Hi all. I need an additional CF card for my 20D and am getting brain ache trying to work through all the various types. I currently have a Lexar Pro 80x 512MB and am looking to get either another one or two 512MB or a 1GB.
I note there is a lot of variation between read/write speeds of cards and wonder if all the extra speed is really necessary. I tend to use the camera for portrait/ glamour studio work as well as outdoor wildlife and occasionally during shows and holidays etc. I rarely use the burst mode unless its for flying raptors etc. I don't shoot fast cars etc. I suspect there is a break point where the CF interface in the 20D can't write any faster regardless how quick the card claims to be. Any one heard any evidence from Canon etc with interface speeds? So with that in mind do I really need another 80x or could I get away with a 20x or 40x such as a Sandisk Ultra II? Also seen cards from Integral, Ridata and Pretech. Anyone heard good or bad for those manufacturers? Regards Simon Rose. www.thetopofahill.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
