I have used Sandisk since the first card of 128mb were made and I have never had a problem with them!

The 16GB 60MB/s Extreme works well for me. I'm getting continuous shooting with large JPEGs, around 30 shots with med RAW, and 16-20 in full-size RAW out of my 7D.

If you go to bh and compare the exact same card Extreme 16gb sdhc the pictures are different, as well as the price.

Adorama shows one with 20mb/s listed and bh shows one with 30mb/s listed. hm....
Adorama- states it is class 6, bh states class 10.

Otherwise cards look same, have same name.

I am thinking maybe adorama is getting rid of old cards maybe? Don't know what else to think.

Never had trouble with anything I ordered from them, but I most use bh.

okay went to amazon and found some of both cards. So for class 6 cards this is a good price, but just know what you are getting when you order.

Yeah mine was purchased from Adorama, I'm sure it's just a fluke but still pretty annoying.

Interesting article on the counterfeit stuff. Scary! I would not trust amazon because so much of amazon content comes from other vendors.
