Sarbjit: I don't use Canon printers, but I can offer some insight into the other two items.
I recently bought the same 2gb Lexar 80X card from Amazon. If you shoot using the fine JPG setting, the card reports space for 483 images. Shooting in RAW mode (with no imbedded JPG) will yield about 148 images. As for speed, if I use a 4x Lexar card and set the camera to high-speed mode and hold down the shutter button, the camera will shoot 23 frames at 5 frames/sec without a pause. With the 80X card, I can shoot 42 frames at the same rate before the camera has to pause because the frame buffer is full. Obviously, this may or not be useful depending upon your photograhic style and subject, but faster cards are clearly faster, unlike the 10D/D60/D30. If you shoot in RAW mode, the camera will shoot 9 frames and pause no matter what speed card you have in it. Another bit of advice on the Lexar 80X cards, there are older and newer versions that are not the same speed: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-6461-7366 Mine is the newer version. Also, the rebate requires that you buy a camera and printer. It's against my normal feelings to say this, but Lexar is offering $30-40 rebates on the 2Gb card at many online resellers (but not B&H), so you might do better to get the card elsewhere (sorry, Henry): Adorama: $154 after rebate: http://www.adorama.com/ILXCF802G.html?searchinfo=lexar%202gb&item_no=2 Newegg: $155 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-170-321&depa=0 Tom P. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Singh, Sarbjit (S.) > Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 8:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: EOS Canon Camera + Printer Deal - Which One To Buy ? > > Finally I am relenting to the digital world, I am planning to > call B&H in the next few days and place an order for an EOS > 20D with Lexar 2GB 80x CompactFlash Card.
