jennifer ann Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I read somewhere that the SanDisk 2 GB Extreme III Compact Flash Memory Card was not compatible with the Rebel XTi. Is this true? I have the ScanDisk II, but wanted another and I was going to go for the Extreme III> Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_lardizabal Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 No, it is according to Sandisk: Canon Digital Cameras SLR EOS 10D EOS 1D EOS 1D Mark II EOS 1D Mark II N EOS 1D Mark III EOS 1Ds EOS 1Ds Mark II EOS 20D EOS 300D/Digital Rebel EOS 30D EOS 350D/Rebel XT EOS 400D/Rebel Xti EOS 5D EOS D30 Whether or not the buffer on the XTi would be able to write as fast as the card can accept is another question. I use sandisk Ultra II cards on my 30D and they are plenty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_howdeshell Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Jenn, I am using the 2gb Extreme III cards in my XTi. They work fine, although I cannot tell any difference between them and the Extreme II that I also have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltpmd Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I got a cheapy A-data 4GB card as a back-up to my Sandisk cards (willing to gamble). It is noticeably slower on read & write in camera and computer, but works just fine. I blew through 100 pictures without a glitch on vacation.

phule Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 [[sanDisk 2 GB Extreme III Compact Flash Memory Card was not compatible with the Rebel XTi]] If that were true, then they would have /removed/ that functionality when going from the XT to the XTi. The Extreme III cards work fine. I notice a speed difference between the Extreme III and the Ultra II cards in buffer flushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_wu6 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Buydig just sold out of their $95 8GB Extreme III. You may need look around. B&H still have them for $99, $297 -$160 = $137 is about $12 more. It may not last long, hurry.
