CompactFlash Brand Choice for A80?

[rustyolddog]

Is there any particular CompactFlash Card that is better for the A80? I've seen 256M PNY's that were reasonable and 256M Lexar high speed cards that were expensive. Tnx.

Most camera's can't use the advantages of high speed cards, so they're not worth the extra investment. I'm satisfied with my 128 & 256 Mb Dane-Elec cards.

I use a 256MB 24X PQI card that cost £37 in my A80, i didnt buy it cos its a 24X card i bought it cos it was £37 :lol:

I agree, ultra fast cards only increase your download speed to your computer (firewire or USB"). Not really worth the extra $£.

I bought a 256MB Crucial CF card for my IXUS400 and haven't had a problem with it.

CF cards seem to have come down in price recently - I paid £41 at the end of last year and they're now about £34 (from crucial.com)
