I just purchased a Mk IIN last weekend. I have a motocross race to shoot this weekend. My Sandisk Ulta II cards seem to be functioning okay in the camera, but I haven't been shooting a lot of bang, bang, bang fast action yet. I'll be doing quite a few bursts this weekend though, and need to pick up a few more cards. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to CF cards that have proven to be good performers for fast action shooting in the IIN?

    SanDisk Extreme III are cheap right now and very good performers.

    SanDisk Extreme IV is even better.:D

    Here is all the info you'll ever need.

    No, it's just that there's so much BS spoken on the topic of storage cards generally, and so much variation in the performance of different brands and models (at different prices) with different camera bodies, that a single, comprehensive and authoritative point of reference can be extremely helpful.

    IMHO of course! mwink.gif
