I notice there is now a 8MB SanDisk CF card

http://www.sandisk.com/Products/ProductInfo.aspx?ID=1160

but the Canon 5D is not listed as being compatible.
I guess it should be, but that they have not updated their website.
Can someone confirm this?

The short answer is yes, it works with the 5D.

The performance data for the Sandisk 8GB Ultra II is 7th from the bottom. The cards writes RAWs at a noticeably slower speed than say... the Sandisk 2GB Ultra II, according to the chart.

Thanks oldcsar, very useful table.

I think I read somewhere that 4Gb (or bigger) cards could not be formatted in camera, but worked fine when formatted in the PC as FAT32.

I never format in the computer. This is a famula for problems. Always format in the camera or back that you will be using.

I have the 8GB Ultra II and have used it in a 1Ds MKii, 5D and Phase One P45 with no problems, formatting in each camera.
