CF Memory card for Olympus 7070

Jun 26, 2005 4:43AM PDT

Can someone recommend a good Compact Flash memory card for the Olympus 7070? Sandisk sells Regular, Ultra II and Extreme III. WHich if these would work best for this camera? I figured I would buy a 512 MB or 1GB, but does it really matter whether it is regular or ultra II? Thanks.

Olympus does not state that a high speed card is required or helpful.

In most non DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras, high speed cards provide no improvement in performance.

Save a lot of dollars and get the standard SanDisk card.

CF Memory card for Olympus 7070

Id recommend getting the 60 x Speed Memory CF card ''DANE ELEC'' XS type. 60 x speed is about 9MB a sec transfer.

Ive personally purchased from http://www.cell-savers.com in the past and lookin at their site, their prices seem much more reasonable too.

Hope this helps
