Which CF for 5050 based on speed?

[2 Bar]

I'm looking to get a 2GB CF card. I saw Sandisk has a 2GB type 1 as well as the Ultra II for roughly $30 more. Does the c-5050 write fast enough to get the Ultra II? Or is that card faster than the camera in which case I will get the CF type 1 2GB?

Thanks.

I die to have one right now. If it only 30 just buy it.

Sorry If I was unclear. By "roughly $30 more" I meant I found the Ultra II for $30 more than the cost of the type 1 CF. I did not find one for $30.

The C5050 has been independently rated to write no faster than 16x with any card, but buying faster is a wise investment for your next camera...

I've used a variety of Lexar cards for some time and never had a failure. My one sandisk extreme bit the dust in Little Cayman last Setptember... I wouldn't call that a scientific survey though...
