4gb Cf Eiii

[0gopogo]

I am contemplating the purchase of a 4GB CF Extreme III card. I understand that the card speed is wasted in the Axim but digital camera and card reader performance is at least equally important to me.

But the price is steep. Best I could find, US$415. EIII owners, I would appreciate feedback on the performance of and experience with 1GB/2GB/4GB CF EIII cards.

Guys, there are so many users here I can't believe that noone ever used an Extreme III CF card in either a CF 2.0 (?) compatible card reader or the Axim. Come out of the dark now.

In a SD 1.1 compliant card reader the 1GB SD version does approach the advertised 20MB/s read rate for large files (using HDBench). How about the CF cards (any size > 1gb!). Any glitches when used in the x50(v)?

Look at my Sig. for my cards.

No problem so far with the X50v running OS WM 2003SE.

But have had disappearing card in the X51v

Nope, I bought that one 1GB SD that I use in my SD500 digicam and it works great.

For camera speed, your most demanding need for speed is with continuous frame shooting at high resolution (The [ ]]] mode). You can calculate based on shutter repeat speed (frames per second) times the picture size (MB of jpg) to calculate what speed you need. (MB/s)

Thanks, your sig says you have a standard CF and an SD EIII. I'm seeking info on the CF EIII, however.
