DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW!!!,
By Odin_S (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lexar Media 2 GB 80X Pro Series Compact Flash Card with Write Acceleration Technology (CF2GB-80-380) (Personal Computers)
There seems to be quite a bit of hand-wringing and warnings about the fact that only certain cameras support the WA technology right now, including a review from someone who left identical "reviews" across the whole Lexar line and probably doesn't even own any of the cards. What people aren't taking into account is how the card actually performs in non-WA cameras.
I have put about 2000 pics through this with my Canon EOS 20D and I must say that I'm rather impressed. The only time I have ever wanted to shoot more pictures and not been able to is when I've run into the EOS 20D's limit of 6 continuous RAW shots which has nothing to do with the CF card itself. Neither the refresh rate nor the rate of which I can get data from the camera to the computer is an issue. For those of you who like tests and numbers consider this, according to the numbers found at http://robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007 the 2GB Lexar card comes in as a close second to the Sandisk Extreme III. The numbers actually are almost identical with the Lexar card having approx 99% of the speed for JPEG and 94% for RAW. [...] One last thing to note is that there is a possibility for non-WA cameras such as mine to become WA capable in the future through a firmware upgrade which means I could get an unexpected performance boost later. Overall: Great card at a nice price that has worked flawlessly, I'm happy!

Great for dSLRs,

[...]
Lexar's 80x Pro CompactFlash cards are fast, especially if you use them with digital cameras that are compatible with Lexar's "write acceleration" (WA) technology. While popular dSLRs like the Canon Digital Rebel and EOS 10D and 20D and the Nikon D70 do not take advantage of the WA technology, they still benefit tremendously from Lexar's high-speed architecture. In fact, in order to use the dSLR's burst modes, you need a high-speed CF card like this. If you happen to own an camera (Kodak, Sanyo, some Nikons, etc. - check Lexar's website) that's WA-compatible, you'll see even greater speed boosts. From my in-store testing (since I can't afford to buy all these dSLRs!) it was hard to see the difference between WA-enabled vs. WA-disabled, since the cameras were all different. Other reviews (not that guy Brent's generic "how many pictures on a card" crap) have claimed WA does make a difference. To tell the truth, I wouldn't concern myself with this WA thing; I think it's more a marketing gimmick then real technology. Luckily, Lexar works very fast even in non-WA-compatible cameras. Should you get a Lexar or Sandisk? I think it's toss-up. In the old days (read, a couple years ago) Sandisk had some serious QA problems, leading to tons of defective memory cards, but that seems a thing of the past. My recommendation: buy whichever that's cheaper.

DO NOT BUY THIS CARD!,
This review is from: Lexar Media 2 GB 80X Pro Series Compact Flash Card with Write Acceleration Technology (CF2GB-80-380) (Personal Computers)
If you own a Canon camera, Canon does NOT support WA (Write Acceleration) feature of Lexar's high-speed cards:
