If you're taking photos of little Suzie holding up her spelling bee award then you don't need a fast CF card. If you're shooting sports photos, though, that speed is the difference between staying in business or putting your gear for sale on eBay.

Here's an example: I shoot world class track & field. With the older "slow" cards it would take my camera 42 seconds to write the 21 RAW images from the buffer on to the card. While that may not be a problem for most people, if I were shooting Jeremy Wariner who's running his 400 meter race in just 43+ seconds then I need to worry.

With these super fast cards it now takes my newer camera only 6 seconds to write the 28 images in the buffer.

No grey hair and eBay doesn't get my business.

Fast cards are nice and these cards are fast.

I added this card to my collection, primarily to be used in a Nikon D3 and Nikon D3S. I also have a FW800 Lexar Card Reader. I shoot a lot of action sports and am usually shooting 7-9 FPS. Writing speed is very important so the camera does not stop firing while the raw files are being written to the memory card. When moving the pictures from the card to the computer via the FW800 card reader is super fast as well. I have the need for speed:)

Bought this card with my new Canon 7D, works perfectly, and has a very fast write speed. I can shoot an entire card full of pictures at 8 frames per second, the card is fast enough the camera buffer never fills up.

I will be getting a second card soon as a backup.
