Question on compact flash

[Rgollar]

I just purchased the canon 7D mark II and I was wondering if this compact flash card specs are good enough to keep up with the camera itself.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB CF Memory Card Black SDCFXPS-032G-A46 - Best Buy

Thanks in advance

You have to use Sandisk's labeling system.
Standard
Ultra
Ultra Plus
Ultra Plus Plus
Extreme
Extreme Plus
Extreme Pro
Extreme Plus Pro Plus Ultra
Holy Sh*t Pro

Sadly only a few of those are made up. But yeah It's very confusing. Look at the camera's requirements and it should tell you the best MB/s card for your camera.

Thanks for the replys. I got the sandisk extreme pro 64gb and all I got to say is I am in awe at the focusing of the canon 7d mark II. But thats not much considering I am coming from a Canon 6D.

The memory card has nothing to do with the focusing of the lens.

Video is the most demanding of a memory card.
Page 5 of the 7D MK II user manual shows the minimum required for shooting video is
CF - 30 MB/sec
SD - 20 MB/sec

So 160 MB/sec is plenty fast enough.

How did you decide on a 64 GB card?

Yes I do realize the memory card has nothing to do with focusing. It was just an off the cuff remark after I played around with the camera. I upgraded to the 64 GB card because the price seemed ok and the extra space I thought I might need if I decided to spray and pray lol. I wanted a full frame camera so I went with the 6d and I am very happy with that until I tried to shoot some sports with it. Needless to say I had a 7d mark II ordered that same day after that attempt. So now I have hopefully the best of both worlds and two respectable camera bodies.
