with RAW file types and 7 fps burst I need a fast and high capacity card. This has been able to handle both requirements without having to wait for the next shot.
Renee –
I got this card just for my new grandbaby due in April. I went to use it on the delivery day it would not work. These are the cards Ive used for 10 plus years. I havent been able to contactreturn due to Covid19. I will try to contact BH tomorrow. Im sure they will help me get another card.
Johan –
Very good price on the Cards that I needed. Really fast post all the way to me here in New Zealand . Always worth keeping an eye out for quality items and great service. Items are always really well boxed up. So well done team

I have been using Sandisk products for all my cameras and never had a failure. I have had other cards from another company that had failed to record a sequence of images. When it comes to recording media, Sandisk is my Go to company.
James –
I have at least 5 of these in my camera bag actually backpack. You just never know when you need a spare because you left the last one you were using in the PC when downloading the last job, or the one you are using fills up, or in the rare case that there is a failure only happened once on a 16GB card. These are great CF cards. I use them in my Canon 5D Mark III. They are very fast. Every photographer should have several
Allan –
Ive been using Extreme III CF cards at 30 Mbs for video capture. I frequently need to transfer the raw files to a computer at the end of the shoot and hoped this would speed up that task. Obviously, actual transfer speed is dependent on the connection between the card reader and and the computer, but I observed a great improvemnet. It took me only 2 minutes to transfer what had taken 8 minutes with the Extreme III card. BTW, the older cards, bought in 20092010 cost ea, so I consider this Pro card to be a real value The SanDisk reliability is demonstrated in that all 6 of my older cards are still in use. The one negative I noticed is that the Pro card does feel a lot warmer after being read than the older cards, so reliability may be more of an issue.
laura.s –
The 32 flash cards are the ones that I have most or use the most. They have to be from Sandisk because the quality is just there for this product. Plus the price is another example on why I love this product. I highly recommend this product.
Cholly –
I bought this card for use in conjunction with the Canon 5D MKIII. It has been a great companion to the camera. The card has not had any trouble keeping up with the speed in which the camera takes video. Ive been using SanDisk Memory Cards for 6 years and have never had a card problem. There has never been anything about SanDisk Memory Cards that I have ever disliked. My experience with SanDisk is that they make great memory cards and I look forward to continued utilization of their products for years to come.
Juliet –
Love this memory card Enough space to cover back to back portrait sessions or a long event. Quick to upload files to my computer for culling and editing
Joseph –
I have this card loaded in a Canon EOS 5D MK IV where it works perfectly. No muss, no fuss, good price. Buy one see for yourself. You wont regret it.
Rich –
I shoot on the Nikon D810 which when shooting RAW can produce files around 3545mb. I switched from a Sandisk Extreme SD card to this CF card, and there is clearly a difference. I have yet to try shooting continuous and seeing how many shots I can get before the camera buffer runs out. However the two events at which I did use this CF card, I did not have any issues of the buffer filling up while shooting. So far Im very happy with the card.
Deane –
This is not my first Sandisk product. I have several Sandisk SD cards and one Sandisk 128gb CF card. No problems with any of them. On a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park, I did, however, run out of memory on my 128gb CF card. Too mays geyser videos I suppose. I opted to upgrade to a new 256gb Sandisk CF card. I have not been sorry, as it functions flawlessly every time I use it. If there was anything that might be considered a problem with this card, it is the fact that neither of my two card readers would read the card. I upgraded to the Sandisk Imagemate All In One USB 3.0 card reader and no more problems. I am extremely pleased with this 256gb CF card, as I have been with previous Sandisk cards. Keep up the good work Sandisk. Kudos to BH also, for their great service and prompt shipping and customer care.
John –
After having problems with another card I purchased this CF card. It works very well in both my D300 and D800 cameras. The speed for rapid shooting of action events is fantastic. at 6 frames per second I capture all of the motion and action of the events. I will likely purchase another card once I get more funds.
Theodore –
Its always painful to buy the newest, fastest card out and this one is no exception. Having just bought the Canon 5DM4 though, I needed the capacity speed for the 4K video file sizes and write speeds. Excellent performance on the video front and you can shoot thousands of stills and never fill it up. The controllers on these cards do have superior performance for a price. If I were just shooting stills though, Id recommend several smaller capacity cards same brand extreme pro so you can swap out cards often and not have all your images on the same one. That being said, Ive used Sandisk CF cards for over 12 years now and have never had one fail me.
James W. –
I bought this card with the thought of using it for MagicLantern. Its fast, but Id like a faster card to sustain higher bitrates during writes. In retrospect, I would have held off and waited for the prices of the 1200X cards to come down. I cant really knock this card because I am really pushing the boundaries of the camera and card. Another thought would have purchased the 64 gig card for testing before investing in such a large card. If you are using this card for nonraw video, this will do an excellent job. I was able to continue burst firing a Canon 5D, large Raw and jpg files. It slowed down a litlle but never stopped firing.
Frank C –
I have used nothing but SanDisk memory cards for over ten years. Through numerous cameras and tens of thousands of images I have yet to have one fail me. I ordered this one along with my Canon 1DXMk2 body. I have only been using them about ten days but so far am completely satisfied. The card has performed flawlessly including during high speed continuous shooting.
heather.w –
I have many many Sandisk cards for my photography and my cameras. I have no yet had one fail me after several years of use over and over again they are the perfect cards I recommend buying one for any DSLR, or Mirrorless camera you own that requires an SD card.
Robert –
I use this mostly with a Canon 7DII for bird photography, and occasionally take short videos. It has sufficient capacity to hold several days shooting, so its great for being out in the field without download capability. I have three that I use for long trips. Its fast enough to record videos easily.
Scott –
I love these cards they are so fast, works well with my Canon 5D mark iV, and the storage is great so that my cards dont run out so fast. A quality and reliable product.
Guadalupe –
SanDisk cards are my first choice for memory cards. They are flawless, great performers that have not let me down.I got this card for my first foreign country trip two years ago. To minimize instances of a bad shot, most of my picturetaking was in bracketed photos. Due to my excitement of so many things to capture, I took a lot of shots of this and then that and in large RAW files. Some were taken in foggy mists and some in rain.Having traveled without a method to back up my files, I was very happy to return home and find that all 1600 plus shots were without writing errors.I join in with the thousands of users who recommend SanDisk Compact Flash memory cards. I have not been disappointed.
G. Alan –
I shoot a great deal of RAW imagery using a Canon 5D Mark III, from landscapes where set up and timing can be everything, to conferences and special events where available time is limited, lighting conditions can be less than optimal, and response time must be fast. So the last thing I want to worry about are my memory cards. And this card has never been a source of worry. Reliability is everything Honestly, I have been using SanDisk cards for years and they have never failed me. Perhaps Im just fortunate, but its a fact. And the Extreme Pro has been no exception. Ill be heading for Scotland this summer, and you can be certain that this card and a few other SanDisk cards will be making the trip.
Thomas –
Bought it for my Canon 5DIV. Love the speed as its buffer is greater than SD cards which I use as a backup. As file sizes keep getting bigger and bigger find that I too need to adapt. Highly reccomend this as Ive never had any issues with Sandisk CF cards whereas I have 3 Lexars that died on me the past 2 years.
Ken –
I have been using the SanDisk Compact Flash and SD memory cards, mostly Extreme Pro version, for more than 10 years and have never had a malfunction or lost data photos. They have been cost effective, fast and reliable during use in 6 different Canon 35mm film and digital cameras. Most have been the Extreme Pro memory cards.Using these cards, including formatting them via the Canon cameras, and only using a separate device to transfer the photos to a computer, not transferring from the cameras, have been 100 successful. While a transfer device has failed to readwrite photos to the computer a couple times, the card was not affected.KB
FREDERICK –
I always always… use SanDisk Extreme Pro cards in all of my cameras.This 64gb card is the perfect size and speed for my Nikon D5 and D4s bodies. I can shoot all day on a single card and not come close to filling it.Most importantly, not a single SanDisk Extreme Pro Card has ever failed me. You often read that its not IF your card will fail, only When.. that statement haunts me, but I am happy to say that over the past 8 years, not a single SanDisk card has failed to perform and has never lost date.I opted for the double CF card version of the D5 and am very VERY happy with these cards.Definitely recommend them. Side note, never ever fill your card all the way and always format in camera before beginning your photo sessions. Youll have trouble free performance each and every time.
Carrie –
Ive used SanDisk for many years, and am impressed with the reliability of their compact flash cards. This compact flash records quickly. The 128 gb is a great size. The price is right.

