Conclusion
SanDisk's Extreme IV technology is a remarkable performance step and especially worthwhile when working with very large capacity cards. It's likely to be very handy in cameras that can use the performance benefits, but not for older cameras.
On its performance alone even with less exotic cards than Extreme IV, the SanDisk Extreme Firewire card reader is a of considerable benefit in its own right and surely worth serious consideration too.
Before we forget, you also get a free copy of SanDisk's very handy image file recovery utility, RescuePRO Deluxe, which I have successfully turned to myself on more than one occasion. There were also a couple of CDs included containing a free 30-day introductory Adobe Photoshop CS2 trial package.
DPNow congratulates SanDisk on delivering another important and impressive improvement in memory card technology for photographers and we are pleased to award the 2GB SanDisk Extreme IV Compact Flash card and SanDisk Extreme Firewire compact flash card reader our
Editors Choice review rating.
