Anyone using 8GB or 16GB cards on 1D MkIII

[dod]

and if you are are what brand/type and are you having any problems?

I'm looking for and after the experience with the kingstons I'm wanting to make sure I don't buy wrong again, thanks

8 GB Sandisk Extreme III - No problems at all. Plenty fast enough and I didn't think it was worth going to Extreme IV's. I haven't tried 16 GB of any make yet.

Surprised you had problems with Kingston's? I must have missed that. They have a decent reputation for computer memory.

cheers

thanks guys, thought that might be the response

Bill, it was the 133X elite pro from Kingston, kept getting corrupt images on the MkIII but works fine on the MkII :shrug: I wasn't the only one either

I use an 8Gb IV and 16Gb Sandisk III's in mine without any issues so far.

^^^ Thanks for the info. Weird one though, but I'll avoid. I can remember a problem with Lexar cards going back to the 20D days and I've used Sandisk ever since.

I use a MK3 and have a Sandisk 8GB extreme 3 compact flash and sd cards in it all the time. Never had any problems.
