Cant really see how the faster speed will help me. My good old 350D

kenyc Cream of the Crop  More info | Jul 08, 2005 05:05 | #5 It's really just up to you. You don't say what camera you have, but the 20D has a 5 image (or so) memory buffer so you can shoot up to 5 shots without worrying about the speed of your CF card. If you will NEVER be shooting more than that continously then the CF speed doesn't matter when taking shots, it will make a difference when loading/uploading to the computer, but if you're willing to live with that you can get some great deals on lower speed CF cards. I bought a cheap 512 card for $20 or so just to try it out and it works fine when I'm shooting landscapes etc. but I'd NEVER even think about using it to shoot sports. Kenny A. Chaffin

I paid $35 each for them, and I couldnt be happier. I have had absolutely no problems with them, and I can pop off about 30-35 shots at about 4.5fps before they start bogging the camera down.
