DPReview update their CF comparative study dpreview.com My conclusions; 1)CF performance varies hugely depending upon the file sizes and types. (For example, the Lexar is top on some measures, near bottom on others) 2)Sandisk comes out as an 'OK', somewhere in the middle, for the new card 3)Sandisk comes out poorly for the old card 4a)The article is all about pushing these cards to their limits, it would also be interesting to see what happens if you took pictures within normal but high useage ranges, ie a burst of 3 or 4 for bracketing purposes. Does CF speed make any difference there? 4B)For download speed, very few have firewire. What about USB download speed? How much does speed matter there? (No point buying a Porsche if you can only drive where the speed limit is 50mph) I have asked dpreview the latter 2 q's. Maybe they'll 'loan' me 10 cameras and all those CF cards for a test drive!! :-) Tw
