UDMA high-speed compact flash memory cards have been generating a lot of buzz for a while and DPNow has done an in-depth analysis by testing them on the Canon EOS-40D, the Olympus E-3 and the Sony Alpha A700.
Here is an excerpt from their analysis and we suggest you read the whole article at their site and to come to your own conclusion.
