Anyone here using the new (to me at least) PhotoFast 533X cards? Just curious to see how fast they really are in use.

I did stumble on their SD to CF adapter...I didn't know that you could do that! I have a few SD cards laying around that could be put to use in my DSLR!...

I have heard of counterfeits but never seen one. Came w/o any bubble pack, or lit. Nothing on the back side of the card. Does make me wonder. It works well though. Fastest card I own, based on my own test. Have not gotten my 8GB 533X card from China yet. will be interesting to compare them. GEAR LIST
