Large/fast card for Samsung Pro815?

    Can anyone please let me know if you've successfully used a 2Gb (or higher) compact flash card in a Samsung Pro815?

    I received a Christmas present of a Samsung Pro815. I'm really enjoying it but I need to get a bigger card so that I can make decent use of the camera on safari in a couple of weeks' time.

    I shopped around and bought a high-capacity/high-speed card (yet reasonably priced) from http://www.komplett.ie - it was a Twinmos 2Gb 140x . Unfortunately it wouldn't work in my Pro815, but seemed to work fine in my friends' cameras and card readers. Suspecting the camera, I sent the camera for a minor repair and firmware update, but that didn't cure the problem (and the repairer was kind enough to try my Twinmos card in another Pro815, with the same result - it failed to work).

    I've tried Samsung support and Twinmos support, and neither of them have tested Twinmos cards in the Pro815. So I'm going to try to get my money back and get another card.

    Before I get another card (and possibly pay well over the odds in a camera shop), just wondered if anyone could recommend a high-capacity/speed card that you've used successfully in a Pro815? What's the high-speed continuous shooting rate like?

    Many thanks!

    Renny

    Might be better off with 2 1gb cards just in case you lose one or one doesnt work at least it wont be complete disaster.

    That's a fair point - and I see that I can probably e.g. 2 x 1Gb or 4 x 512Mb cards for cheaper than 1 x 2Gb - but then my compatibility question still remains: has anyone successfully used a 512Mb or 1Gb card in a Samsung Pro815 camera?
