CF memory difference.

Okey. I will try to preview my post this time. No more spelling misstakes!

Is the Sandisk Compactflash Ultra II 512M card better, faster, more relaible then the usual flash card?

Is the ultra card worth the extra money?

:D

Personally I have never had any problems with the speed of my standard CF card. I can understand them being of use in digital camera applications where a fast write speed is beneficial but I don't see the point in spending more on a faster CF for PPC use.

Building on Darren's answer a bit.... I've never had a problem with the speed of a standard CF card even in a digital photography situation - but that's probably because I don't 'squirt off' as many frames as I can in as little time as possible...

What I can say is that the faster CF cards seem to really come into their own in a fast card reader (USB 2.0/Firewire) - but even then I don't think I'd spend 'over the odds' on a fast one because I don't think the time difference to offload the images is worth the cash (for me)

www.robgalbraith.com has a large database of CF card/Microdrive performance in various cameras - and you'll see from the comparisons that on some hardware there is a marginal difference between the cheapest glue-n-go card and the most expensive ultra-hyper-mega-speed (II) card, and on other's it's a factor of 4 times different.....

You pays your money and takes your choice....
