Your independent opinion on difference CF card

[birddog114]

Have you used the Astone Gb 45x CF or Transcend 45x CF?

Have you notice any difference performance in between Transcend/ Astone/ Sandisk? writting/ transferring rate?

If yes, please post your independent opinion as reference for our members.

Thanks

I've got an Astone 1GB and a Transcend 512, plus a Tekq 512MB ...

The Tekq is a noname brand, and my first thoughts at when you asked this question was that I'd not noticed too much of a difference between any of these cards.

But that's not quite the case. Using the Tekq, I know that I'd sometimes had to wait while the camera's buffer emptied itself to the card. Since switching to the Transcend a much faster card - that's simply not happenned. I've only had the Astone a very short time, and it seems to be as fast as the Transcend, but I'll know more by Sunday night, as I'm expecting to do a fair bit of shooting this weekend.

I have the Transcend 45x 256.
I’ve fond it to be just as quick as the Sandisk ultra II

Very happy with it

Using a transcend 1Gb... have tried a few different cards including Sandisk etc, haven't really seen much difference, but then I'm not comparing in laboratory conditions... if it works ok in the field... I'm happy
