Not pleased
I ordered this 8 gig card with new horizons in mind. I shoot with a professional Canon 10D EOS. My camera, after 3.4 gigs was used up on the Lexar card, could no longer write to the card fast enough and all images become corrupt thereafter. Since I had only read positive reviews for the card, I was way to sure of this card and used it during a wedding shoot. I'm thankful I had plenty of 1 and 2 gig cards as back up. Further investigation opened up the notion that this card cannot be maximized by any camera other then the higher end SLR professional cameras that are new to the market - so if you don't own a high end SLR and just have a normal SLR professional like myself, this card isn't going to work for you. Atleast not past 3.4 gigs.

Accurate, large storage space and fast!
I would definitely put Lexar and SanDisk in the same category as the best memory cards on the market today. The UDMA Lexar 8GB is the perfect CF card for large format DSLR cameras. Especially for RAW format users.

great fast card
bought this for use on my D300 and they are a deadly quick combo.
it will save over 1K images shooting on the large/fine JPEG setting and a little over 300 images on RAW.

Just What I Needed
Lexar Professional UDMA - Flash memory card - 8 GB - 300x - CompactFlash
I use a a Canon 5D and love Lexar cards. From the first digital camera I had many years ago, I always got better response from the Lexar one as compared with other brands. First it was 4X, then, 8X then 16X, then 40X, then 80X, then 133X, now 300X. My cameras went from 3.3 MP then several 8 MP, now 12.8 MP so there was a need for faster and larger cards. Well Lexar has kept up. I now have 5 of the 8GB 300X. I still use the 8 GB 133X as well as some 40 and 80X cards. The difference I notice is down loading my images to my computer, the 300X is way faster with a proper card reader. Even with the express card reader on my laptop in the field the 300X card downloads the 8 GB faster. Also when shooting a burst of pictures, whether its getting the right image at sporting events or a bird in flight, with either my Canon 20D or now the Canon 5D, I never have to wait for the files to write to the cards.

I like the peace of mind that comes from the quality of Lexar products. I spend a lot of time, effort, and money getting the images and the thought of loosing them due to card problems is unimaginable. I also no doubt will be getting the Canon 1DS Mark IIII in the near future, and like the idea than the cards I am now using will be fast enough to keep up with the 21 MP camera. So no regrets.

Well off to Alaska with my Lexar cards,

Fast + Lifetime Warranty
I've written/read at 39 MB/sec consistently, using an Addonics SATA-to-CF reader. The transfer rate is being limited by the Addonics device and not the Lexar CF card, I believe. Now part of Crucial/Micron, I'd expect Lexar to continue designing & manufacturing stellar, reliable memory devices.

I don't have a UDMA camera, so I cannot comment on how it may speed up image capture, but I expect it would be fantastic for sports and wildlife photographers. I intend to use the card as a SSD to speed up HD video rendering.
