Hello Guys,

Just need some advise really.. I am going away on a trip to Turkey very soon and as I have started shooting RAW only now .. I wanted to buy a bigger CF Card.. I currently have a Sandisk 8GB Extreme IV and yesterday purchased a 16GB SANDISK EXTREME III CF CARD yesterday on ebay for £68.00...

How many of you guys have this card? Is it a good buy for £68.00 including delivery brand new in unopened packaging..

Whats the difference between IV and III?I know the read and write is a little faster but are these really noticable.. I do not shoot in continues mode.. so will this really effect me?

Many Thanks for your help and guidance guys ;)

its a great price if its an authentic one

i'd check that it is when it turns up, loads of fake ones on ebay

there are ebay guides on what to look for

extreme III is plenty fast for the 40d as well

This is very true.. Thank you for that .. I have already checked ebay and other guidliness on fakes after purchasing.. so I will check as soon as this arrives .. I hope this is not fake otherwise its going straight back to the seller... ;)
