What is the minimum speed of a Compact Flash card to be used for a Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT ?

What is the minimum speed of a Compact Flash card that I can use on a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I have seen 133x and 266x cards and they are really expensive. I want to check what's actually needed?





Thanks.

The Lexar series includes the 60x then 80x, 133x, and 300x. Similarly, SanDisk includes the regular, Ultra II, Extreme III and Extreme IV. I would suggest the 80x (12MB/sec) or Ultra II (10MB/sec). The others are definately options too for any upgrades in the camera body. Be sure that the higher writing speed cards are compatible with the camera body. Also, either 2GB or 4GB would be useful (better to buy a few smaller cards than to put all your images on one big one).
Reply:there's no minimum I believe. however you do get the benefit of a faster card by faster reading and writing time.
