Hello. I am wondering if is for real the 30x and 40x on the Compact Flash they announce, like Lexar. I upgrade from de Mavica 91 that uses floppy and I see and improve in the read / writte media, yet it seems kind of slow for the shoots that I am willing to do. I bought the first and cheaper 256 compact flash that I saw, after that I realize that lexar has a guaranteed 30x for 20us more. Would the 20 dollars worth it?
Greetings.

For cameras in the 7hi range, you wouldn't see an improvement in processing time with faster cards. In this range these cameras are designed and optimized for jpegs. So, when shooting jpegs, the camera is doing all it can to keep up. When shooting higher resolution pictures (tiff, raw), there's going to be a slow down whether you have a 16x CF card or 40x. These bigger, higher speed cards are targetted toward the DSLRs.
It's like this, in your computer you have memory that runs on a bus at a specific frequency that's set in the motherboard. Say this bus runs at 133mhz. Now getting memory that runs at 166mhz or 200mhz isn't going to speed it up at all. It can still only run at 133mhz. |

From most things I have read, it does not make much of a difference. But, I am still thinking on that MicroDrive mainly because of size.