I was initially looking for a good card to shoot 4K footage with , when I went into BH the representative assisted me in finding the httpswww.bhphotovideo.comcproduct1000364REGsandisksdcfxps128ga46128gbextremeprocompact.htmlAnd when I used it this weekend in my 5d Iv it worked as was stated. I was thoroughly pleased with its performance and would recommend. It gave me around 30 mins of continuous record time without buffering
Mike –
So nice to pop this into my 1DX2 and see 7414 come up as the number of RAW pictures that can be stored on it. Wish Id had this when we spent 3 weeks in Alaska. Every night was spent dumping pictures off my 32Gb cards onto my laptop to make room for the next day. This should be a vast improvement. Ill buy at least one more.

I have used Lexar and Sandisk pretty much interchangeably. However, I will now be sticking with Sandisk. They both work as advertised and they both, sometimes, fail. I earlier had a Sandisk CF card fail and I had to send it it and they sent me a new one. No problem. I more recently had a Lexar disk fail. It turns out that their lifetime warranty is meaningless. They delayed answering emails. They wanted an original purchase receipt and other annoyances. I gave up trying to return it under warranty which is probably the reason for the ridiculous hurdles they put in the way. I also gave up purchasing their brand.
DEBORAH –
Ive used Sandisk Extreme Pro for years and love them. The only time Ive ever had one fail is when my camera went for a swim. Even then the Sandisk Extreme Pro SD survived and I didnt lose any images. I highly recommend these cards
paul –
Bought this as an upgrade to another CF card for my 7D. I shoot swimming so speed is essential in writing. It delivered super fast bursts and allowed my camera to work at max speed. Paired with the latest USB cord and and interface, I am able to get 700R Raw pics uploaded to my mac in 3min.
John –
With all the brands of memory cards I have tried I find San Disk to be the best. They are durable, they last and if you have problems retrieving data that is usually not a problem, nor has it ever been for me. Now their customer service number in India is another matter altogether. But for the piece of mind and money, San Disk memory cards is the best on the market.
Haycraft –
Great product. I photograph birds in flight and on one outing ran out of space on my extreme pro and switched to another brand memory card I had with me. I immediately noticed a drop in write speed and missed more than a few shots that I cant get back. Wont leave home without my Extreme pro.
Francois –
I have run a gamut of Sandisk and competitions cards and only the Sandisk have lasted without ever having anyroblems. I still have 8 Sandisk Ducati Edition 8 Gig cards that are 8 years old that still work well and still relatively fast. Buy the fastest cards you can get, they are usually better using the newest technology buit will usually be fast enough for new products 2, 3 or more years down the road. And imediatly they are fast when shooting or filming but the transfer speeds to the computer using USB3 or Thunderbolt using a good fast card reader are amazing making these worth every penny.
Tony –
I shoot a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. This card holds up to 5,444 images shooting in highquality RAW, or 4,479 in HQ RAW and large JPG. Shooting at maximum speed 7fps at 1100, the card will write 30 HQ RAW continuous before buffering to about 1fps which it will sustain indefinitely. At 1400, this only decreases to 17 frames before buffering. The recovery time is also impressive, at only about 2.8 seconds to clear the buffer and restore fullspeed write capability.
Pamira –
My Nikon D800 eats up a ton of memory fast. Photographing babies, kids, and sometimes having backtoback sessions, I worry about running out of CF card memory while shooting. 64GB SanDish is a fast card. Works just as well as all the previous SanDisk CF cards Ive owned and used for years. Pricy but if you know youll need multiples of 16GB cards or 32GB cards, you may as well have a 64GB card in your camera. but still always carry a backup Especially if you will be on the road for a few days, you will need all the storage you can get in one card.

Ive used Sanders memory cards for the past 36 years shooting both professionally and nonprofessionally and its my main go to as a memory card choice. Ive only had one failure during all those years.

I bought two 32GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Memory Card 160MBs. All of my CompactFlash Memory Cards are SanDisk. I recently used the cards with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV SLR and a Canon EOS1D Mark III 10.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera cameras. I have utilized them shooting afternoon D3 collegiate football games. I shot both game via jpg Large format. I had no buffering issues, even with 510 images bursts. Because of excellent past experiences with SanDisk Compact Flash cards, I will continue to endorse their usage.
Nicholas –
This is the best 64 GB CompactFlash card you can buy. Thats pretty much all there is to say. They store 64 GB. They are the fastest you can get. They are wellbuilt. Honestly, I left one in a pocket once and it came out of the washer and drier working perfectly, still with all of my photos on it. But this card in whatever size you need, but dont get anything else.
canonshooter –
Ive been using SanDisk CF cards for 12 years and absolutely no problem with any of them until now. I just had my second 32 gig SD CF Extreme Pro card poop out on me. The problem has been the same with both. I cant get my photos off the card in one shot. It will upload about 50 photos and stall. I have to turn off the upload and start again. It will upload about 50 more and then stop. Over and over and over….. Trying the 64 gig to see if its any better. What a big fat disappointment
Gregory –
Now that many photographers rely on a card capacity for both stills and video, I have found this card to work flawlessly on all but the most data hungry gear eg medium format where the 300 MBs is better, but alas still more expensive. For single image capture this card works fine.
Allen –
I hate that 5dmiv uses CF cards but these are the fastest most reliable around. 10s of thousands of shutter clicks with these cards and never had a failure. 64GB size is perfect for us on wedding day.
lisa.l –
Never left for a photo shoot without SanDisk pro in my Camera . In 13 yrs I have never once lost data or had a card fail on me . Also I love that I can shoot in raw format and not run out of space . This brand and these cards have truly exceeded my expectations Highly recommend

