Hello Mark, I have 3 Lexar 512mb 40x WA cards and one Dane Electric 512mb nothing special card. Using the supplied Jumpshot reader from Lexar to download to the computer, there is a minor speed increase compared to the Dane-Electric using a Sandisk reader.
However, in camera (*istD), there is a very marked difference in write speed to the card. I only use the Dane-Electric as a last resort. The buffer writes seem to be 2-3x faster on the Lexars. That can mean the difference between missed shots and not. HTH, Bruce Thursday, May 27, 2004, 11:23:54 AM, you wrote: MS> What is currently the thinking on a CF card? 1 gig fast, I MS> guess?
