besides simple storage; how fast the files can be stored. This has seen the creation of various grades of CF where the speed of access is indicated by a multiple of 150Kb, so an 8x card has an access speed of 8x 150Kb or 1.2Mb/sec. Regular speed cards are somewhere between 8x and 10x, High Speed is 20x (3Mb/sec) and ultra-High Speed are 40x (6Mb/sec).
That's the basics of CF out of the way, so on to the ByteStor card in question...
Advertised as a High-speed card with a 20x (3Mb/sec) access time with 1Gb capacity and coming in at only £65 from Amazon (and probably less after Christmas!) it was too good a bargain to miss. Equivalent cards from named brands sell for 3 times as much and surely there can't be that much of a difference?
Arriving in minimal packaging but with a typical snap-closed plastic case, it's a pretty standard Type ...
Advantages: Good Value Product Disadvantages: None
This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.

Advantages: Performance and speed Disadvantages: Higher cost than lower level models
Having bought this card to be used in Canon EOS 20D & 40D digital cameras they are extremely rapid and much better than the lower speed Sandisk CompactFlashes or other makes. The cameras have not as yet had to stop shooting to allow the card to catch up to write data during picture taking even in rapid fire sports mode. Have had no failure with data capture and have been used in extreme temperatures, holiday in Australia (39C) and a family wedding in Austria (-10C). The cards didn't seem to lose any performance in the big changes in temperature which can occur with lesser models. I would thoroughly reccomend these cards to anyone prepared to spend that little bit extra the performance justifies the cost. Look out for sale offers on them to make them really good value for money. ...
