Recommeded memory speed for supercompact?

Well the image processor in the 350d is Canon's DIGIC II. I don't know
how the internals are configured - are you saying the heart of the
camera - the digital processor (DIGIC II) is the bottleneck?
Yeah well that's where I'd expect it to be.
Well guess again. The EOS 1d Mark 2 uses the DIGIC II and can process 8.5
frames per second at 8.m MPixels! So it is not the bottleneck!!
Ah so the EOS 1d Mk II uses faster cards then?

If you say so - I don't have one so can't comment.



The 1D Mk. II uses the same DIGIC II processor as the 350D, yet is capable of
almost 8x the speed of the 350D, so you contend that it is not the processor
that is the bottleneck, but the card.

What makes you think that the card is the bottleneck, when the same cards are
capable of an eightfold improvement in speed in a different camera?

Or are you saying that the cards used in the 1D are always 8x faster?

I never said the card is the bottleneck, I said the component that transfers
chunks of memory (frames) from the buffer to the card appears to be the
bottleneck. I was simply surprised that a significantly cheaper compact
camera would be faster than an SLR from the same company, costing (with
lens) about 2-4 times the price!

Ah right. I misunderstood, sorry.
