Appropriate CF write speed for 40D

but there is a noticeable speed difference between extreme3 and extreme4, and anyway this long and pointless thread revolved about the insistence of GaryDem that nothing could perform faster than (first a 40x) a 47x card which remains a nonsense for this cam.

No. Phil's test showed a noticeable speed difference between the 16GB card and the 2GB card. Phil's test showed an insignificant (

Larger cards are significantly slower than smaller cards, so when comparing cards of different speeds then you need to keep the size the same.

By the way; imagine what the 40D would be like if it actually was UDMA enabled?
With a 300X card, it might do RAW at 3fps continuous.

no. I don't have a 16GB extremne3 but if you actually compare extreme3 and 4 of same size on the camera a noticeable (not insignificant) difference is still there. This is confirmed by other owners in this thread.
