Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / March 2005CF Card for 350D
Hi, I have finally decided to plunge for a 350D. What is the best CF card to buy for this camera? I am kinda deciding betweeen the following: 1. Sandisk Ultra II 1GB 2. Sandisk Extreme III 1GB 3. Lexar 80X 1Gb Is it worth going for the fast but expensive card? I have heard that the 350D doesn't utilize the full writing speed of the Lexar, what about the Sandisk Extreme III? Thanks CJ > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > 2. Sandisk Extreme III 1GB > 3. Lexar 80X 1Gb http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007-6133 I went with #1 above. It was quick to find and relatively cheap. Greg > 1. Sandisk Ultra II 1GB > 2.

I use them exclusively and they are the best. You can get a slower and smaller one, you know. From: "Randall Ainsworth" <rag@nospam.techline.com> | I'd vote Lexar.

Therefore, Canon is of the opinion that SanDisk is the best. ;-)  SignatureDave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm > From: "Randall Ainsworth" <rag@nospam.techline.com> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > SanDisk is the OEM of all memory cards for Canon. > Therefore, Canon is of the opinion that SanDisk is the best. ;-) There are a number of ways that a memory card can be considered "best". Did Canon decide it was "best" based upon quality, or "best" based upon some volume pricing discount, or "best" because of something else?

But it doesn't change the fact that SanDisk is the preferred OEM memory vendor for Canon. SignatureDave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm I switched from Lexar to Sandisk after reading the benchmarks and I'm glad I switched. I started with Lexar and have had 3 card failures over the last 5 years with them. Replaced them with Sandisk and had no more problems. >> 1. Sandisk Ultra II 1GB >> 2.

Considering your intended camera has the same, new(er) image processor, I expect you would benefit from the same CF card. When it comes to read/write performance, 9MB/sec write and 10MB/sec read is something I can understand. I have yet to read a explanation/translation of 40x, 60x, 80x, etc. It's meaningless to me. :) JR From: "Jim Redelfs" <jim.redelfs@redelfs.com> | I purchased the SanDisk Ultra II 1GB for my 20D. | [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] | :) | JR 1x = .15MB/s 2x = .3MB/s 40x = 6MB/s 60x = 9MB/s <----- SanDisk Ultra II 80x = 12MB/s <----- Lexar 133x = 20MB/s <----- SanDisk Extreme III HTH BTW: I like your X-Face, did you make it ?

I hoped that would inspire someone to educate me! :) > BTW: I like your X-Face, did you make it ? Yes, with a little help from Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Saving Face, the latter under Mac OS 9.x. :) JR |
