No it can't. Just look at the read/write speed on the card. Not at all the 133mb or anything similar to that.
150MB/s Read, 50MB/s Write.
It's a rather slow card that they label 1000x to sell it. The write speed is 50mb. And that is slower than a normal 400x card
Transcend's old 133x cards have a write speed of 35mb/s and not 133mb/s. Even Transcend say that when buying the card. And also on their website.
That's what I wrote in my first post. You are confused by the 133x and belive that is the mb/s number. It's not like that on any card or brand. Lexar 1000x is not 1000mb/s either
Lars is correct.
As I said in my earlier post the 40D tops out at around 10mbs. The RG database used to contain all the old bodies but they are no longer listed . I don't suppose anyone has any of them ?
And like i said I have a transcend 133x (16 gig) along with a transcend 400x (32gig) as well as a Coupel of old sandisk ultra 2 (8,4&1 gig) I don't know the actual speed of the olds sandisk's because I don't think they have speeds on them (I know they were slower than the old 15mbs extrem 3's) and have tried all of them on my old 40D and I could really tell you which was which (they are all sloooow)
In my 7D there is a noticeable difference.
And by the way transcend are very good value cards.
I am glad to hear that Transcend is a good brand, I only have used Sandisk. To be honest I don't shoot anything fast, but since I'm going on a safari I though oh well let me get some faster than anything I owned so I got the sandisk 8G 30MG/ and that's fine with me.
I got the slower Transcend as extra ones. I am taking a netbook and a 500 HD. I'll try not to delete the images from the mem cards, but in case I run out the, I will. But I will be backing them up 2x. One copy on the portable HD, and on the netbook.
I'm taking a smaller camera that uses SD cards for other type of shots.
What do you guys use to carry the mem cards. I have searched and didn't find find anything suitable for the $$. So I am using a business card holder that its rather flats and inserts the cards without the plastic case, and so far it looks like is going to work.
Canon has to test their batteries to CIPA standards. Chinese manufacturers do not. They just tack on a big number. That is actually fortunate, you really do not want a super high powered battery that can cause a fire or other serious damage.

I am in the process ordering new generic BP-511 battery for my Canon 40D.
However, I noticed that the ones I have been using are 7.2V 13mAH. I've searched online and found out that there are other options for mAH.
They are available from the same mfg and on the sam site:
2,000mAh, 2,200mAh. Does this means that the life of the battery would be extended? I am going on a trip to Africa and will be in the middle of nowhere so I need to get a good stock of batteries.
www.Sterlingtek.com offers batteries that are legit, I recommended a friend they them in his 50D and he has been raving about their longevity.
Yes, thank you I have seen them but they are a bit pricier than the others, and besides they come set at 2000mAh vs 2200mAh. Would that make a big difference when out in the bush and not having access to recharge as frequently
Sterlingtek has been around for the 6 years I have been here and to the best of my knowledge no one has experienced any serious manfunctions in that time.
I think I mentioned that I got excellent battery life with the Sterlingteks, certainly equal to the Canon. They are also pretty cheap at about $25 for a pair.
Why take a chance on some no-name-brand just because it's cheaper still & brags about 3000maH??
Because the Ultra is not 133mb. And no brand say 133mb. It's always figures like 30-40-60-90-100mb/s