This is only one the few CF card out there that can record 1080p RAW with Magic Lantern. Sandisks are pricey but very reliable from my experience and consistent. The Lexars are good but Ive read a few reports they die after a year. Dont even go the Komputerbay route. Its too much of a gamble for me. I want to go out and shoot stuff not do benchmarks. If you are going to shoot full HD raw video with magic lantern, this is the card to get. Not worth the time to cheap out. The only con with this card is the price. I can get 256gb SSD for the price of this CF card. Ugh.
Feline and Family Photographer –
Wow…what a difference the speed capabilities this card makes with my continuous shoot mode I used to get very frustrated with my Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB 90MBs when shooting in this mode. The constant busy signal kept me from getting those perfect candid shots my customers so desired. Now I capture these moments effortlessly. As to the transfer speed, I used to walk away from my computer due to time constraints. Now with faster transfer capabilities I am able to start utilizing my photos within Photoshop in a matter of minutes. My only regret is that I didnt purchase this compact flash card much sooner Look at all those potential candid photos I missed

Eight months ago I took a bird workshop and came prepared with four 16 gig cards. We were fortunate to have great bird activity and I wound up with not enough memory. I was lucky to be able to buy two more 16 gig cards and thought that would do it. Things got even better the next day and I ran out of memory AGAIN. So, as soon as I could, I bought two 64 gig Extreme Pro cards. I shoot all day now, usually without having to change cards, and with these blazing fast write speeds I have never yet had to wait for buffering to catch up, and Im shooting at 6 fps more often than not. Worrying about memory just doesnt exist anymore. This was a good decision.
DAVID –
The SanDisk ExtremePro CFC is just the right item I needed for my Canon 5D MK IV. Ive only had this for a couple of weeks, but just finished a shoot that allowed me to put place a high demand on this memory card. It works like a champ and gives me the speed I need for up and download requirements.I dont know how it works over time, but am very pleased with this purchase.
Curtis –
I took thousands of photos at an air show I recently attended with many being at high fps to capture jets passing by. I did not have any issues with buffering even though I was using RAW for all images. While I did some deletions on the fly, at 64gb I did not run out of space.

failed in a 5D3 while shooting in Tanzania. 5D mark iii had been serviced by canon days before and was running latest firmware version 1.3.3. After clicking to record some video, camera reported error saving file, then when I tried again it reported card corrupted. Lost some landscape photos of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Weather was humid and not too hot, low 80s less than 30. Couldnt recover with Data Rescue software. Camera worked flawlessly with Lexar 1066x and Komputerbay 1000x 64gb cards for the next 2 weeks in East Africa recording over 1000 photos and videos with no errors. Do not recommend this SanDisk 160MBs card. It feels like the manufacturer is using customers for QA. Card was picked up from BH on 9 Nov 2015 and failed on first use 15 Nov 2015.

I have 4 SanDisk Extreme Pro 32 GB CompactFlash Memory Card 160MBs read speed 150MBs write speed. I used them with my Canon 7D MII and my 7D. In the burst mode at 10 frames per second the card keeps up Recording with the images. I have used this card in extreme heat, 115 F with no problems. I have been using this memory card since it first became available and is my primary Memory Card. When I record a series of images using my finger to trip to shutter sometimes the rate as high as six or seven frames per second do not have any Recording delays with this memory card. Ive recorded approximately 40,000 images using this card with no problems during the recording or exporting to computer processes. I highly recommend this card for both size and speed. The first time I went out with my Canon 7D M II, I went to bird sanctuary and recorded A Mix of birds in flight, birds in trees, birds traveling on the Lake, and landing and taking off from Lake in the course of two hours, I recorded 999 RAW images to fill this card, excellent card for this experience. The second memory card in my 7D M II is the SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro UHSI SDHC U3 Memory Card Class 10 with Max. Write Speed 90 MBs, and Max. Read Speed 95 MBs. . The camera is set to start recording on the second card when the first card is Full. On rare occasions I will switch to the second card if a completely different subject matter attracts my attention to record during Focused shoot. Then I return to the main card and continue recording the subject I am photograph at that time. Example Aircraft in flight all of a sudden see activity completely different than aircraft but wholes my interest and dictates I should record the images. I switched to the second card continue recording in raw till those activities do not require any more documentation then switch back to the main memory card continue Recording aircraft. Thank you all for reading my analysis of this particular product. Man 74 in Black AZ

