I now have the 4GB 45x card (it just arrived) and it seems to work just fine too. I've been using a slower 1GB Kingston CF card for about a year now and hasn't given me any problems at all.

The moral of this tale is that while faster cards certainly can increase data transfer speeds in fully optimized systems, in an average system (like mine!), the speed at which the card is capable of reading and writing data may not be the limiting factor on data transfer speed. 1D MKIII) might show a larger difference. It takes 2s less time shoot and transfer all that data to the card with the 133x vs. Both cards allow 6 RAW shots on a 20D before the buffer fills. If I had a faster interface and faster card reader (maybe firewire) I'm sure I'd see a bigger difference, but I don't.
#KINGSTON CF 2GB S PC#
I have a couple of USB 2.0 card readers and I used the faster of the two for the data transfer tests, using an HP pavillion a230n PC (AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08 GHz).Īs you can see, very little difference in file transfer speed between the PC and the card. Here are the results of a very brief test between the Kingston 45x card and a Lexar 133x card. If you are shooting many GB of data and you have a tight deadline, download speed might be something you'd want to pay extra for, as long as you also have a very fast CF card reader.

Faster cards can download to a PC faster if you use a high speed card reader, but for most of us that's not a big deal. For most DLSRs card speed isn't really a factor in how fast you can shoot unless you fill up the cameras buffer (which I don't think I've ever done!). 45x isn't super fast, but it's not slow either. It's the lowest price I've ever seen on a 4GB CF card. The 4GB 45x card at $24.95 (after $40 rebate) seems like particularly good value. isn't included as an authorized dealer in this particular rebate program. The cards must be purchasedįrom an authorized dealer, such as ADORAMA.
