Faster cards will make a difference on the 1D. The card does not affect the buffer capacity, which remains constant relative to the ISO/quality settings. The 1D will write to the card while you continue shooting.(Something the D30 and D60 do not do). So, a faster card will catch up faster. I have 2 Rytek Ridata's. Which are really fast. According to Rob Galbraith's <http://www.robgalbraith.com/media/compactflash/index.html> testing the Ryteks are second only to Lexar's 24X (slightly)
Its pretty tough to run the buffer full on the 1D with a faster card. Richard Bajjalieh mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] M.K.I.A.I. The EOS-1D advertises its amazing 8 frames per second shooting speed but there is no mention in any literature or technical info about minimum acceptable performance for the compactflash card in the camera. Does it make any difference whether you have a Lexar 24x card or some generic unrated card (probably about 4x)? I know the camera has a huge internal buffer. Does the compactflash speed increase the size of the burst total from 20 frames to some larger number?
