40D Compatibility with 8 & 16GB Compact Flash

[vm1]

<p>Hi,<br>

I was looking to get a 16GB Flash card for my 40D, just wanted to check the compatibility of Extreme 3 /4 or any other make<br>

Appreciate your inputs.<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>i use a kingston 16 gb with my 40d, no problems whatsoever. sorry not sure of the speed but it's fast enough i never have to wait for it ;)</p>

<p>Even the old 10D can handle the new 64gig CF's, so I think your 40D will be fine. My 20D handles a 32gig card just fine.</p>

<p>I use SanDisk 4GB Extreme 4 as well as 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB Extreme 3 30mb/sec on my 40D without problems.

The newer version of Extreme 3 is 30 mb/sec and runs about as fast as a 40D will go without being overly expensive. The Extreme 4 cards tend to be quite a bit more expensive but only a little faster on a 40D.</p>