I am very disappointed with SanDisks new storage case for their line of CF cards. Looking at the photo, the case on the left is what everyone is familiar with and it works well. The new case on the right is totally useless. It is impossible to open with your fingers you would most likely break a finger nail trying and the only way it can be opened is with the use of a tool.I had complained to SanDisk about this issue and this is their responseI understand that you are facing issues with the Storage Case and it is hard to open up the case. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. I would like to inform you that we do not manufacture the storage case separately or provide replacement for the storage cases.They are completely oblivious to the problem, or they dont care.Would I purchase another CF card from SanDisk, probably not.
Pasquale –
I have been using SanDisk cards for many years. I am currently using this in my trusty Nikon D700. I notice no lag when running in continuous mode. Great product.
Robert –
Since my first DSLR Canon 20D, Ive always used SanDisk and have had zero issues with failures. I normally cap it at 32 GIG cards, so if there ever was a failure, I would at least minimize the lost files I would have. So far, all has been good for me. You got a good horse, you ride it.
Jenn D –
I recently upgraded my camera from a Nikon D700 to a Nikon D810.im a concert photographer so I need to shoot really fast in RAW format and at the maximum frames per second. I couldnt seem to find a memory card that could write the large file sizes that I was shooting, fast enough. Until I bought this card. I am super pleased with this card and I dont have anymore lag time while the files are writing to the card. I can shoot as fast as I need to
Darius –
If your looking to double your space on video storage then this is the card for you. For those who are on budget but want to shoot higher quality footage. I recommend this card as a good starting point. I use mine with Canon XF100 at 50 MBPS which gives me 164 minutes of shooting time on one card
Neil –
My Canon 5D ii wouldnt format this. I called SanDisk who said the camera was compatible and that I must have a defective part. Same deal with the replacement. At this point, I did some research and discovered that there was a firmware update to allow the 5D to use 128gb and 256gb CF cards. I installed this and…. same problem. In the end I formatted the card using my Mac and the camera seems to read and write to it. The only issue now is that the camera is showing 999 available shots. Im guessing it cant handle a four digit number. In the end, its just more confirmation that the Japanese camera manufacturers cant write software to save their lives

Ive used a lot of different brands of CF and SD cards over the years. The speed of SanDisks has always been very consistent. Its pricier than most competitors, but worth every penny. These are reliable. I had 10 CFs over the past 5 years and only 1 failed. It was easy to contact SanDisk and they replaced it with a new card. Make sure to purchase these from manufacturers direct suppliers such as BH. Be aware of cheaper replica SanDisks.

Love this product. It has been a very consistent product through the years and always my first choice for my camera media

I shoot photos with a Nikon D810 DSLR camera. The D810 has two memory card slots one for SD cards, and the other for CompactFlash CF memory cards. CompactFlash is an old, outdated storage medium but if you still use a camera that requires it like the D810, the SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB CompactFlash Memory Card is one of the best cards still on the market.I use this 128GB ExtremePro card as my primary storage card when shooting photos with my DSLR and I never have any issues or delays. I thankfully have never had one of these cards fail on me.

I recently got an outrageous deal on a truly immaculate Nikon D3X, and have been having a blast shooting with it. It included two SanDisk 4GB cards, about 80 RAW files will fit on each one and immediately replaced them with 32GB cards. about 600 RAW files on each one Ive used these cards in Nikon cameras in the hot summer, the rain, and in temperatures down to 0 F, with no failures yet, and fast response. Thats what I want… a card that just works, so I dont have to worry about it.

Ive always liked Sandisk and have never had a card fail or corrupt data. I use the Extreme Pro CF cards to record 1920 x 1080 video at 50 Mbps. They are plenty fast for HD video and completely reliable. I think the 64 gb is the sweet spot balancing price per MB and splitting a days shoot across multiple cards. Im picky about my gear and trust these cards completely

This Sandisk compact flashcard works great with my Nikon full frame camera. Especially when I get m shooting raw and a high resolution jpeg, speed of write is important and this card doesnt disappoint

Ive been using SanDisk CF cards for several years now and continue to be pleased with their performance. Last year I purchased 2 of the 16 GB Extreme Pro CF cards and have used them extensively for wildlife photography all year. I often shoot at up to 10 framessec and only rarely do I reach the buffer. Ive only had a month now to use these 32 GB cards but so far Im seeing the same results.
Vasha –
This is about the best Compact Flash card you can buy. The brand is dependable and has a longlasting reputation for good products and standing behind the products when issues arise. Its also the fastest compact flash card money can buy so it costs a bit more, which isnt a thrill since the data transfer method for compact flash maxes out at this cards speed so there will never be a faster card. But if your camera still relies on Compact Flash this is the card to buy. The 128GB size is solid for shooting RAW files, costs a bit more than smaller sizes but holds plenty. A good card for shooting RAW to it while shooting JPG to a 32 GB version.
James –
Great product I think this is my 6th one. SanDisk is the only one I will buy, very dependable, always works after many years of use. And BH is the only place I buy from, never had a problem.
Rodrigo –
If your camera uses CF cards and you need to record video, look no further. People also report great results with Lexar Professional 1066x cards but I chose this one. Theres cheaper options out there but some of them tend to be less reliable and the price difference doesnt seem worth the potential loss of data.

Im learning photography and want to shoot RAW. My first CF card, which was given to me, was only 4GB so I was constantly running out of memory. This card is fast and I havent had any issues.

