Wow, talk about cheap storage! These Lexar Cards really are 30 bucks! JR Music World is a trustworthy dealer, I've bought a few Canon lenses there with no issues. In fact I purchased a Mac Quadra 610 from them back in '94.

There you go, get 'em while they're hot! OH, ONE THING: they are rated 80X, which is too slow for video, especially 5D MKII video, but it you're just shooting stills, it's a great deal.

Yes, that's a bargain. The same item is $50 at NewEgg (free shipping).
Pete D. has no problem using cheap CF cards.

Dang, I dont really need any cards, but a couple of 16GB would have been nice to have at that price.
