Ordered this card off of eBay (two of them for $75). Took three weeks to arrive, but that's Customs Canada for you.
The card was able to handle everything the Rebel XT threw at it, taking 36 JPEGs without pausing, and clearing out the buffer quickly enough to take further shots; RAW performance ranged from 9-13 shots in a row. Copying from the card to the PC via a reader was on average 34.8 MB/sec (Theoretically 4Gb would take about two and a bit minutes) and from the card to itself via file copy was about 6.8 MB/sec. From the PC to the card was about 8 to 11 MB/sec.
Overall, pretty good for the price. Capacity at the XT large JPG is "999" and RAW is 467 shots. My guess is the large JPEG capacity would be about 1400-1500
