As I have just got my 7D I find that my current CF cards are not clearing the buffer as fast as I would like as the highest speed I currently have is 80x. This was never really a problem with my 5DMk2 and my current CF cards even though they are not particularly fast.

I am thinking of buying a couple of Lexar 4GB 233x Professional as these give a write speed of 35MB/s which although are 10MB/s less than the Sandisk Extreme IV and the Lexar 300x Professional Cards are still considerably faster than my current cards.

They are a little quicker than the Sandisk Extreme III series which are 30MB/s.

The Lexar 4GB 233x Professional CF Cards seem to be by far the best value for money currently at £20 each delivered, whereas the 8GB cards are £49 and the latest 300x (45MB/s) cards are £36 for the 4GB and £61 for the 8GB.

Has anyone any experience of these cards?
 
I have ordered a Transend 600X 8Gb card to go with my 7D. From looking online they seem to be the best in the 7D tests.

I can dig out the link if you like.
 
2nd for the link after my weekend test I know I will probely need at least one feaster card than the sandisk extreme III's i got now.
 
Yes, the link would be good please :thumbs:

600x, god how much are they?
 
Just finding it now. I got the card for £50, but as a 1.00am private ebay auction finish. But they seem to be about £60 - £70 for 8Gb and are 90Mb/Sec
