Yes
nice as simple, what the fastest rate the 50d will transfer to the CF card?

Thanks

Erm... Because I want to know as I like to be knowledgable about my kit and cameras, what's the ****ing problem in that?

Pointless reply mate.

Also there are other reasons why...

1. If the rate is 30mb/s there is no point me buying a 90mb/s pro card and expecting to get faster rate.....saving me money.

2. If I know the camera transfer rate I can judge how long it will take for a burst for 14 raw picture to transfer to the card allowing my buffer to be free for any more shots, which could result in a higher transfer rated card to reduce the time, depending what the camera rate would be.

Jesus Christ can't I ask a simple question!

Yes you can but explaining your reason without being hostile would be a better approach.
 
The transfer rate would depend more on the limits of your card and the USB link to your pc than the camera I think.

I asked a question in post one, very simple.

I didn't need to give a reason why I needed or wanted to know.

Thanks, but I mean the transfer from the camera buffer to the card.

Ahh! i see :) THe card will be the limiting factor I guess so faster card will mean faster writes.

Well if you were that bothered just go on the Canon site and look at the spec's then you would have known, and as for being agressive you really need to get a handle on that it tends to shorten your life.... high blood pressure, stress, strokes, heart attacks....lol the list is endless.

I did google first, as always. Hence why I posted to ask.

Canon's website does not show this information

A bit of an over reaction maybe but I do have some sympathy. A pro gave a pretty useless, blunt and unhelpful response (and wrong) to one of my posts once and it did get my back up.

I have a 50D but and have the Sandisk Extreme and the Sandisk Extreme III and the Extreme (which is UDMA) is better. One of the main reasons I got it was for quicker transfer to my laptop and I bought a Lexar expresscard reader to go with it which is great - I haven't even been bothering to transfer to the hard drive to edit.
 
I know but I was on a night shift and had loads of fire drills to do and wasn't in the best of moods at that time! Lol

I haven't looked into the transfer to the comp yet, was the lexar much?
