vic_. Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 FYI, B&H is having a sale on Lexar CF cards (133x + WA only). 8GB CF cards are going for $100, and then you get a $50 rebate per card from Lexar, giving a net cost of $50. Not bad for 8GB. There is a limit of three rebates, so I bought three. 2GB and 4GB's are also on sale, I wonder what's going on. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=search&A=search&Q=&sb=bs%2Cupper%28ds%29&sq=asc&ac=&bsi=&bhs=t&ci=1097&shs=&at=Brand_Lexar&at=Type_Compact+Flash&advancedSubmit=Submit+Query Is this the lowest price out there?

vic_. Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Of course, I messed up the link. They are the black and gold cards: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/1097/Memory_Cards_Card_Readers_Memory_Cards.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Speaking of Compact Flash cards, there is a news article about a new, incompatible CFast card: http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-9877176-39.html That may, again, may, become mainstream in a couple of years, but apparently both Canon and Nikon are involved in its development (standards). Whether that will become reality is not entirely known. But I wouldn't necessarily stock up on CF cards right now; do buy what you really need for now but no more. I also wonder about the implication on current DSLR bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp_and_ap_the_glass_eye Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello Your educated opinion please? Can I use an 8Gig card in my Canon 5D? I need another couple cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendel_leisk Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 JP, look up the latest 5D firmware update: there is some mention of card capacities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 A relative of mine has a 5D and he uses a 12G SanDisk Extreme III on it. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that ANY 8G card will work on the 5D, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
