looking for 1gig compact flash

I need a CF card in the 1 gig range - best buy has got this guy: sandisk 1 gig ultra along with its non ultra sibling (which would suck when it comes to transferring 1 gig of pictures back to your computer)


is this a decent card or no? Any better alternatives that I could order and be here by friday?

thanks!
 
Here is one.
The speed is 80x - 12 Mbps, It's a Lexar.
Here are the reviews
🙂
One:
"Even without the current $20 mail-in rebate, the Lexar 1GB 80x CF card is a great bundle, as it includes a valuable piece of software called Image Rescue. For prosumer and pro photographers, it's critical to be on guard against memory errors and be able to recover "lost" images before resorting to formmatting.

The Lexar is a very fast CF card. PAD's review from October 4, 2004 was not exactly correct. The write acceleration (WA) technology from Lexar supposedly implements a multi-sector write mode in dSLRs that support this technology. While this sounds great on paper, in practice it's not important that your dSLR (e.g., Canon's excellent offerings) does not support it. The dSLR is already optimized for super-fast serial writes, and all dSLRs can take advantage of Lexar's high-speed architecture, just like they can with Sandisk's pro CF cards. Indeed, Lexar guarantees that the card will work in your camera, or your money back." 😎
 
thanks for the link man -- thats not a bad card. It'd be even sweeter if I had an amazon VISA. oh well.



P.S. -- thats a hell of a post count you're racking up. 96+ posts per day in under 3 days. Are we a little bored? At least some of your posts are useful. 😉



anyone else want to chime in?
 
SanDisk 1 GB Ultra is decent. SanDisk 1 GB Extreme is better. The Lexar 80x is also a good choice. Image Rescue is available all over - but it is limited in capability.

 
I got a 2 gigger from newegg for $130. Didnt state how fast it is but I use it in my pocket PC and it seems fast enough for me. used it in my camera and it was fast enought for me. Its from Sandisk.
