I am looking into purchasing a compact flash memory card for my digital camera (canon d10) atleast 512mb.

Any suggested/help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

The speed rating on the CF cards refer to how fast you can read the data from the card, write speeds are sometimes slower. I think the data rate is similar to a CD-ROM drive speed rating. 1X = 150 kB/sec. Of course you would need a reader that is capable of transfering the data at that speed to benefit from it. Also, CF cards can be as fast as 40X+.

This place may not have the best prices around, but they have a big selection so you know what is out there.

As to your question, I don't know since I only have 1 Lexar 256MB 12X that I used to use in my mp3 player. And I chose it because it was cheap.
