5D Mk II with 8GB Kingston 133x

[markrichardson]

Wondering if anyone has any experience of this combo.

I looked at Rob Gallbraith's very helpful stats and it seems that this card should handle stills perfectly well (given that I rarely, if ever, shoot long bursts)

Always helpful to get some actual real life experience from people though...

Personally I'd prefer Sandisk, but that's all it is... a personal preference. Certainly Kingston have an excellent reputation whe it comes to computer memory and I've no reason to suspect that it should be any different with CF or SD cards for cameras. I'd think you're pretty safe in using them. I haven't heard any horror stories about them at all.

cheers

Someone else mentioned that, but I haven't ever actually seen it written anywhere...

Agreed, I'd heard that too.

I'm using the above card for stills and video on a 5D MKII without a problem.

I have a 8gb and 16gb Kingston cards on my 5d2 and have ordered another 8gb card. Works fine, even taken some video that seems fine too

Just to add I have a lexar udma 8gb card and the real difference is the speed of access by the PC when in the card reader
