Just ordered 2.0 GB CF Card... ??? about storage...

[Kenski]

How many RAW's can I expect to save to it from the 300D???

[sGu]

around 300, i guess ... on 1D, it gives me 328 RAW on a 2G card

[Morden]

At ISO 100, a little over 300, though that number is affected by the type of subject. And the higher the ISO setting, the less shots you will get onto the card.

[Malaxos1]

I am planning on getting one as well as they are listed on ebay at $135...Dean

$137 with 2 day UPS shipping for the SANDISK 2GB card... I thought that was a pretty good deal... With no damn rebates... I'm sick and tired of rebates... Sometimes I have to fight with these damn companies when they tell me that I didn't send them the receipts or some bull**** like that.. I always SCAN a copy of it all right before I put it in the envelope, the form, receipt, and UPC all attached together to show them that they are full of ****... I'm sick of waiting 2-3 months for my money and by that time when it comes to electronics you can get it cheaper anyways... If I spend a few extra dollars now and someone brags that they get it cheaper but because of "REBATES", Think again... Rebates are a good thing.. INSTANT yes, mail in, only if your smart about it... When it comes to electronic stuff like this, waiting for the money, your shooting your self in the foot... IMO....

It's not a fast card, but on the 300D i really dont think thats gonna matter too much.

Yeah, for my 300D, it should be good enough.. I really don't think I will ever need anything that fast... But who knows...

That's the "Nice Price"

No one should ever say this because you know it isnt true :twisted:

They are from Sandisk. I am sure they are not that fast but the 20D's write time is icredible by it's self...Dean

Not when it is bottle necked by a slow card...

Hmmmm...I have two 512mb cards that are the slowest speeds by Simple Tech and Sandisk and it just flies...Dean

[timmyquest]

compared to a lessor camera i'm sure it does, however i'm sure if you got your hands on a real fast card you'd see the difference. Thats all i'm getting at.

[Malaxos1]

Im not dissagreeing by any means, but I posted the other day that I filled the buffer in less then 10 seconds with 64 photos and it cleared in less than that. I am impressed with the speed on the camera and my cards are not anything more than standard, slow speed...Dean

I did a few simple tests when I got my 20D, see the results here:

Thanks for the tip! I will place my order shortly! 8)

That price seems a bit too good to be true. $259 would be more like it.

I've never used them, but buy.com has a very low rating at http://www.resellerratings.com.

Buyer beware!

[Olegis]

They're less than $185 at Adorama - http://www.adorama.com/IDS2GBUC2F.html
and B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=311828&is=REG

Only if you like to get hosed.

I've been buying from them for years. Read the reviews and you'll see that the problems are mostly related to speed of things and not reliability or honesty.
