Hmm. I'd worry about "cheapest" if that meant no-name brand... :eek: Do you favour any particular brand? I have Sandisk and Kingston and, touch wood, have not yet been let down.

I was let down once by a SanDisk 16Gb CF card (fortunately with no loss of data) and it took over a month to get a replacement under warranty including having to send the failed card to the Czech Republic (or somewhere like that). Since then I've started to use 8Gb 300X Lexar Pro UDMA cards and so far had no problems. I agree with others that Picstop or MyMemory offer good service and prices.
