Couldn't resist the deal from Adorama. 2GB Platinum II 80x CF card for $80 and a $24 rebate. Looked like a good deal. Never used Lexar before, and with so many mixed review on Lexar, I really need that luck

Maybe that's because I didn't know there was supposed to be problems with them.  Now I think, it wasn't a bad bargain after all Suvendra

I do tend to use my 1Gb Sandisk ones now though but only because they are bigger cards. -- K e v i n --

Since the firmware upgrade last year I haven't heard of any other problems, although I understand why people are skittish about Lexar now.
