So far none.

Using a Sandisk Ultra 2 2GB SD Card with the converter on my 300D - no issues. Have a friend using a 1GB Sandisk Ultra 2 as well on a 20D ... no issues.

thx for telling!!
then i no need to waste $$ for buy new CF, cos i hv 4 x 2GB SD..:S

how much is the converter cost? and where to get it?

[dEthANGeL]

Cost varies from retailer to retailer. Some can charge as high as $80 @ SLS. So beware.

1 Shop sells it pretty cheaply - head to SLS, 6th floor, look for a shop on the same row as Mediamart Computers - towards the corner - IT Image.

FYI those who are interested can get IDE -> CF Card adaptor modules there too

I have this for sale if anybody wants one (PM me):


It slows read speed to half and write speed to about 1/3.

I got the SD to CF converter from It image at Sim Lim Square.

http://www.it-image.com/Offer.htm

IIRC, I bought it at $29 while the rest of the shops were quoting $40 for the same brand of SD to CF converter.

Don't even try the adapter

You'll have to get real CF cards

Letting go of the adapter for $25 if anyone wants it. Rarely used. I mean it.
