CompactFlash card transfer speeds

Recommended Posts

Somebody please verify that this logic makes sense.

I'm preparing to order a Digital Rebel XT, and want to make sure I order the right kind of CF card. If the camera can shoot a max image size of 3.3MB (average), and I want to be able to take full advantage of the 3 fps continuous capability, is it correct to say that I would need a CF card with a minimum transfer speed of at least 10MB/sec?

Wow, I found this site which is awesome if anybody else is wondering about this kind of stuff. Select the pulldown bar in the upper right and choose your camera. This guy tested write speeds for many different CF cards in many different cameras and logged the results.

You guys who recommended the Ultra II are right. :$ The Extreme III, on the tests I looked at, did not perform significantly faster than the Ultra II.

Thanks for the replies!
