Which compact flash card? Lexar 133x, Ultra II, or Extreme III

i've never had experience with with lexar but i do own 5 2gig Ultra II and i couldn't be any happier. I consider them very reliable, and they have yet to disappoint me. Wether you want to spend the extra money on the extreme is up to you, but as some people before me have mentioned you won't see much of a difference.

I use the Sandisk Ultra II. Very happy with it. Super fast even when shooting 5 FPS in RAW.

anything but lexar.

Sandisk Ultra II would be my choice, or if you want to go really cheap, a kingston elite pro.

I've got one Ultra II 2Gb card, and a generic 'Jessops' brand 1Gb card. the Sandisk is great, it is faster than the generic card by some margin but as I don't shoot at 8.5 fps ( or even 5 for that matter) it is just fine - and I got it for a great price.
they also come with a lifetime guarantee, i have made sure to keep my invoice details, coz if it ever dies on me i'll be on to them....
I see very little need for anything bigger than 2Gb in my case, and would rather have a collection of 1-2 Gb cards - just in case anything happened on holiday etc.

What about RiData 150X Pro II CF Cards?
Price of Sandisk Ultra II (even a bit cheaper). Speed of Sandisk Extreme III (by their specs, but I didn't find any benchmarks). Lifetime warranty.
I am thinking if I need to try one....

I hear that RiData makes pretty good DVD and CD disk media, (good reputation) but I don't know anything about their flash storage. Likely Sandisk or one of the other major players is producing it for their label. - Stu

I've got two 2gb Extreme III CF cards. Great cards. I'm getting two more as a matter of fact. But I've been avoiding Sandisk SD cards like the plague.
