kenneth_logan Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm not certain about compatibility, but if the Sandisk Extreme 3 4gb is compatible you would get approximately 640 RAW + jpg on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberwulf Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Do check the write speeds though. If my memory serves, you really don't get any real benefit in write speed between an Ultra II and an Extreme III with a D70. If that is the case, save your money and just get Ultra IIs (and more of them for the same amount of dough), unless you're planning on upgrading to a D200 or other camera that will benefit from the added write speed soon. Darn it, can't remember the site where they have tested writespeeds in various cameras, hopefully someone will post it here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Most likely, you are talking about Rob Galbraith's memory card speed database. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl bochmann Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have used the 4GB Extreme 3 with the D70. As far as I could find, my D70 would only address 2 GB. This meant that I had to use the switch on the side of the card to select the upper or lower 2 GB portion of the card. It was like having a spare card stored in the camera. I would shoot to near full, pull the card out, flip the switch, and reinsert the card. I was somewhat worried about breaking the little switch on the side of the card. I preferred just using two 2 GB Extreme 3 cards with the D70. My final solution was to get a D200 to go with my 4 GB card. (OK, there might have been a few other reasons for the D200.)

ShunCheung Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 My D100 can address all 4G simultaneously on my Sandisk Extreme III. I don't have a D70, but I am surprised that a model that is 2 years newer cannot do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian_castle Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Thanks Guys i have managed to track one down that i could try and have found that with an average Raw file of 5.35mb and Jpeg of 750kb i can get 655 files on the 4 gig card it also buffers quite well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
