Duracell CF

kartracer · 30 Jan 2012

The Duracell 16GB and 32GB CF cards are very competitively priced, and claim x600 speeds. I read some reviews that were favourable (on DSLR) but one reviewer did comment dropped frames on the 32GB version when using for video.

What have been your experiences?

Usually I buy SanDisk, but these look very attractive in terms of price/perf.

Been using a 16gb card on my 5d2 - very good so far... No issues at all...

Just ordered an 8G x300, at £14 it's got to be worth a try.

The 600x refers to the read speed. Write speed (which is what Sandisk and Lexar quote) is more like 400x.