These cards work well in my Canon 7d mark 2. It clears the buffer quickly and I get well over 2000 shots. SanDisk makes a solid product.
John –
To be honest, I bought the CF card because the SD broke one of the plastic dividers between each conductor but it still works and I now use it to back up the new CF card. This new card will be used with a D800 Nikon camera. One reason is this camera has large files NEF Raw files. The camera uses CF SD cards and max frame rate for it is 4 framessec. In a test, I did, it will take about 1516 images before the buffer stalls, using a SanDisk Ex Pro 64GB 95MBs, the other card I own. That means you must wait for the files to transfer to either the CF or SD before taking more images and In general it may take 1 sec or so before you can continue but I never actually measured that. A little about the subjects I photograph, mostly wildlife and occasional videos using a Nikon 500mm AFS lens. The D800 is not a speedy sports camera but I like the fact that its large files that can be cropped to useable sizes, especially when photographing something small like a bufflehead duck. So after reading the specks for the SD 64G 160MB card in conjunction with the cameras manual this card seems to be the fastest one available, and Nikon recommends SanDisk cards and Ive used SanDisk cards for some time and never had any problems with them.

I have been ScanDisk for years…with never, ever an issue I thought this was normalBut now, after trying a couple Lexar and having two of them fail in under a months time Lost all the photos, I really appreciate them more than ever
Brendan –
I own 4 of the 32GB extreme pros and they are fantastic. Ive never had a problem with them failing or stopping frames for you video folk even in the 1DC or the c100300 recording 4K footage. Uncompressed raw from a 1DX also flows flawlessly. I havent personally had one crack or known anyone who has had one fail. I highly reccomend this product to ANY photographer at any level. As a photojournalist I would trust nothing else.
Stan –
I have relatively slow memory cards as I usually shoot still lifes and landscapes. Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot very lively birds in a small pond and missed lots of shots while waiting for them to process. I talked to a salesman at BH who recommended this card. I cant shoot fast enough to slow my 5D Mark III down. Well worth the price.
James –
I click the shutter release button and photos go on it. I take it out of the camera and put it into a card reader attached to my computer. The computer then shows my the photos on the SanDisk.
Mark –
Sandisk cards are trustworthy. They ensure you dont miss a photo op. Piece of mind and reliability worth the cost

