I look for cheap things all the time, but when it comes to storage, it just doesn't make sense to trust your memories to flaky no-name cards just to save a few bucks.
Admittedly, I'm a Sandisk devotee. And there's a reason: their products are consistently excellent. The 8GB Extreme III card is no exclusion.
I have a few of these that I use in my Canon Digital Rebel XSi, as well as an A-DATA 16GB Turbo SDHC Class 6 Memory Card. Even though both cards are Class 6, the Sandisk card is noticeably faster in my camera, and when transferring images from an SDHC reader (and, yes, I'm doing apples-to-apples transfers -- I'm not comparing both cards at full capacity).
And while I've never lost data on the A-DATA card, at the current price of SD media, why risk it? Is it really worth the few dollars you'll save, if it means you're risking those first day of school pictures? Would you pay a few dollars more to squeeze in an extra shot or two in the middle of the action at a football game?
Awesome speed

I have a canon reble xsi and before i had a plain 4gb sd card. After purchasing this card I found the speed incredible. You actually get the full potiential out of the camera with this card. A must buy for any D-SLR.
Nice and fast

A great card for my camera. It really is important to get a class 4 or class 6 to speed transfers between the computer and the camera. This one flies!!
Great brand and card, however...

It is NOT a retail package and only ships as just the SDHC memory card in its plastic storage case. Not a big deal until you run into problems; hopefully not.
The retail package includes the following critical items:
1) Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty
2) Data Recovery Software mini CD (if you accidentally format your card with pictures on it, stop using the card immediately and use this software to recover your lost data!)
Unfortunately, at the time, Amazon did not offer a retail package of this card. You may want to check elsewhere.
