Which CF to choose

[BMEngineer]

Hi everybody, Merry Christmas!

I plan to get a CF card for my NX80 but i cannot decide which one to buy. I have actually found 5 brands of CF-OEM, Kingston, Transcend, Hagiwara and Twinmos.

Which of them are suitable for use in NX80 and which is the best to use in terms of reading/writing speed?

Thanks

I am also looking into a CF card. No one mentioned Sandisk as a brand? Is there an issue of access time with CF cards as there is with HDs and CD-ROM drives. Another thread made mention of one card slowing a NX73 while another card a minimal effect. That may be a poorly written driver, but I have little knowledge in this area. Would like to keep business related files on the MS and MP3, JPGs, etc. on the CF. Any suggestions about types of cards for this use. Comments about drivers in this sense?

I've heard that Sandisk has slower access times than other cards.

Really? I haven't noticed anything to be that way with the Sandisk, but I guess you get what you pay for. I have noticed some of the really cheap cards to lock up the clie though. :(