I bought the 32G card just under a year ago and have had some weird problems with pics saving on the card. I first thought it was camera related but yesterday I couldnt download my pictures had to copy paste them to be able to view. Today put it back in the camera and it wouldnt formatand camera was flashing CHA which I have never seen before.Used menu to format but now camera says the card is damaged I have decided that my initial fears are correct, Ill be sticking to smaller sized cards from now on. 32G is just too many pics to risk losing at one time….
Raghav –
Using as a backup card on 1DX Mark II. The transfer speeds to my Mac seem super slow as compared to the CFAST 2.0 card. But otherwise, no issues in terms of reliability, the product delivers on the promised performance.
Charlie –
Fantastic card for both video and professional still images. I use this card in my Canon 1Dx camera for professional still images for clients. Card has great transfer and write speed for fast shooting and storage it has never held me up with the multiple images I need to capture during both college and professional sports events. Transfers great using USB 3.0 card readers to USB 3.0 laptop ports.
Mauro –
I work as a freelance doing some street stores with my dslr. This compact flash unit give me all the security about the recording will not stop. Just what I need to be safe and dont lost any moment of what I need to catch.Im a happy buyer
Charles –
Bought this compact flash card for my newly acquired Canon 7D MK II. I shoot mostly birds in flight and my grand childrens sporting events. I have always used SanDisc SD cards with excellent results and had no reason to change brands when going to the compact flash format. When shooting 10 shotssec this card has no problem keeping up with the action.
trevor.m –
These memory cards are very high quality and have extremely quick transfer speeds that make it so easy to take a lot of pictures with my camera quickly. It allows me to work unobstructed in photography and make my life as easy as possible.
Krishnamurthy –
Sandisk Extreme Pro cards are very good and very reliable and I never had any problems with it so far and I totally rely on its Brand name and quality. I use CF cards as primary cards in my Nikon D 800 body and use the SD card as an over flow. I use the same capacity set of cards such as CF 32GB and SD 32 GB as a set or such as 16GBs. Pro CF cards has faster writing speeds than SD cards and hence I always use Sandisk Extreme POro cards as my primary cards. Its worth investing in it
JaimeChanPhoto –
I use this for my Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Whats great is that I see transfer speeds of 100 MBsecond consistently through my transfers. I once left this in the pockets of my pants in the washer AND dryer and it still worked after with everything intact Whats not so great about it Took them long enough to make a fast card like this Just kidding I have no complaints. SanDisk media cards are my goto. I also recommend their Extreme Pro SSDs for your computer systems
Walter –
Have used San Disk Extreme PRO for years. Never have failed. Good price.Service from B H was excellent.
Vasha –
This is about the best Compact Flash card you can buy. The brand is dependable and has a longlasting reputation for good products and standing behind the products when issues arise. Its also the fastest compact flash card money can buy so it costs a bit more, which isnt a thrill since the data transfer method for compact flash maxes out at this cards speed so there will never be a faster card. But if your camera still relies on Compact Flash this is the card to buy. Then32 GB size is a solid one, available for less if youre shooting in a rotation with a card runner or shooting a gig where you need to be careful to spread the shoot over multiple cards. Overall an excellent but limited in speed card.
Craig –
Good CF card fir the cost. Like many photographers watching costs on accessories this card is a good value and speedy.
James –
Its perfect for what i need. Delivery was quick and reliable. If youre looking for a solid memory card for video, this is a great option
Richard –
Ive had Sandisk products before and never had a bad one. This one works as advertised and ordering through B H is always fast and efficient.
Alan –
I use this CF card in my Canon 7D Mark II, because I know at 10 fps, I can overwhelm a lesser speed card. I have had slower cards bog down, just after a dozen action frames, keeping me from taking shots at the best part of a surfers ride. Now, I can hold the shutter for about 35 frames before it slows. Any kind of restraint on the shutter, and it will never bottom out. And I cant fill it in one shoot. I like that
Tom –
I replaced a 32 GB card with this larger, faster memory card in my Nikon D4S. The 64GB CompactFlash memory card was not a whole lot faster than my smaller card. The file transfer to my computer via USB was somewhat improved as well as buffer emptying in my camera. I really like the increased capacity on the larger 64GB card for all day sporting events and bird photography. Shooting a lot of high speed bursts can quickly fill up smaller cards, but you can often get shots that you might otherwise have missed.
Robert –
I had to get two of these to go with the used 5D Mark II I just purchased. I also purchased a card reader that will take this. You can also use the cable which came with this camera but also comes with most newer cameras. I can do either one now. I do not use Video so I cant speak to how this works with that. For stills its fine.
William –
I have been san disk for years with mu 20D,5D,5D Mark II 5D Mark IV. Never had a problem so I continue to use recommend everyone else should too. Years ago I saw a fellow bring a couple of disks in to a local camera store and ask if they could see if they could save any files as he had forgot about it and put it through the washer and dryer. They saved all the files. Some other brands did not have quite the same success.
amy.t –
