I'd go along with that. When I bought the E-1 last week I had to buy a CF card, which I've never had before. I bought a Fuji one, knowing nothing about them. A few days later, because I need more capacity, I bought a Sandisk Extreme III and I'm amazed at the difference in speed. Shooting raw the E-1 gets through 12 frames at 3 fps before it has to stop to catch breath. It then recovers quite quickly. It was taking forever with the Fuji card. In fact, I've just tested them. The Fuji starts to slow down noticeably at the 9th frame, and takes 45 seconds to write 12 frames to the disk. The Sandisk wheezes a little at the 9th, but not so obviously, and takes 15 seconds to write to the disk. And the Sandisk was cheaper.
