There seems to a general concencus when it comes to memory cards that the bigger the brand the better it is. I was just wondering if anyone use lesser known brands of memory cards and how well they perform.

The card that came with my 10D a few years ago was an IBM 1GB microdrive. As much as people seem to think they are no good, this thing has never failed me. It's write speed is not as fast as some of the other cards I have but it still works. My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
