I've seen these around from time to time. I can't seem to find any reviews on them. They are like $50-$60.

It's a pretty sure bet Sony does not make these cards, as there are reputed to be
only a handful of actual manufacturers of memory worldwide.

With that said, it's also a pretty sure bet that Sony buys these from one of the more
reputable makers, having them put the Sony label on the cards under contract.

I suspect others around here will flush out the actual maker(s), and offer better
recommendations based on price & performance.

I did some further research and it appears they are rebadged Sandisk Extreme IV CF cards. That's probably why the Sony is also rated at 45mb/sbw!
