Lexar Media 1GB Card

First impressions on the Lexar Pro 1GB Cf card are good. It appears that the 80X Write Acceleration actually works and is more than just marketing hype. I am able to get 1 more shot into the buffer when on continuous shooting, the buffer quickly recovers and you can actually see that the CF card access light is only flashing for very short periods of time indicating that it is writing very quickly! The free recovery software came pre-loaded onto the card so I had to copy it off before I formatted. All in all after taking 100 photos of my floor and wall, I am quite pleased. I will give it a hammering in Spain and we will see how well it really holds up!! I can see a few tests coming along in the future as I want to see if it was just the nice golden colour that made it seem quicker!!
