I'll save you the trip. Fast cards are wasted on that camera.

Now, if you want to talk about how long it will take to read a slow card via
a USB port, that's a different story.

Yes 2GB CF Cards will work just fine & I say this from personal
experience.

Before you buy a CF card however, you may want to check out this sight
to see which cards work best (speed wise) in you camera:

In general most major name brands that carry a lifetime warrantee
should be fine. Some people are willing to pay extra for faster cards
even if the camera they have now won't benefit from it & there are 2
reasons way that *may* be worth doing.

<1> In the future your next camera may benefit from the faster speed.
<2> When using a fast USB 2.0 or Fire Wire card reader, it will take
less time.

I have both a 300D & a 30D & have been very pleased with
Sandisk Ultra II cards both for their, speed, reliability & cost
effectiveness. Just make sure you buy from a reputable source.

Hope this link helps their is a lot of good information there.

My most recent 2 GB card is a SanDisk Extreme IV. It's capable of about
twice the speed of a SanDisk Extreme III and more than four times as fast
as an Ultra II. The Extreme IV is not yet listed on the site you
referenced.


Here's a link to all SanDisk cards that are compatible with the 300D

300DDigital_Rebel.aspx

Thanks. Interesting that it's on the page you referenced but I still don't
see it on the page that DHB referenced; that is,

And SanDisk does not have Canon 30D on the compatible list yet... If I
haven't known better I could think that SanDisk does not support the
30D...'
