apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | Sep 25, 2013 19:47 | #2 I'd use SanDisk 32 GB 60 MB/s UDMA cards. Have all the performance these cameras can benefit from, but not much more, and a reasonable cost/capacity ratio. Anders

Guys OP is asking for the BEST, 400x is nowhere near the best....and Transcend? Really? Sandisk 60mb/s = 400x, it will take much longer to clear the buffer compared to 1000x card. Come on... Not everyone can afford those cards you know. The SanDisk is brilliant for the money, if you cant afford £100+ for, lets face it, a CF card...

If you want to pay that much then obviously it is best but if you have a budget (we do not know if he does or not) then the SanDisk is excellent. The difference between a Sandisk 16gb 400x and Lexar 16gb 1000x is merely $20. 5D3 Gripped / 17-40L / Σ35 / 40 Pancake / Zeiss 50 MP / Σ85 / 100L Macro / 70-200 f2.8L II IS / 430 EX II / 580 EX II / Canon 2xIII TC / Kenko Ext.

The 7D can only write at around 55 MB/s. The 40D is even slower. Besides, who fills the 7D's buffer? Frank Hollis - Retired mass spectroscopist
