It's slow, anyone have experience using this card?

They're decent cards. Can't keep up with HD 1080p video but for shooting stills they're fine. Only drawback is you spend a little longer transferring the images from the card to your computer.

wonder if it can keep up with 8fps of the 7D

I've had no trouble but I'm not sure if I got past the buffer. I've done 14 with no trouble. I can tell you that the full HD video doesn't record well on them.

cool, I have not hit the buffer yet and probably never will, and I dont do video anyway I have 2 lexar udma 8GB if I need to do video

I don't treat my cameras like Uzis.

I see B&H has discounted these as well but their price with the discount is $36.

I have the Kingston 133x card, and it flashes the buffer warning every once in awhile on my 5d2 for video recording. So 133x or thereabouts may just be the lower limit for recording video.

Thank you for posting this. I just ordered two as back-ups in the field.

You'll be happy. Lexar card have and equal to or better reputation than Sandisk. I've used them for years without an issue.
