20D Fast 2GB Compact Flash Memory Card Recommendations
Hello group.
Any recommendations on fast 2GB Compact Flash memory cards? I will be shooting with a 20D and quite often fast shots, so want to minimise the buffer time. Lexar 80X? Sandisk Ultra II? |

Any recommendations on fast 2GB Compact Flash memory cards? http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...?cid=6007-7303 ... this guy has tested many different cards in a 20D. Lexar 80X? Sandisk Ultra II? We are using Lexar 80, 40 and 32x and Sandisk Ultra and Exteme cards (66x) in a Mark II and a 1Ds and they are almost identical in actual usage, maybe 2 seconds difference in a 30 sec buffer dump. Stick to Lexar and Sandisk and get the one that's on sale at the moment. Bill |

I own both and although the Lexar, on paper at least, appears to be faster, in practice you'll notice little difference. Point to note though - if you take long exposure's, it will take quite a time to process the shot onto the card. |

The Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card works great in the 20D. I almost bought
the Lexar 80x but found the Sandisk to be less expensive. Both cards write faster than the 20D (card=12MB/sec, 20D=6.5MB/sec) so you will likely not notice any difference at all. eCost.com has great prices on Sandisk Ultra II cards Cheers!
