I found the Sandisk Ultra II 1Gb card to be a happy medium between speed, price, and capacity (350+ high res photos). $89 delivered from http://zipzoomfly.com Dave

Thanks, JoeJoe - It's better to have 2 Ultra II 1 GB CF cards then one 2 GB CF card. If one CF card breaks down you can continue shooting with te other.

IMHO go for the Sandisk CF cards. I have 5 of them and untill now I had no problem whatsoever. Good luck. Good advice, just don't get CF (Compact Flash) cards for your S2 IS. The S2 uses SD (Secure Digital) cards. Dave

Will probably buy a spare once the prices come down as they always eventually do.
