When it comes to CF cards, specs are about as useful as tits on a boar.
They are composed of lies, more lies and damned lies. I'll stick with
SanDisk Ultra II for my 5D since they're a good match for the speed of
the camera. One or the other will determine the limit. The spec on the
Calumet cards declares 110x (ie; 110x the 150 KB read speed of a
standard CD) which is the equivalent of 16.5 MB/sec. I'm afraid I don't
believe it. I'd stick with the Ultra II which is still $10 cheaper in
2GB size. Believe the speed claims only when you read it here:
