We have our AF100 on pre-order but also need to pick up a Nanoflash. I've never used one before and was wondering what type of CF cards do we need if we want to capture at 100mb/s? Wouldn't we need cards with a 100mb/s transfer rate then? The highest I have seen was 90mb/s. Info or links to the actual cards to buy would be great help!!! TY

That's not quite right. Go to the creative design website and download the manual. It tells you what you need with regard to the CF cards tested and the plug in to handle the higher data rates.

I've got Sandisk 30mb, Photofast 133x, and Photofast 533x. All work no problems at 100mb, Iframe. The 533x will go to the higher bitrates. to 220.. Here's the link to the approved cards and speeds

you are reading it wrong. The 20 and 40 numbers are the recording times on the cards. Basically, any of those qualified cards listed can record at 100MBPS.
 
I use the Lexar 300x 32GB cards myself and have no complaints at all so far. I believe they go up to 220 if I'm not mistaken, highest I've gone is 180 though.
 
I took a another quick look at the chart and realized I was reading it wrong... maybe I should take more than 3 seconds to read it next time? I was assuming the chart would show mb/s requirement for different rates of recording... guess that's not necessary with the nanoflash. Thank you all very much for the help!
 
Convergent Design, the company behind the development and manufacturing of the nanoFlash are specific that you must used "approved" cards. This is not a marketing ploy but rather they have optimized the interaction of the unit with each card they have "approved". The nanoFlash is pushing the envelope of data throughput to these cards so it is important that you listen to what the manufacturer says. Olof in a previous post has pointed you to probably the simplest source to get cards that have been "blessed" by Convergent Design for use with the unit.

I have had success with the 64GB Delkins for the past year.
