Little confused about SD & CF memory cards

For some reason there was an earlier problem with various Lexar media and Canon cameras. I don't know the details but in all fairness I believe it has been resolved.

Sandisk is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but has a good rep. And the stores in my area offer some pretty good deals on them .

For decent pricing you may want to look at http://www.fryes.com/ as well as amazon.com. I've purchased from both and have been very pleased.

Yes, I noticed most of you guys prefer Sandisk.

I will check and find out how much $ for 2GB Sanddisk II soon. Thank you.

Lexar 2 GB, 133x Professional High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card for $46.95 after
$18.00 Mfr Rebate from Jan 14, 2007 - Feb 27, 2007

I am not sure about 133x Professional High Speed.

Also, I learned that Lexar offer lifetime warranty for replace any lexar MB Cards.

What do you think about this? Good deal?

Also, I did research at http://www.robgalbrait​h.com …ti_page.asp?cid​=6007-6896

Sorry, no experience with the card - warranties are always good, but make sure you have spares when doing critical work.

I've read somewhere that there were some issues with Lexar, but I can't recall where. I don't have any experience with them so I can't say for sure. I think for the most part they're a reliable brand.

I primarily use Sandisk Extremely III CF cards and Kingston Ultimate SD cards. If you're going to buy Sandisk cards be sure you get them from a reputable retailer. There are tons of fake Sandisk cards being sold by shady sellers. I ended up with two fake Sandisk SD cards (not on ebay, but through a seller on pricegrabber.com), but got my money back. I found out they were fake when I had problems shooting in high speed burst mode. I contacted Sandisk and they confirmed that the cards were fake based on the "serial number" I provided them. Sandisk is probably the most bootlegged brand out there being they're among the most popular. In my frustration I jumped ship and got a couple of Kingston cards that have performed flawlessly. However, I won't hesitate to buy real Sandisk products from reliable sellers in the future. You just have to be careful.

I have used RiData 150x pro 1GB and 4GB Cf cards with out any problems, they are quite fast. Tested speed is slightly slower than SanDisk extreme III's . Newegg has the 4GB version for $71.98 with 3 day shipping included. They also have 2GB and 4GB versions. Newegg is my vendor of choice, thier service is fantastic and get your orders shipped out fast! Highly Recomended.
