There are problems with certain cards from PQI and Mr Flash is you have the latest firmware. These cards are too slow for the cameras software and the result is corrupted pictures. Stick to scandisk and the like.--Pete

Has anyone tried the SanDisk Ultra or the Ridata CF cards with the 121 firmware? I think the SanDisk should be OK, but I am particularly interested in the Ridata and also the capacity that you are using.Search this forum there are lots of threads on CF cards.

I just received an ExtreMemory 128M in exchange for a PQI 128M which didn't work; well, the ExtreMemory doesn't work either :-(
I can format it in the camera, but photos are corrupted.

OK people,
Thanks for your input. Are your RIDATA cards faster than the others that you have tried in the D7? They are said to be 20x, but I do not think that is a true value.
I checked Phill's review, but I wonder how well they cope with the D7. Is there any significant difference in speed when compared to other cards?

The Ridata is my fastest card. 13" for a RAW file. Lexar 12x 192mb is a second slower. Sandisk 128mb is the slowest - 24"! Lexar 8x (64mb and 128mb) are roughly 18 sec. All work very reliably.other cards?
Hope this helps.

From reports of users on Bryan's forum http://webpages.charter.net/bbiggers/DCExperiments/html/dimage_flash_card_speeds.html about 2/3 down the page, I believe that Kingston and Ridata are almost identical - if you look at the 256 mb cards, they are almost all between 12 and 13 seconds write time for raw files.

I am using the 128 and 256meg Ridata cards.
I think they are slightly overstated at 20x
I did check my card against a friends Lexar 12 or 16x card (don't remember which)
his was the 512 meg card (Paid arm and a leg for it)
My Ridata was a couple seconds faster on a RAW uncompressed file.
I am very happy with them. I am thinking of either a Ridata 512mb card or the Iomega 1gig Microdrive.
You will be very happy with the Ridata cards. No compatibility problems at all!
