It is not the card! Its the Camera!!

If there was any doubt that speed problems are camera issues and not
CF card issues!

Or any doubt about Microdrives being capable of top speeds:

And why I want a 1G SD card to supplement the 4G uDrive

I am hoping Sandisk can make a 4GB SD card as fast as their 512mb (and keep it very affordable).

I agree, Patch. In the 1DMkll, the SD card speed blows away the SanDIsk Ultra II CF or the IBM 4Gb MicroDrive in write speeds for me writing RAW+jpg

If they will build a 4Gb SD card that is not priced through the roof, I will be a buyer also -Just think of the ability to have 8 Gb of storage in your camera on a wallk around basis. That might be good for several days, or a whole vacation if shooting jpgs only.

I spent a lot of time at that site before I bought my D70 and CF cards. Thanks for the link, I forgot all about the Lexar 80x cards. It seems that there are going to be 2 versions of 80x cards, one much faster than the other?

D70 performance if anyone is interested.
