Attached Link: CF/SD performance database

Kort;

The sweet spot for CF cards seems to be the 2 GB size...yes, I know it sounds big but I just picked up a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II for less than I paid for a 512 exactly one year ago.  Don't know where you are but Costco up here had a good deal on them.

Don't think there is a huge difference in brands, but try to go with the higher speed versions as it will save on camera battery life and speed up on d/l time to your PC.

I've attached a link comparing CF/SD card performance/speeds for various cams (select your cam from the pull down menu)....enjoy!

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
