Viking CF512M 512 MB CompactFlash Card for $70

Seems like a good deal to me. I have heard these are good cards as well.

I have a Viking 512 and a 1Gig,. they are both rated a good deal faster than some of the other "standard speed" cards.. and they have served me well (the 1GB is only a few months old,. but the 512 is just under a year and was dropped in the ocean last May... )

It still works.

just ordered one, thanks Nascar Nut!

Hey, Thanks, NN. Got one too. Can't have too much storage!

I see that the actual price of the card is $99, not $70.

Rebates don't count with me. I refuse to let those companies harvest my address for junk mail.

I have a Sandisc 256 on my 300D. The write speed is fairly slow.

I found out the hard way yesterday when my 3yo decided to give herself a "lotion bath" in the kitchen sink. I grabbed the Reb and started shooting away, I quickly got a err message after 3 shots.

I looked on the dpreview site for reviews on CF cards. I didnt realize there was so much difference between these cards.

OH yeah, you definately want the Ultra II or Extreme.

Very slight increase in speed in in-camera writing/reading. But definitely faster read/write from card reader to PC than the regular Sandisk.

considering that you aren't buyng alot of these cards, there isnt any reason not go with the better quality stuff.
