Compact Flash

What is the best 512 MB compact flash to use with the Canon G5?

What is the minimum write/transfer speed acceptable for underwater photography?

Thank you,

I recently picked up a Transend 45x 512 MB card from NewEgg.com. I think it was $125 all told. It is noticably faster than my old generic 256 MB card. I don't see so much difference in the Oly 5050 camera I use it with, but when transfering pictures via a USB2 card reader it really flies. Where it might have taken 3 or 4 mintues to copy down 200 photos, it takes less than a minute now. Considering the price difference was only $30 or $40, I think it's a good deal.

And these things are only getting cheaper.

Ditto on the Transcend x45 512mb..........helped my cp5000 write times considerably........was using a Viking 512mb

Thank you much.

After checking out the review on digital film, I bought the 1Gb IBM microdrive. Price has dropped a lot. Am quite happy with it. B)

Be sure to check out the CF card database at Rob Galbraith's:

It has card-to-computer read/write rates as well.
