Hello,

I own a Canon 5D Mark ii and my old CF cards are not doing it for me

They're too slow. I bought the Transcend 133x recommended by Philip Bloom's blog and they stop recording sometimes from being bogged down

Would the Sandisk Extreme's 400x be fast enough? or do I need the 600x Pros?

Thanks!
 
I have two sandisk 60mb/s 16gb extrreme that I have not used. I was going to buy a 5d2 until I heard about the 5d3 and the rumors are saying it will have dual slots. I'll sell you mine for $110 for both. Prices go up from $140 to $180. The package has been opened but never used. Let me know if you are interested.
 
I love the 60mb/s Sandisks. That's all I buy for 5D use and they haven't let me down yet. As I've said before, beware of counterfeits. There are a lot of cheap no-name cards with sandisk labels on them being sold online.
 
thanks for the offer for your cards, but I needed them ASAP (i'm leaving for FL in a few days) I ended up going with 90/mbs Lexars, my best friend who has the Sandisk Extreme 60/mbs had his bog down a few times yesterday so I just decided to bite the bullet and buy a big faster of cards.

appreciate it though!

(bought from BHphoto too so its legit)
