What's a really good, 2 Gig high speed flash card I can buy that's reasonably priced?

 

Sandisk is always a solid bet. Not sure the D70 utilizes "ultra II".

Usually $130-$180 range

 

Zoeb?

 

NewEgg.com has the Kingston 2GB Elite Pro CompactFlash Card for $144 - $30 rebate [Exp 2/28] + $5 shipping = $119 shipped.

BTW -- speed ratings don't matter much on digital SLRs, images are buffered first on the camera then written to flash.

 

How about this one Ken.

So you getting the D70 for sure?
:banana:


edit: I think this is the one doodoo is talking about.

 

I did a little research and it seems as though the Scandisk Ultra II and the Extreme III are the "fastest" (from a review I read on dpreview.com) It's nice to have a fast card.. Does anyone have experience with any of those cards on the D70?

 

ooh. and thanks for the recommendation guys

 

The Ultra 2 is probably going to be the best card for the money, that or the Lexar 80x. The Extreme 3 is only available either online or at camera shops. Your local electronics superstore is not going to have the Extreme 3, but will have the Ultra 2.

 

kingston makes some cheap CF cards as well. try www.froogle.com

 

 

dang!

 

I use a 1gb sandisk ultra II with my DR, it's fast enough for what I need.. if you're getting a camera that can bust more FPS, the write speed would really come in handy...

the faster it writes, the faster the buffer clears, the faster you can take more pictures...

 

haven't had any problems with the ultra II i got for the d70...

I use Lexar's 80X (WA) 1 gig and 2 Sandisk 512 Ultra II's in my D70.

Since the frame rate is buffered, you can used just about any mem card, with minimal loss of speed...But go really cheap and it's definately noticable.



- g'luck!

 

Maku, great find! Do you find that you can take 3 frames per second with no problem what so ever?
