I sent away for my free CF card from Canon and got this reply:

"Due to a worldwide supply issue at SanDisk, Canon cannot provide you with a SanDisk 256MB CompactFlash® card. Therefore please find enclosed a SanDisk 512MB CompactFlash® card.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. "

Well it could be an inconvenience if Your camera only support max 256 MB :lol:

I'd send it back and say it's not acceptable. Damned liberty.
