Buy: Transcend 2 GB, 80x High Speed Series, Compact Flash Memory Card.

I was hesitant to buy and unknown brand but I purchased one some months ago and it hasn't failed me yet. I even used it to shoot my own wedding the beginning of this month [or rather, gave to my photographer to use :)] and it was the first time it was used to shoot RAW.  I have no issues and it is fast enough for me.

Great card at a greaT PRICE

Use with a Rebel XT as a first back up.  Have shot all sorts of pictures with it using all types of settings.

Have had no problems at all.  I don't know how to judge speeds on these things but I do know that the picture is displayed when I look for it after a shot.  Used with continuous shooting and it works very well.

Transfers well for processing.  

I am not a pro by any means, so maybe they would see this differently.

My suggestion is save your money and avoid the higher priced brands.

Inexpensive and reliable

Imagine standing on a hill, overlooking a square with a fountain and the dome of St. Peters in the back ground (the Vatican) in Rome and it's a clear day and your trusty digital camera is in hand.  You meter, take aim and take the shot, you look into the LCD and see nothing but "ERROR 12".  Oh, and your other flash card is full.  Yup, this is what happened to me.  The card worked for several uses when I was at home, but when I was vacationing in Rome it failed me and hasn't worked since.  Luckily it failed before I took any shots, otherwise the now unrecognised card would have lost shots.  DON'T BUY.  Oh and it's not 80 speed.  It is (was) exactly as fast as my 60 speed SanDisk (which has never lost one file for four years).
