If you follow the links for the JPG write tests, you will see that the Transcend 300x and Lexar 300x UDMA cards both have identical scores of 89 (B+), while the Transcend 266x lags far behind at 63 (D).

Looking at the RAW burst test results, both the Transcend 300x and Lexar 300x UDMA cards landed in the “Recommended” range while the Transcend 266x warranted a “Marginal” rating.

Finally, for a look at how the Canon 50D specifically fares with a variety of cards, try Rob Galbraith’s site.

And does anyone know the difference in in write speed from transcend 300x UDMA to transcend 266x? Finally since Canon won't state max write speed for 50D or any do these new UDMA crds or any really make a difference if the canera only writes at alowere speed which is unknown , to me anyway.

I'm planning to test one of these cards soon. Actually, the newer, high-capacity Extreme III cards (advertised at 30 MB/sec) are in fact UDMA-enabled. I’m planning to test one of these cards soon.

But what about a the fastest non-UDMA-cards like Sandisk Extreme III 30 Mbit? the Transcend 300 sounds good. But what about a the fastest non-UDMA-cards like Sandisk Extreme III 30 Mbit?
