Reddit reviews SD-CF II: SD/SDHC/SDXC to CF Type II Adapter

Except those compact flash cards are crazy expensive for anything higher than a few gigs. A SD-CF adapter is the most economic way to get you back in the >100Gb range the iPod originally had. I still have a functioning 160Gb model and it's nearly full, so there's no other way I'd be able to fit all my music on it.

Edit: You're still looking at around $100 total.

Also guitar picks work as pry tools.

This is great stuff! Just FYI, they do make CF adapters for the eye-fi, but I think you do take a speed hit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000YZGCIU

I use this:

with

and it works perfectly. I shoot video/weddings with it and havent come across a buffer issue. The only issue I did come across was using a mucro sd/sd adapter/sd to cf adapter and the buffer was unbearable.

I originally bought this set up hopefully to work around the bent pins in my 5dmarkII. this set up didn't make it worse or better, since you still need to take it out of the CF slot completely.

Why is this my main set up now?

32GB cards are about 20 bucks compared to the high price of a 16GB CF card. 16 GB I can maybe shoot 500 photos on RAW, when in 32 I can easily double that. I don't need to depend on a card reader as well.

Will something like this work?

Looks like it just turns SD card into a CF 2 card. Just making sure.

Pretty well so far. The sd card just goes in the slot in the cf/sd adapter, I haven't been taking much pictures because of finals this week. It's nice to use a larger capacity for CF format, since large CF cards are expensive. CF cards are usually used on higher end and older cameras. Just make sure that your camera has updated firmware to use larger card sizes and can use CF II, because they are bigger than normal CF cards you usually get.

They are something like this.