I use this when Im taking action shots because it saves the photos so much quicker. I was having issues with a standard sd card, then someone recommended this. Changed my world
Robert –
I love the speed of these cards. I do a lot of bird photography with an emphasis on catching birds in flight. That means I am usually shooting at very high frame rates and often in long bursts. With these cards, I can shoot several hundred frames in a burst without worrying about whether the camera will get bogged down. Plus, two of these cards in my Nikon D5 will let me shoot 5.4 thousand pictures in the raw format. Even on the busiest of days, Im not going to shoot that many shots. So I never have to worry about running out of space. Finally, theyre extremely rugged. I accidentally dropped a camera while using these cards from a great height. The camera, the cards, and the images on the cards all survived without any problems.
Eric –
Purchased this 128GB Extreme Pro to replace a 64GB version purchased more than 8 years ago that finally failed. Even then all but a few images were extracted and I am hopeful I can recover the few remaining ones. Reliable, fast.
Davy –
I shoot the Canon 7D and use exclusively SanDisk Extreme CF cards. I have ZERO problem EVER. Theyre FAST, very sturdy. This is a pro product with a price to match more expensive than SD cards but it delivers perfectly and save you possibly much trouble from inferior formats, brands, performance or build quality. BTW those cards also seem to last foreever. Im yet to have ANY issue at all even with my older ones and they have shot dozens of thousands of pictures.
WALTER –
Surprised at how expensive high end CF cards have remained. Needed this to match the SD for the second recording slot of my Canon Mk IV. Although the 160 mbs is not quite as fast as the SD and is an issue as the Camera only records at the mbs of the SLOWEST cards memory. Still SanDisk is always my memory choice for professional work.
SteveV –
Using this in a Canon EOS 40D, although I couldnt find any info online that this size would work with the camera, I bought it anyway and it works great. The camera recognizes all of the memory, only thing it will not do is tell you how many pictures you have left because it only displays 3 digits. So after taking 2040 pictures at the highest resolution, approximately 9 GB, it still says I have 999 pictures left. Life is good
Frank –
I have used san disk for many years now. I have a canon 5Dlll and also a canon 5DlV. I have always gotten very good quality shots with san disk memory cards. I would recommend san disk to anyone shooting stills or video.
John –
I purchased this card to be able to capture 4k video on my Canon 5D IV. It doesnt disappoint. I dont worry about dropped frames while recording on location.
Robert –
This is my first CF card due to purchase of a 5D Mark IV recently. Also my first super high capacity card 128 gB. The best thing I can say about any card is that I never notice it in other words, it does its job in the background and doesnt cause any hangups
Jeffrey –
What more can you say… its a 64 gig CF card. I was shooting stills on a Nikon D850 and the way I shoot is I really fire away… super fast clicking. I never had a problem buffering and was able to snap away.
Linda –
Ive been using SanDisk CF and SD cards for a long, long time and Id never have one fail. I use this CF card in my Canon 5DMIV. It has a super fast write speed but occasionally I still fill my buffer and have to wait a second or two before I can shoot again. Overall, very happy with this purchase and will continue to buy SanDisk memory cards
Darryl –
Sandisk makes the in my opinion the fastest and most reliable cards available. I learned a valuable lesson once while on vacation with a competing brand. My battery was running low and I was taking those once in lifetime shots. For some reason those shots were not captured and stored. I have never had that problem with Sandisk, if there was enough battery power to run the camera there was enough power to capture and store images. This includes SD cards as well.
SP56 –
Used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I like it. It holds over 2000 RAW pictures. It captured my burst pictures quickly.
TibiM –
I use a Nikon D810. I was shooting small birds in flight at very high shutter speed and having buffering issues with just a normal memory card. The Compact Flash cards have much higher transfer speeds and I was not disappointed.
Craig –
Ive used ScanDisk CF and SD memory cards from the beginning and have never had one fail. What are the odds of that They work flawlessly and Ill recommend them to anyone needing a CF or SD memory card.
Anne –
I am a full time professional wedding senior portrait photographer. I normally shoot with 32gb cards but wanted a larger card since I have begun shooting some video, too. Since purchasing the card last week, I have used it for both Seniors a wedding. I love it. It is especially helpful when downloading wedding images. I dont have to swap cards as often as I did before.
John –
Im shooting High School Sports and went into a few weekends with back to back to back games, literally, no time to stop in between games at one of the events and about 20 minutes in between at the other. Bumping up my card allowed me to shoot without stopping to switch cards or transfer.
Paul –
This is my goto CF card for commercial work in a Nikon D810. 16 GB is too small, 64GB is too big, but the 32GB is just right Big enough for multiple shoots, yet not so big that it goes for several days without being reformatted. While there are certainly smaller cards out there, smaller doesnt necessarily mean easier to handle. The size and heft of the CF makes it easy to insert, remove, store, and handle.Only reason to ding the product one star is the minor inconvenience of using an external card reader No builtin CF card reader on any computer Im aware of.Ive never had a CF card fail Hope Im not tempting fate.
Curtis –
I shoot airshows using maximum fps to capture the action workout any buffering delay. I take a couple thousand photos using RAW files and havent run out of room.

