Amazon has the Transcend 32 GB Compact Flash Card 400X (external link) on sale for $35. About $10 less than others, but I'm sure someone will find something better. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I use this card and find it to be fast enough for everything I shoot :). I have had 0 problems with it.

I just ordered one. I have the 16gig card and it has always worked well in whatever body I used it in. Hopefully the 1ds miii will perform well with the 32gig card.

I find the read speed on this card to be faster than my Sandisk 16gb extreme 95/Mbps when coupled with a USB 3.0 card reader

^^^ Do you really need that many card SMP_Homer?

It's $39.99 this morning (Thurs. 9/26/13). Why Amazon's price jumping around so much?

I really do....

I don't re-use cards used for a wedding until that wedding has been edited and delivered - I usually go to a wedding with a 32 in each 5D3, and a 16 in the 5D2... none get full (or rare when it happens).... and always bring a handful of 16s just in case...
I also supply my 2nd shooter with all the cards he will need that day...
imagine a weekend with 3 weddings (Fri-Sat-Sun)... that's 6 32 gig cards, and 3 16s, plus whatever the 2nd shooter (if present) uses... or back to back weekends with 2 weddings, etc...

use 16s for engagement shoots, but those I will reformat once the files are on laptop and raid box...

at the end of the night, cards are copied to laptop, and then to raid box, and put away... never needed to go back to the card for a file, and if I really needed to I'd reformat something if I really needed - but I like having that extra temporary layer

I bought this card when the last sale was around. Just had my first error with it the other night at a corporate event I was shooting. With 865 shots to go, I got a "Cannot make Folder, CF card full" error. Never seen that before. Had to power camera off, use another card and format it, then I put the transcend back in and it worked like nothing happened. Strange but now my confidence isnt as high in it as it was. Photos were downloaded without an issue.
