Mike: I agree; the Lexar card is super fast.

Since I wrote that Q&A, SanDisk has introduced even faster cards. (Of course I don’t know if they are faster with every camera.) Peter

When lightning-fast speed and total reliability are critical, choose SanDisk Extreme IV memory cards. Blistering up to 45MB/second* read/write speeds. …

The Lexar Pro 300X UDMA card is great on the cameras that can use it. I use it on a Sony A700. I also have an older Lexar. The Pro 300x UDMA is much faster. For 12 mega pixel, the 8 gig card is plenty for pros.

Thanks for your kind comment.

Check the Rob Galbraith’s CF/SD Performance Database for a list of several fast cards with your camera; some are not expensive at all.
