CF card for A650

[elijah_free]

<p>I am getting an A850 the end of next week. Suggestions please for a CF card to compliment it. It will be a 16 gig card. What type, etc please from members that have an 850 and the card they use. Thanks so much.</p>

<p>I have the A850 and I use Kingston 16GB 266X Ultimate series. You don't really need a terribly fast card because the camera only shoots like 3 fps anyway. <br>

I can take 424 raws, which is slightly on the low side. I might upgrade to 32GB.<br>

If you fill your buffer it takes about 10-12 sec before its fully clear. <br>

Hope that helps.</p>

<p>I have tried many cards on my A700 before the much anticipated A850. I will recommend to buy the fastest UDMA CF cards.<br>

Cards working fine on my A850 are, sorted with decreasing writing speed, Transcend 400x 16Gb, Sandisk Extreme 60MB/s 16Gb, Sandisk Extreme IV, Sandisk Extreme III, Sandisk Ultra 30MB/s, Photofast 366x, Pretec 233x 16Gb</p>

<p>Pretec 233x 32Gb does not work on my a850</p>
