I just wonder why you don't state the speed of bundled CF, so that
users can replace it with matching or higher speed card. AFAIK SanDisk
is the fastest, especially Extreme III or IV lines - so you can get
16GB 20MB/s CF or 8GB 40MB/s cards (as stated by manufacturer), and
those are Megabytes per second - so the speed should be enough for 50
users..
