Saw these on 7dayshop last night going for £49 each.. Not sure of the brand but had good write ups on the site.
I bought a 2 gig one for £17.99 so i'll let you know how it performs when it arrives tomorrow.

I have one to the 2gb cards and it did seem to perform quite well, I remember reading somewhere about fake sandisk cards that they arent as heavy as the real ones. The 2gb card from 7dayshop is defienalty not as heavy as my 2 gb lexar pro x133, but as i said it performed pretty good, I dont do any fast burst shooting so dont know how it would cope with that, but it hasnt let me down.

Hope that helps

You will have no problems with the 2gb card, I have had one from 7dayshop for a few weeks and it has been excellant. It would maybe slow you down a bit if you were using it on a 1d and doing lots of rapid shooting, if not its a great buy!

Also no problems with their 2Gb version except I need a larger card - or 2, or.......

Did the 4 gig card arrive, and have you had a chance to put it through it's paces yet?

I notice they are now doing a Dane-Elec CF 4Gb 80x for £51.99, and a 133x for £57.99 - both given the 'High Speed' tag....

The (slower? - no speed quoted) Viking card I believe bubbawillums was refering to has crept up to £51.99.
