I'm trying to save as much money as possible at the moment so that I can have enough for the 5D Mark II once it comes out. Calgary Wedding Photography by Matthew Hicks: www.matthicksphoto.com

I tend to use Sandisk and I'm thinking about getting a 48gb Pretec card. 5D MK II | 20D | 14 F/2.8L II | 24-70 F/2.8L | 70-200 F/2.8L IS | [FONT="Arial Black"]28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS | 580 EX II

That said, the 5D M2 does use UDMA, so it depends, but 8gb might be a tidge small for that.. I would also throw out a recommendation for Transcend, I got one of their 8gb 133x CF cards right now, works great and ran me about $35 The same card (Lexar Professional 300X UDMA) works more than three times faster when shooting RAWs and almost three times faster when shooting JPGs when used in the 50D as compared to being used in a 40D. It will only "offload" faster if used with a UDMA capable card reader ... see Rob Galbraith's data base for the exact figures. 5D3,1D4,S90,6S&Moment Lenses,Hero4Silver,GPS-E2,2x580EX,430EX,90EX,EF16-35L f/4 IS,Samy SYTS24-C 24TS,EF24-105L IS,EF50 f/1.4,EF70-200 f/4L IS,EF300 f/4L IS,EF100-400L I IS,Kenko DGX 1.4X,Canon 2X TC Mk II, RRS&Pro-Media L-Brackets,Manfrotto MHXPRO-3WG & Roller 50,Sirui 306&K-20,Giottos MT-7371&MH-3300,Velbon ElCarmagne 530,CamRanger,Phottix&Canon Remotes,Lowepro Backpack,ThinkTank Retro 20&Modular System,OpTech straps,Lexar/San Disk Cards
