I am considering purchasing the Digital Rebel XT and wondered if you have been happy with the photographs it takes and the camera in general. I have only ever had "point and shoot" cameras and now want to be able to take better photos. My digital P&S has bad shutter lag and I need something that takes photos instantly. Digital Rebel XT seemed to be just what I was looking for...and could afford. Just looking for more opinions.

You can check out comprehensive tests at

The "executive summary" is that any of the major brands should work fine. The differences only become significant if you regularly shoot in "burst mode," with rapid sequences of sports, children playing, and other action shots.
I have had good results with the SanDisk Ultra II.

When I posted this question, I had not yet bought the camera, but now I have. I am trying to learn to use it. I think that I will really like it since I had a film SLR before.

I think the SanDisk products are very good. I don't go for the best price, I go for the best product. I don't want my photos(especially travel photos) compromised by an inferior product. Memory does go bad.

Does anyone have experience with Sandisk Extreme CF cards? I have bought 3 Ultra II cards, but now I wonder if I need the Extreme cards for my upcoming trip to India where it can be very warm.

Check the compatibility between the write speed of the camera and that of the card. Some cameras do not write as fast as the card will accept. Maybe your next camera will, and will accept the same card format? CF vs SD.
Toshiba and SanDisk make most of the chips used in card memory. Lexar, Viking, Corsair, etc. use their chips.
Do seek truth in all your travels and you will not lose images, crash drives, nor scratch CDs.

It realy depends on how fast you want to take picture. There are several speeds of cards 4x, 8x, 70x etc. The higher the X, the faster it will store the photo. Also, the slower speed cards usually have a short warrenty.
A Microdrive will work the fastest, but they have a very high failure rate. They are also easily damaged.
Lexar and SanDisc make several speeds with various warranties. I personally like Delkin, they have lifetime warranty of their cards (except the Microdrive)
