Actually, I have the Extreme, but I've come to realize that the Extreme is overkill and the Ultra II has about the same specs as the Extreme, the Extreme being a bit more rugged.

Oct 13, 2005 20:29 | #4 Well, I can't say fore sure. All I own right now is SanDisk Ultra II's. I do know that the Elite Pro's are Kingston's top of the line and are much fast (actually their speeds posted are faster than my SanDisk Ultra II's). For the price, I figure I'm willing to take the chance. I'll let you know when I get mine. I just checked, and they sold over 100+ of them today from when I originally posted this.

They are still a very capable CF for the money, and the slightly slower speeds doesn't affect many people in most situations. 7D, 10D, Canon EFS 18-55mm modded

I just performed an unscientific test with my IGB Kingston Ultra Pro 50X, which cost me all of $19.95. I shot a burst of 9 shots at 1/320 with my XT using both the Sandisk Extreme and the Kingston. My test consisted of how long it took the light to go out after the shots were taken. I simply counted at the same cadence to each. The Sandisk was to a count of 7 and the Kingston a count of 8.5. Obviously slower. Of any real consideration? Nope. Seems fast enough and reliable enough for me. It also has a good reputation and usually is rated near the Sandisk and Lexar. If there are any left at BUY.com, I suggest you scarf them up. If you can apply for the credit card, you get $30 off.
