As we have gained us new cameras that need CF memory cards, we have put ourselves on the search for affordable, yet not too slow cards. We struck gold with these cards. They are from large enough to store a lot of pictures, and possibly and at times a little movie. In addition they are also fast enough to make optimum use of the capacity and the speed of the EOS 7D. For testing we had in the short term slower cards and were absolutely disappointed. With the memory cards from SanDisk can not go wrong.
