I have used many memory cards from San Disc and they have been fine. So I bought this Extreme before taking a trip to Alaska, I used it a few times before leaving and it stopped working. My Nikon D300 would give a warning stating it was defective. I went on a Flickr forum to see if others had the same problem with their d300s. I found that they did and there were comments on what to do to see if it was the camera or the card. I went through a series of tests to determine for sure it was the card.
I called San Disk for a rpleacement. The young man from some foriegn country ezplained to me how to use a memory card, it drove me nuts. Then he suggested that I do some of the same tests that I had already done. I complied and of course it still was the card. He then suggested that I completley load the card with photos then re-format the card and call back. He gave me a an event number.
I did as he asked, knowing it woudl not work. I called back the next day to what ever country they are in, what is wrong with using Americans???? I did get a return number and sent the card back more than a month ago, and am still waiting.
Befor my Alaska trip, I had to buy two 4g cards to rplace the defective one, not not San Disk cards.
I am still waiting for the replacement.
I know that it is possible for any manufacturer to put out a card that might be defective, my main complint is the long period of time to replace this card.
I once had HP replace an entire printer before I sent them the defective one and they sent it overnight!!
I may still buy a San Disk card again, but if I ever get another bad one, it will be my last.Get more detail about SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package).
