I've had my first problem with a SanDisk CF card (Extreme III). Data was corrupt and could not be read. Fortunately SanDisk RescuePro got the photos back. I don't feel comfortable in using this card again. My question: Will SanDisk replace the card under it's "lifetime" warrantee?
FYI I've been using SanDisk cards for years and never had a problem.

Could you give SanDisk a call and then come back and give us an update?

I bought an "Extreme III" off eBay only to find out it was a fake. I suspect there are quite a few of them out there. eBay has a page dedicated to figuring out if you have the real deal or not. I was too late to complain so am stuck with mine.

Having said that, it is not bad. Probably a little (lot?) slower moving data but it has worked fine for me in my Nikon D70S. I have just upgraded to a Nikon D200 so we shall see if it can keep up.

As with anything go by the price. If someone is felling a $200 item for $50 be wary. At the time I did not know the value of the real thing.

I am new here. I think I will enjoy it. I am retired and have dabbled in photography all my life. We spend 6 months in Canada and 6 (Winter) in Mexico.

I originally posted while I was on hold with SanDisk. When they got back on the line all went well. They authorized a replacement over the phone and are sending a UPS pick up tag so shipping the old card back to SanDisk is free. Great service so far.

I had one bad Extreme III card (no trouble with others I own), had kept packaging. Sandisk was great - expressed a new card. I buy Sandisk.

Good start but...after an e-mail indicating I receive something (?) via e-mail within 36-48 hours..so far not a word. So Sandisk joins the long list of Made in China Serviced in India and Scrxxxx in the good old USA

Joins? where have you been. their support has been production has never been in the US

Update: I finally called SanDisk back and I very nice Indian gentleman assured me they had sent me the two missing e-mails. I convienced him to double check the address and (strange but true) the first e-mail when to my address, the other two to a completely different one. To make a long story.....I have just received a new CF card and now have moved back to a big thumbs up for Sandisk.
