SanDisk Video HD tested at 48 fps filled card twice no errors. I ordered two of these cards one card was bad sending it back had a formatting issue after two attempts the card finally formatted. Errors when cam is powered on and off.

The Lexar SSD cards are only good for SP mode.

OK, received my Kensington today from Amazon, apparently they are still available.

And, I still have my IOC adapters - which also work, but... IOCs are tricky - you need to fiddle with them until the cam recognizes the adapter.

So... I'm just using Kensington on-camera; and IOC to offload to the laptop.

In other words... I take the SDHC adapter with card out of camera; remove the card; insert the card into IOC; put IOCxS combo into laptop. Then, I put a blank card into Kensington and insert it back into camera. Now cam is ready to shoot again, while IOCxS is offloading!

Since I got my IOC for about $10, I think this is a good workflow.

B&H says it is accepting orders for Kensington now.

Anyone try this one yet?

It looks like the Cable Express Adapter.

The IOC works with the Sony PRO Duo the Cam sees the card right away. You also have to use the SD to Duo adapter

The Lexars failed in SP mode as well.

My Lexars also failed so I trashed them.

According to the reviews this card has some issues. One reviewer even used the highly technical term "wonky" to describe the card's interfacing problems.

I would hate to insert an $18 "wonky" card into my $8,300 camera and have it damaged.

I'm thoroughly satisfied with the Kensington/Transcend combination.

Hi

Just about to buy an EX3, a bit nervous, but I'm going to order one tomorrow. I've speed read the whole 52 pages of this post in relation to Sony S&S card alternatives and it appears the Kensington 7 in 1 card reader is the go, together with the Sandisk 16Gb extreme iii cards to achieve HQ - 35 mb/sec result, +/- under - over cranking ability.

I can't help but notice that there is an absence of reviews / tests on the Sandisk 8gb exetreme iv cards.

Has anyone had any experience with this Extreme iv card?

Any insights / results would be welcome.

Cheers

Michael

I have the 8gb and 16gb Sandisk cards + Transcend 8gb and 16gb all work fine - have not contemplated slo mo shots.

Probably because there "currently" is NO Sandisk Extreme IV SDHC card available. Sandisk currently only offers this in Compact Flash, not SDHC.


BTW,
If you're looking for the currently best price working combo, buy the:

SanDisk 16GB Ultra II 15MB/s SDHC cards

Received my Kensington readers via Amazon today. Now I'm just awaiting my SanDisk 16GB Video HD Cards!

Spoke to Jeff at Garrett's Smart Electronics. They are Out of Stock and don't know if any more will be coming in.

Buy.com got them in for less than one day and they sold out. Amazon is still delivering them to customers in dribs and drabs. Not sure when and where they are getting them from. Some Micro Center stores have them still.

Lowest price for Sandisk Ultra II 16GB cards from a reliable vendor (BuyDig - Beach Camera - Worldwide) $57.99 with free shipping from New Jersey. Received two today.

OOps! - Price just went up to $59.99 shipped.

This Transcend 16Gb SDHC card is almost two times cheaper than Sandisk, and appears to be working fine.
