uh, that's not a very technical question. maybe you might want to rephrase it somewhat..
 

Seems clear enough to me that SanDisk and Lexar have a good standing in the market. But there are also many other brands. Not sure if they're a good buy in terms of value. I'm planning on a Lexar 40X. Got news that prices might fall next week.
 

just got a pretec48x 512mb at $185.... i did a benchmark....seems like the card beats my sandisk ultra2 256mb in some waays.... wonder why....
any dslr user out there tried this card?
as i no dslr....can only use PC to test....
 

How useful really is the read/write speed of a fast CF card, if it is used on a camera with limited speed? That, I wonder.
 

Using Lexar Pro (40x) for oh... 2 days :bsmilie:

Quite cheap, at $399 for 1GB.. you mean price will drop somemore??? :what: :eek:

GYR
 

Yup...crossing my fingers on that. News was from a local distributor. Guess time will tell.
 

Don't need news from anyone...just look at how much is a 256mb SD selling 1year+ ago....and today....lol

infact....newer, faster and bigger size is released.... price of smaller size cards will go down....its a fact....

memory cards price will drop n drop n drop until no new cards is available.... but are u gonna continue to wait for this day? till end of ur life u might still waiting for the cheapest card to come....never ending wait...haahaa...
 

Only a fool would wait that long. Just need to wait for a slight plunge and that's good enough. So if its like within 2 weeks or so, a little patience helps.
