I've read thru it already, but they tested the the CF cards using Canon EOS-1D, Canon EOS-D30 and the Nikon Coolpix 995... It is true that the web article gives us a general idea of Compact Flash cards, but how many Singaporeans (Newbies especially..) use these 3 digicams??
I just hope that thru this thread, we can get more practical comments and evaluation pertaining to the needs of typical Singaporean digital photography enthusiasts (who use more of the Canon G1/G2, S30/40, A10/A20, Ixus Series, Nikon Coolpix series, and the Casio QV series etc). As mentioned in the dpreview article, "Your camera and its CF interface has a large influence on how a card performs." So how do the different branded cards perform in these more widely used digicams??
Whatsmore, the prices listed in dpreview is in US$ as retailed in USA (right??), thus it's not really relevant in Singapore's context, cos the prices here may be different.
Another issue is the disparity of prices of the CF cards in Singapore (as seen in many threads in this forum) Perhaps a discussion here of the local prices would provide the would-be consumers a greater transparency of the Singapore market prices of CF cards and prevent many newbies from unknowingly paying too high a price to scheming retailers...
