Compact flash card reccomendations please

[Steve Randles]

I've had a recent dissapointment with a new compact flash card that had to be sent back due to failure.

 

Can anyone reccomend a brand or make that is reliable as I will be ordering a new one before the evening is finished (next five hours).

 

I'm looking for a 1GB card for my Digital Rebel.

 

Thanks in advance

Lexar 1GB 80X, in my opinion, are the best money can buy.

 

I use a Lexar 1GB CF card myself.

 

Lexar were the pioneers of the CF card.

 

Following link to a Lexar 2GB 80X CF Card.

I have been using Lexar 40x cards (got 5 of them) and they are fast and have been fine. I also have a 2gb, Dane-Elec, seems to be as good, 7dayshop do them at a good price.
