The S1 IS can use the faster CF cards like Ultra II or Extreme, or even the cards from Lexar WA. dpreview's write speed tests were done on a Ultra II card.

Hmm....i checked the review. He said this "With write times averaging around 1.6 seconds for a Super Fine JPEG the S1 IS is very fast for a compact camera, though at around 1MB/s it is hardly pushing the capabilities of the Sandisk card"
Looks like the P&Ses are catching up. It won't be long before AF speed goes up also. Currently, the fastest of them all are Kyrocera's RTune technology but that's SD. Can whack full-res highest quality at full burst speed till the card fills up, subject to SD card speed. (use Ultra II lor). Of course, whether or not you need this capability is another matter (but I do)
Haha... my bottleneck is actually my PC which is still using USB 1.1!
Gotta find some time for my PC again instead spending too much time on my SLR. :bsmilie:
Just wanna find out how everyone backup their images... spare HD, DVD, etc?
recently got myself a 512mb CF kingston brand from comex 2004. Price is cheap @ $89.00. But how can i check on the speed? As i am using normal DC. I dont think my cam makes any diff if i use ultra speed actually.
From your Kingston CF, there will be a series of number at the edge of the card eg THNCF512MCA. State that no here and I can roughly tell you the speed.
