The Sandisk 2GB Extreme III CF card is bundled with the E-500 kit I'm
buying from Cameta. But of course I'm thinking of getting a spare card or
two, and the Sandisk III Extreme seems to be top of the heap right now.
Those E-300 write speeds on http://myolympus.org/E300/writetime/ are
fantastic, I'm hoping the E-500 will be just as good.
Meanwhile my E-500 sits in a customs warehouse in Melbourne while the
paperwork is done. I won't get it until next week sometime. I've got over
the excitement phase, now I'm in pi**ed-off mode because of the red tape
and waiting.
But I'm sure the excitement will return when I march out of the PO with
that box in my arms...
