Denise40 Member 234 posts Joined Jan 2006 More info | I am going to ask a stupid question. I use the regular SanDisk card-1G. What is the difference in these other SanDisk ones-UltraII/ExtremeIII ect. I guess I havn't been following these but I have seen them in the stores, but not sure what the difference was. Also, someone told me that some cameras you can't go above a certain "G", like a 2G card for example. I have a Rebel XT. Any suggestions or explanation of the difference of these cards? TIA Denise_________

TIA Some older cameras are not capable of using more than the first 2gb on a card. This is simply a problem with the file directory structure that existed when the camera was developed. You can actually format the card on the computer and in most cases use the entire card...but if you format it in camera, you will only be able to access the first 2gb. People that know me call me Dan

Not so these days. The Extreme III are pretty good bang per buck IMO. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

(snip) Last year I got a Kingston 1GB card for my 300D and found it to be pretty slow to save, also slow in burst mode after 4 shots. "Be seeing you."

Denise40 Member 234 posts Joined Jan 2006 More info | Thanks Dan and Js! That makes more sense to me now. Does anyone know what the amount of card is the max for the Rebel XT? I would love to get a bigger one as long as nothing is affected. I am going to Alaska in June and would love a fast card w/more space to save my pics. Denise_________

Now I can shoot 10 shots in burst mode - 4 at full speed and 6 more at 1 second intervals. Not bad for the ol' Digital Rebel. Your XT writes faster and will probably take lots more shots in burst with a fast card. -js I have the same card and in the XT it gets 6 shots, then 1 shot per second ad infinitum.
