The durability and speed key selling factors I would be very interested to both of these out the EOS 7D is perfectly suited for a speed test.
Whilst student life and home living is a perfect test for durability.
It will be interesting to see if it is worth the upgrade from the Ultra 2 Cards.
Heres what Sandisk say about their card:
"Get exactly the shots you want with professional-grade SanDisk Extreme® CompactFlash® cards. With up to 60 MB/s* read/write speeds, you'll see it takes more than a great digital SLR camera to bring your ideas to life. And with up to 32GB** of space, you'll have room to capture it all in RAW+JPEG, and save the editing for later.
SanDisk engineered its Power CoreTM Controller to take whatever your camera's buffer can dish out. By distributing image data across the card more rapidly and efficiently, this card delivers professional performance." - http://www.sandisk.com/products
You may well find the Ultra cards being a bit too slow for the 7D. I've always used Extreme cards (most of mine are the old Extreme III branded ones), but I did look into Ultra cards when I needed bigger cards for video... unfortunately it looked like they would be too slow for video on the 5D. Only ever run out of buffer once with an Extreme card on my 5D2, but I think that was a camera error rather than a card error.
ReplyDeleteI recently did a post on this as well funnily enough... mine was about almost a 1/3 of sandisk cards being fake, though.

:o thats terrible..I was looking at buying a new extreme card off of Ebay, but they ether looked the same price or too good to be true so went for buying one from Jessops. One of the UDMA 60MB/s" cards.
ReplyDeleteShould do me for now wit a few Ultra 2's for back up when its just stills.
