bought a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II CF on ebay

[leonzwl]

however, it seems a lot slower than my 2GB Kingston Elite Pro CF, lost several days ago. But they have the same reading/writing speed in datasheet..

when writing RAW+L (30D), it always takes 1-2 seconds, making multishots quite difficult.

Anyone has the same experience with Sandisk. It is really annoying.

The prices of Sandisk Ultra II's on e-bay are just too low to be real - £25 for a 2GB card !!

Sorry mate. It is easy to get tricked though.

 

[Broadbandplacey]

im gonna be buying one soon, and im taking advise and not buying from egay!

sorry dude, look on the bright side at least youve not spent £400 on a fake lens or something

and at least you can sell it on as a normal 2GB card if you dont get your cash back
