Need some advice on Compact Flash.

[Myhre]

I wasn't positive where to put this thread but this was my best guess since I didn't see a memory/storage section.

Right now I'm looking at two compact flash cards. The Lexar Pro 80x Card and the Sandisk Extreme III card. Pricing for them is similar so I'm not concerned about that aspect. Anyone out there that has experience with either of these cards? I'm going to be using it in a 20D. Thanks!

This should help a little.

My Ultra II runs circles around my 40X Lexar in my D70.

Thanks for the info.

I'd go w/ the Sandisk, they have better support than Lexar too.

I would definitely go with the Sandisk. I have used both brands in my 1D MKII, and currently use a 1GB Extreme II CF, a 2GB Extreme III CF, and 2 1 GB Extreme III SD cards. I have never had a problem with any of those cards. When I was using Lexar, I did have some problems in the 1Ds I had at that time.

I'll second that.
