CF cards redux
in [Digital Cameras]

From: jj on 26 May 2010 06:13 The last round of CF cards I got for my original 5D (three years ago) were Lexar Pro 133x and Ridata Supremes (150x). Time to renew. BH has the 4GB Delkin UDMA Pro 305x for $30. Anyone ever try 'em? The few reviews are two years old. (Lexar's 4GB 300x is $50. Ridata 300x Supreme is $46 at Newegg, but curiously, the old 150x Supreme is $63.) BH also has a Delkin 4GB "CombatFlash" CF that claims to clock in at 91MB/s 626x. It's $52, but even if the card is really that fast it sounds like way overkill for a 5D. I don't think the camera can process that fast. Suggestions/comments? JJ

Uh huh. So tell us who, specifically, has the 4GB Delkin UDMA Pro 305x in stock for $3.75. Not "some random off-brand CF card", but that specific card.

Extreme Pro is even faster. Highly recommended. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.
