200806060804.jpgPrior to our recent trip, I was looking for some extra Compact Flash (CF) memory cards for my Nikon camera.

The CF cards needed to have enough storage capacity without being so large as to take forever to download photos from, be fast to allow continuous shooting and be reliable without costing a small fortune.

Those needs were well satisfied by a couple of Transcend 8GB 266x CF cards. I shot most of my 5000+ trip photos to them with zero problems. Download times were very reasonable even when full.

These cards can be found for under $90 each and there’s a 300x version if you want a bit more speed.

Recommended!
