Review by: da-tigger
Dated: 18th of October, 2007
After trialing the Pretec CF+ Card 6GB High Speed Type II 80x, I wasn-t too keen on dropping down in card size, but was curious about this supposedly extra fast card. So into the Nikon D70 it went, and off I headed to give it a decent test run. It wasn-t long before I discovered just where this card comes into its own!! Being very much into wildlife photography, I have found it frustrating every now and then when my camera-s buffer doesn-t empty fast enough when I-m trying to get action shots of animals, and therefore end up missing several shots. With the SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash, the buffer was emptying pretty much as fast as I could click the shutter, which meant I ended up with a lot more shots that I was happy withÂ- definitely a BIG plus for me!! Next was the test as to whether it was any faster downloading onto the computer than the other cards I was used to. Again, I found the speed of this task considerably improved, another bonus if you-re in a hurry to download so you can carry on shooting.
Overall, if this card came in a bigger capacity, it would be the closest thing to the Â"perfect cardÂ" that I-ve come across yet. If you-re into any kind of photography where your subject is likely to move about, then this is the ideal card to have a few of!!!
