Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 1 GB Compact Flash Memory Card:
Not the fastest, and certainly not the largest capacity available, but does its' job quite well, and is affordably priced. Since my camera has a large internal buffer, write speed to the card isn't a limiting factor for me. If you need really fast data transfer, shop around.

Comments about Kingston Technology Kingston Technology 1 GB Compact Flash Memory Card:
I use a variety of CF cards. I bought one in the Czech Republic when I'd filled up my other cards on a long trip. After half a day of shooting, when I took the last picture the card could hold, the camera gave me an error message saying it couldn't access the card anymore. I thought I'd lost the pictures, but with recovery software I was able to get the pictures onto my computer.Thinking it was just a fluke, I bought another of the same model from [...]a few months later. Within a few days of using it, it went bad too. So far, recovery software hasn't been able to recover my photos, but they aren't as important as my Czech photos, so I haven't tried as hard yet.I have never had a problem with any other CF cards. But the two Kingston 1 GB cards both went bad, and quickly. Beware. The cost of shipping them to Kingston for replacement makes Kingston's "warranty" pointless.
