Which card for the best speed and reliability for the 10D camera and getting the images off the card from a PCMCIA cardreader.
I cant find specs on how fast the 10D will write to a card.
So here is what I am considering.
Sandisk UltraII
Lexar 80X CF Media with WA (which does not offer support to Canon Cameras)
I'm currently using a Sandisk 256 CF card and to extract 256megs takes 3 minutes on a Sony 1GZ laptop!!!!!! I'm going to keep that card for a backup but would like something much faster.
This newbie is a wee bit confused.
Something else to consider...the fact that the 10D isn't a real speed demon in the way of writing...about 40x is the highest you can go w/o the pay 90% more for 10% gain in speed. I have a 40X Lexar card on order, shipped 21 May and still isn't here. I have a feeling the mail getting over here from the US is ssssslllloooooowwwww.... I'm trying Lexar and other than Canon 10D not supporting the WA it will act like a 40X CF card. Another point to consider is that I hope ur running USB 2.0! There is a huge difference in speed between USB 1.1 and 2.0!
