Which compact flash for a 1D?

[photomd]

OK, y'all are gonna have fun with this. I'm looking at several 1D's. I'm getting ready to make the commitment and I have NO IDEA about digital media; compact flash cards to be exact. :oops: I've searched this site and several others and I'm more confused than when I started. I know I need a type I or II compact flash, but I can't find any comparision between cards, will the write time slow me down, can I get by with a cheaper card, etc. I shoot mainly sports (racing) and until now I rarely do burst shots due to film costs. I'm in hopes that the 1D will give me the opportunity to do bursts since all I have to do is delete the picture if I don't like it. Will a card keep me from doing this? I think a buffer of 25 would keep me shooting, but I'm unsure. Any sugestions, thoughts, places I should look....HELP! :?:

Thanks in advance. :wink:

...nevermind. I just found Rob Garbraith's CF test (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007). I guess this might help others with the same questions. Pick your camera and have fun with numbers. :wink:

Yes the RG database is an indespensible tool to find out what cards work best in each camera..

Glad you found it! :)
