Anyone know the write speed of the XTi? Looking to buy some larger memory cards and was wondering how fast the XTi writes to the card, don't want to waste money buying a card that can read faster than the camera can write to it. I am not worried about how long it takes to upload through my card reader. Thanks

I was silly to purchase a Sandisk Extreme IV 2GB for my 350D...although super-fast, I don't think it's being used to its maximum potential.

The XT falls between the 20D and 30D, so I'd just split the difference between the 30D and 40D reports. However you're worrying the wrong way around. You're better off getting a card that's faster than the camera, since that way you'll get the buffer emptied sooner, and you'll be able to get back to taking pictures sooner. Also, the faster cards will download to your computer faster. If you get a card that isn't faster than the camera, the card will be your bottleneck.
