Sandisk CF card issue

Dwilly

Just received a brand new 4Gb Sandisk Extreme 4 and it's definitely slower to write than the 2Gb Extreme 3 I'm currently using in my 400d.

Can't be right? Just thought I'd check with you guys before I send it back to the seller.

Where did you buy it and how slow is it?

Fajitas!

Possibly fake?

Where did you buy from?


There's a couple of guides for finding fake cards online.

I find my Sandisk Extreme IV cards just brilliant, and very fast. I have 2gb, 4gb and 8gb cards.

I buy from 7dayshop.

I bought it on eBay (I know..)

Seller looked reputable enough, looked the genuine article, boxed etc.
First off it didn't read it in the camera, I formatted it and it worked OK but takes about 2 seconds to write each RAW file to the camera, if you shoot quickly there'll be three or four of seconds at the end as it catches up.

Can you direct me to the fake guides? :mad:

Response from seller:

Hi, I am so sorry for this card. my suppler told me it's genuine but I am not sure about it because some buyer told me it's not. For any reason if you do not want it, please return it with the item number together to: (address). After I receive it, I will give you full refund plus the return postage.

A likely story!
