Rob Galbraith has just published an excellent report titled "Selecting a Compactflash card for a photojournalist's digital SLR camera", it covers cards from all the major manufacturers tested individually with the Nikon D1, Canon EOS-D30 and Kodak Pro DCS's. Some interesting results here, especially the 1GB Microdrive combined with the EOS-D30 and the relative performance difference betweek the Kodak Pro DCS's and the D30 / D1. Rob has also examined the speed of several CF card readers.
