memory cards

I am planning to get more memory cards for my cp5700. There are so many different types available. Are there any makes that are better than others or any to avoid?

Mary,

I bought a CF Transcend 512mb card. As you can check on this site, the chacarteristics are very good. I confirm with my CP5700 and my old CP990 that the performances are fine.

Sorry, Can't figure out how to make it a link, but its Amazon.com.

VIking 256MB for $65.

That is a great deal. I just wonder how good the viking cf is. I know the lexar is really good and reliable. When buying a cf, that is one area where I really don't believe in skimping.

Rich,

A good friend of mine bought that Viking CF for his 4500, and is very satisfied.

I use the 256 Viking in my 5700 with no problems at all. And that is really a great deal.

I would suggest doing a search on this forum for Viking. I was going to get a Viking card for two reasons. 1.) The dpreview tests of CF on the Nikon 995 rates the Viking as being the fastest 2.) They are much cheaper than many of the cards out there.

After looking what people in this forum had to say about Viking I ended up getting a Lexar. It seems that the quality control on Viking CF is lacking. Some people swear by their cards while others claim 8-10 second write times. I have no doubt that some of the Viking cards are really fast, based on read/write times listed on the dpreview review. But it was ultimately the forum posting where users sent back cards after clocking 8-10 sec. write times that made me choose the Lexar card. I didn't want to deal with the hassel of getting one of the bad ones, and having to send it back. http://www.ecost.com is blowing out 12x 128 & 256 Lexar CF cards right now, with rebates to boot. I found them very pleasant to deal with.

Ecost.com is a very good place to buy CF.
I bought my first 256mb CF form them. I got it with in two days.

Last Dec., i was going to buy another one for my friend, but they asked me to send them a copy of my Credit Card and Picture ID. They said my credit card does not issue from American Bank. I wasn't very happy with that. I know there are many scam, but i don't feel save to send them those information about myself. I told them to phone my Credit card company, but they refuse. So....
