Currently use scandisk, however thinking of getting one of these 1GB Compact Flash Elite Pro (8MB/s) made by Kingston. Anyone used these cards, any comments pro/cons?

Thanks in advance......

I absolutely love the card. I have never had a corrupted image or anything on mine. I have heard that they aren't the fastest cards if you are shooting faster cameras and shooting subjects like sports. I shoot using a 300D and never really shoot sports, so I haven't seen any problems.

Sandisk Ultra cards are faster and reliable.

I'm using a 2GB version of the Kingston along with some Sandisk Ultra II's on a 20D for motorsport and to be honest can't tell the difference.

I'll personally be sticking with sandisk and lexar, they are the fastest and most reliable, backed up by a 10 year / lifetime guarantee respectively
