Compact Flash Cards??? Help

[charr5]

Hey guys,
I'm looking to get a CF card when I pick up my D10 today and these are my choices.
PQI
OEM
Scandisk
All are 256 Mb and about the same price. Are any of these recommended over the other?
I heard some poor statements about Scandisk..
All help is appreciated!

I have a couple Sandisk ultra compact flashes (16x) and have not had a problem with them. But it sounds like you're talking about the regular sandisks. (Yes, you can tell the performance between the regular sandisks vs the ultras.)

Anyway, I suggest anything that is at rated at least 12 or 16x. (You don't want the card to be the bottleneck when shooting pictures.)

Despite what others on the board will say, I like the 256 capacities over the 512 and larger. The higher capacities just seem slower...

I use 256 Sandisk Ultra cards also and have been happy with them. I've seen them for around $70 on the net.

I ended up picking up a PQI Flash Card..it doesn't say anything about a speed on the packaging. Truthfully , it doesn't say much of anything on the packaging!
I guess it will do for now, but where is a better place to get better cards? Online?
thanks,

Should have a 512 minimum.
