I shoot nearly 100% jpg, and the larger buffer of the DS2 combined with the faster write speed feels significantly more than twice as fast.
The buffer helps initially, but the speed of recovery from a burst using a fast card makes a huge difference if, like me, you shoot numerous 2-3 shot bursts one after another. -Aaron -- http://aaronreynolds.ca http://battersbox.ca http://hardballtimes.com -----Original Message----- From: "Tom C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Re: CF v SD Cards Date: Tue 2006 Aug 22 1:46 pm Size: 1K To: pdml@pdml.net Shooting .jpgs or RAW? How fast does the buffer fill up? Is the speed increase due to the memory card or some other factor? Just curious actually. I rarely shoot in bursts but for, say wifdlife pictures, it could be an advantage. If I had a choice between a 2x buffer size and a 2x burst speed, I'd take the 2x buffer (but I'm going off on a tangent). Tom C.

Can't speak to the newer cameras.