Power users are advised to check out the Extreme PRO SDXC card from long standing card manufacturer SanDisk. Available in capacities from 64GB up to an impressive 1TB, this option offers a speed class 3 rating.
William –
When I ordered the SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro CompactFlash Memory card I had only hope as I had read so many reviews from other buyers of other businesses CompactFlash cards I was beginning to sonder if I made a mistake in buying a camera that only used one. BH put all those worries to rest when my new CF card arrived and worked perfectly well as it continues to work just as BH said it would. This is why I trust BH and will continue to rely on them for excellent advice and service.
ivanovich –
I use this CF card in my Sounddevices 744t to record sound. I can record 4 tracks at 24192 and the card keeps up without issues. The UDMA7 gives fast transfer rates when coupled to a UDMA7 card reader interface. Ive been buying these cards for years and the only reason I keep buying more is because the price vs capacity keeps coming down. Highly recommended
The OldCowHand –
Ive been using SanDisk CF cards since I went digital. I recently purchase a Canon 5D Mark IV and a Nauticam 5DMKIV uw housing to shoot 4K underwater video. I needed bigger cards because of the larger files produced by the 5D MKIV. Just last week, I shot some inwater pool scenes for a resort commercial and was very pleased with the equipment and storage size of the cards
Michael –
This was my first compactFlash card so I dont have much to compare it to, but its pretty fast and works great. BH had it on sale and it was by far the cheapest place I could have purchased it. I just wish I hadnt forgotten to buy a card reader .
Kyle –
We have used the 16gb versions of this card without issue in our Canon 5D MKIII since we bought it in 2013. Late last year we picked up a couple of the 32gb versions for additional capacity. After the first use I noticed glitches in some of the video clips as well as still images. I reformatted the card thinking this would fix the issue it did not. The same thing happened on the next shoot. The problem was intermittent but happened enough that we couldnt trust the card. I put the card back into the bag and forgot about it until I noticed that the 1 year warranty was about to expire. I sent the cards back to SanDisk and they exchanged them for 2 new ones. Again, we had the same issues with the replacements. I am not sure if this is some sort of compatibility problem with the camera or a common problem with this particular model of card. I called Canon support and they blamed the card.
Brenda –
Not much to say about a memory card. It works as promised and seems built for the long run. My 5DS R seemed to like it a lot after changing from 16 Gigs to 64
