Hi. I lost all the pictures both on Lexar 1 gig 80x and on Ipq 1 gig... There is a software problem on certain serial models of the CF cards. Lexar will give you a new card ASAP. They have good service. Dont know about others but I got also a new card instead of Ipq. The problem appears if you clic on the preview button while the card is still buissy (red light)...then you can say goodbye to your best pictures ever (ofcorse it was when it happend to me ;-) Here are some links... http://www.lexar.com/support/cust_advisory.html http://store.lexar.com/firmware/ Good Luck TURN ON - TUNE IN - DROP OUT

Wow! That's a significant difference!!! Wonder if it is similar on 350D. Not often you need it, but there can be times it's nice to have this function on optimal level (ex.slider up basejumps). TURN ON - TUNE IN - DROP OUT

Have you tried it out? It makes the 350D alot faster. I spent last day on tests and the difference is significant on my camera! My friend tried that card out on the 300D and he noticed the difference also. Maybe the card he got first was really crap and performed under average? The pictures are stored in cameras buffer memory, and then it is up to the card how fast it is possible to write on it. Things like formatting, erasing and transwer to PC goes also faster with my new card. It is like burning CD's. 40x means it burns 40 times faster than standard speed and 80x burns 80 times faster (think the development stoped at 52x in CD world). Why do you think the card type is not significant on 300D? Is the "burning" technology to slow? TURN ON - TUNE IN - DROP OUT

While there is a lot talking about digital still cameras, I haven't seen too much treads about the memory cards which are the modern film rolls. I have an EOS 350 D and just bought my second memory card. It is a Lexar Professional 1GB, 80x. I noticed significant difference from the previous noname 1GB 40x card. The new card is much faster and you can feel it up with pictures on burst with no stopping(full speed)at medium quality(which on 350D is 4mp). That means you just bite the switch on exit and release it at opening if you want...At full quality (8mp) the camera goes at full speed for 20-25 pictures,and then slows down to around 1,5 pictures/second, but never stops!!! It looks that buying the fastest cards on the market changes the whole camera. I will recommend that especially for people with Digital Rebel (Eos300D) which is a slower model, and needs a little "kick". Any opinions or experiences with different cards/speeds. Has anyone experienced loss off data with the cheaper noname cards? TURN ON - TUNE IN - DROP OUT
