A850/900 are UDMA capable. Here is a nice chart:

Oh, wonderful. That's what I have a pile of.Beyond about 300x the only benefit will be faster transfers to the computer, if you're using a UDMA reader. You mention 133x -- Kingston 133x are known to be unreliable in Sony FF cameras.

I've had no complaints with my Lexar(or SanDisk) 16GB 300x cards. If the reader you are referring to is the one pictured below, Lexar specifically calls it out as the one to get for 400x and faster cards, so it's not going to hold you back with 300x. I have the same reader and I'm very happy with it.Thank you very much! :thumbup:
The Lexar 300x 32GB looks like a decent pick for $140 at B&H. I don't have a super fast reader (I have the Lexar Dual USB on RG's card reader page) so no significant benefit on that end, either...
Have you measured it? I'm getting 30 MB/s right now from my Sandisk Imagemate, and no difference between UDMA 300x and non-UDMA 200x. It works out to about one second a file -- I can live with that.I've had no complaints with my Lexar(or SanDisk) 16GB 300x cards.

Yes.Which 200x card is it - the Lexar Platinum II?
Hmm, I haven't had any problems. We have two 16GB 133x Kingston cards and I personally have 2 266x Kingston cards and have not had a problem with either. Generally I reach for my Sandisk Extreme III cards first, but that is mostly because it seems like a good size (about 200 images/card).Beyond about 300x the only benefit will be faster transfers to the computer, if you're using a UDMA reader.

Thanks Dave!One of many discussions on the subject here(Google knows of many more). http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/a900-confirmed-incompatible-with-kingston-32gb-cf_topic51656.html
