Lexar 12x or 24x ?

[echoy97]

I have the Canon D30. If I buy the Lexar 24x, the card itself can handle the 24x write speed, but doesnt any know if the D30 can actually write at that speed?
I know on some older camera like my old nikon coolpix, it doesnt matter what fast card I use because the camera itself cant write at high speed.

I used Lexar 10x 160meg cards with my D30 and was happy. Since moving to 1D I have got Ridata 512 meg direct from Australia for £145 UK including postage. 256 are half that price. They are rated slightly slower than Lexar 24x. but much much less. Do you want a couple of lexars and jumpshot cheap? No you'll probably go Ridata from powerinnumbers.com
