More info | Jul 18, 2006 16:39 | #2 I use Sandisk as many others here do and I haven't ever had any problems.. reliable, fast and whatnot. I'd say go for an Ultra II 1 or 2 gig. I shoot with two 2 gigs and that gives me about 450-500 RAW shots with a 20D so you should get pretty similar... Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

I have 5 total now and not one has ever had a problem. I would get the largest you can afford. I had a 4GB for my 20D and now with my 5D and 30D and they work great. Enough room for a weekend getaway or a paid shoot. www.firemaplephotography.com
