Ultra fast compact flash?
I have ordered Canon 350D. What are the benefits of using an ultra fast Compact flash memory card please? Am I correct in saying that it only comes into play when I transfer photos to/from the camera. Can I just use the normal CF which are much cheaper? |

It can come into play in the camera, esp. if you shoot RAW, and use burst mode. So, how and what you shoot will be a factor as to whether it's worth the extra bucks to you to buy the fastest. There are sites that have info, but I don't have any particular links. -- John McWilliams |

Ultra fast compact flash?
To be more specific - it matters if:
- you shoot at fast frame rates, specifically if.. - your memory card is slower than your camera can 'feed' it There is no point getting a card faster than the rate at which your camera can write data. Er ..unless you later upgrade to a faster camera.. (O: Wizzard wrote: I have ordered Canon 350D. What are the benefits of using an ultra fast Compact flash memory card please?

I have the 350D and have no problems using normal CF cards. I use linux on my computer and download with the usb cable (although I have a seperate card reader that I could use and card reader slots on the comp.) that gives a fast enough speed for my uses. I am retired so I can spend time on my computer when I want as well as need to. -- Neil Delete l to reply |
