bump, bump

I have the Ultra 3 and a Rebel XT... I don't notice any difference. I think where you see the speed difference is if you fill the buffer and it has to write the images or when you copy off the card. If you are just taking a pic or 2 at once, I don't think you will see any speed difference.

Why piss away money?
 

Hubby said it is really that fast but he says it doesn't matter. The Extreme III 2GB costed over 200 bucks 10 months ago is now on sale for less than 80 bucks. Why buy a new one? Fuck this shit. If you're shooting with a cheap camera that makes you wait while images are written speed ratings might matter. On pro SLRs it doesn't matter much, they buffer normal size images anyway.

I got a transcend 4gig flash cheap at ecost and it works great.
