PIXELFLASH is a new brand in the market for CF Cards. Dose anyone use it ? What is your review ? I am planning to but it for my new Canon 7D

I've never heard of that brand. I would strongly encourage you to buy solid, brand name CF cards. Two brands that are well respected are Sandisk and Lexar. I'm sure others use brands other than those, but don't try to save a little buying cheap memory cards.

I'm with Keith - don't go with ANY off-brands. Good, reliable brans like SanDisk, Lexar, and a few others will serve you well and are extremely reliable. You have a good camera - use good CF cards. San Disk even comes with a recovery tool for the CF card.

A little more advice Hussain - don't buy memory cards off of E-Bay or other bargain sellers if you can avoid it. There are many, many fake memory cards out there and they look very convincing. Stick with a reputable camera or electronics store or online seller (B&H, Adorama, NewEgg, etc.) and you should be fine.
