which is the best compact flash

[dimip]

hi guys,
i m thinking of buying a new bigger compact flash for my s50 !!
the 32MB is too small for my needs.
i was thinking of a lexar 256MB but with the todays needs and the continuing increase in size the today 256MB will probably be quite small tomorrow.
so what do yoy think is the best make for flash cards (lexar,kingstone,...) and what is the best value/money size (256,512,1GB,..) ?

In my personal opinion, SimpleTech makes high quality media, or at least I've had great luck with their SD cards. However, with the 512MB Lexar Compact Flash card being only $104 right now at buy.com, I've been tempted to buy that one... Right now I'm using a 128 MB CF in my S50

In many situations I have found that "Buy the most/biggest product you afford" works very well.

I personally have used Lexar SD, Kingston CF , Viking CF and PNY CF products with no issues. I like my Kingston 1024 MB card the best. Never have to worry about running out of room.

I use my memory for several things.

1) Digital film.
2) Extending PDA memory.
3) USB thumb drives.
