Hi everyone!

I've got some questions to ask. I currently use Sandisk CF cards, and I'm going to purchase Sandisk's USB 2.0 card reader soon.

So anyway, the cameras that I use often are the rebel 400D, 40D / 50D and at the end of year, I'm going to purchase a 1D mark 3.

Which types of cards would be optimal and not "overkill" for the cameras?

I currently have 2 x 2GB CF extreme II and 1 x 8GB CF Extreme III. Both types are not UDMA right? The 400D and 40D definitely doesn't use UDMA tech, and I heard that the 1D3 is doesn't use UDMA tech as well?

Would appreciate any help from you guys, so that I don't overspend on speeds I don't need.

I'm planning to purchase another 8GB CF extreme III card so that my card reader still transfers at 30mb/s.

Cheers,
Zexun
