Has anyone got a recommendation for a decent compact flash card to go in my Dad's new digital camera? I've heard that some are more reliable and faster than others. He wants a 64MB card - saw a Fuji for £26, any good?

I've got about half a dozen of different sizes and manufacturers. Usually take between 20 and 50 shots a week - more for hols etc. Can't tell the difference between one card and another, never had any problems.

Get a 128 card.....
did a search on google and here's one
www.valuemedia.co.uk/compact_flash.htm

Integral Compact Flash 128Mb 3.3-5V, 5 year G'tee (Samsung controller) £35.24

Dane-Elec Compact Flash 128Mb 3.3-5V 10 year G'tee (Toshiba) £36.41

Seems a pretty good price to me. I bought a 128Mb card a while ago for £43.

Jessops cheapest was £60....

I was told recently by a chap in Jessops that there was only a couple of manufacturers of these cards and everyone just sticks their names on them, dunno if it was true but not totally unbelievable I suppose?

Cheers
