It is the Camera writes to buffer speed that limits you... Mar 15, 2005 By M. Markovic "mmarkovic"
So to answer the questions to "frenzel" and "Izzybee" none of you two would be able to utilize high transfer speed of this card nor for ie. Lexar's 80x , you are simply limited with your Camera Writes to buffer speed. It is often hard if not possible at all to find that information and Camera Manufacturers do not disclose this information. You can gain the speed for transferring the images from these cards to your computer if you use USB 2.0 or Fire Wire card readers, but that is all the gain you will see, so to gain fast response of your Camera you may need New Cameras that support faster writes to Camera's buffers, something like Nikon D70 or New Canon Digital Rebel 350, I am taking about "Prosumer level" of DSLR's hope this would help...

fast card is a good thing Jul 26, 2005 By Brent Thompson
I have never noticed any in-camera performance difference between my SanDisk Extreme III 1GB and SanDisk Ultra II 1GB cards.

But, Extreme III consistently gives me about 50% faster download speed with both USB2 and USB1 (yes, unfortunately I sometimes have to use such old hardware). Eventually, we all need to transfer the photos from compactflash to somewhere else, and the extra time needed for the slower cards is so annoying to me I plan to never again buy any card slower than Extreme III.

Fastest Card Yet For the Rebel XT Dec 29, 2005 By Charw
This is the fastest card yet as of March 28, 2005. Using the data collected at: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/index.asp in the CF Database. I was able to make a more informed decision. I had my heart set on the Hitachi Microdrive 3GB when initially purchasing my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 350D. However, after reviewing the results of the write speed tests, I immediately switched to the San Disc Extreme III. For my camera write speed using this CF is 4.888MB/sec JPEG and 6.263MB/sec RAW compared to the Hitachi Microdrive 6GB 3.466MB/sec JPEG and 4.584MB/sec RAW. Its highly recommended that you check out Rob Galbraith site to help sift through the confusion of which CF Card performs best with your camera.

fastest card on the block, for now... May 27, 2005 By D. Kim "bummster"
this card is very fast. on my rebel xt, my 2nd gen lexar 80x pro and my extreme III card are neck and neck. the speed is a bit faster on the sandisk card though. doesn't really affect real world performance, unless i'm shooting a lot of bursts in RAW.

the card also comes with a neoprene card holder that can hold 2 cards. nothing to get too excited over.

it also comes with software on a mini CD, unlike other manufacturers that put them on the card itself. cough, lexar, cough.

This card IS fast! Mar 25, 2005 By Matt Kelley
It's no wonder that people aren't seeing a big difference in speed; point and shoot, prosumer P&S, and entry-level dSLR cameras aren't going to be able to write to the card fast enough. Take a look at Rob Galbraith's CF database:

http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007

The SanDisk Extreme III is almost always the fastest when the card becomes the limiting factor.
