Diff between compact flash cards	Can't Post

looking at getting a new compact flash card.

is there really a difference between the regular 1 gig SanDisk card and the SanDisk Ultra II card. i know the write speeds are faster on the Ultra II so i was wondering what your experience might be.

there is a huge price difference between both cards.

thanks!

The only thing I could tell you is that if you plan on being able to snap off pictures at a very quick rate then you might want to consider the write speed of the media more. I personally am using the SanDisk Ultra II and it works great for me. I may even give the III a try for my next one but for now the II is fast enough.
