CF/2 versus microdrive write speeds


Does anyone know if microdrives have longer write times between shots versus CF/2 cards. i'm upgrading from an old mavica and write times to floppys always had me missing a shot. i'll be purchasing a canon 300D in the next week or 2 and don't want a repeat of the lag between shots. also, if anyone know how much of a battery drain microdrives are compared to CF media ANY input would is welcome and greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!

  Hi Ap.

There is a fairly old but relevant article here:-

Believe me, with the shot buffer of the 300D either a microdrive or CF card will totally outperform the old Mavica/floppy system.

Enjoy the 300D, super camera.

Cheers
DC
