Whats the difference between the compact flash 1 and compact flash 2:microdrive cards?

I'm looking to buy a digital slr that uses them, and want to know which is the best buy for my money.

Whats the difference between the compact flash 1 and compact flash 2:microdrive cards?
The issues are these





1) Some cards transfer data faster than others, so once you have taken your images or photos and need to transfer them to a computer, the faster speeds (80X, 100x, etc) move the images to other devices faster, this is important as it saves time. Many people have digital image recovery needs and issues when the data transfer takes to long and something goes bump in the night during the transfer.





2) The higher the speed the faster the data is written after the image is taken, faster cards save the data faster, so you can take the next picture faster. Once again photo recovery is needed many times when something goes wrong during the transfer of the data or the writing of the data to the card as it is being taken, get a fast card to avoid data recovery issues.





3) The most important part is this, buy from a big name, I wont rec. PNY as we see many of these showing up at our labs. The bigger the name the least shortcuts they take when it comes to electrical engineering... meaning the parts they use such as crystals, capacitors, NAND memory types to store data are of better quality and workmanship. Find a press release we put out recently about this on a Google search for "eprovided.com data recovery". Larger names are also easier to recover data from if you do have issues as they are more common to find parts for in extreme damage situations, such as when cards or USB devices loose all connectivity, parts break, damaged connections, not recognized in windows XP, etc. We see and recover from these issues all the time, but avoid data recovery or image recovery by taking the advice above.

Now make sure you buy flash memory and not a tiny drive. You get flash memory up to 4gb too.
