    I always use SandiskIII and Sandisk IV cards. Better sticking with well known high quality brands.

    And reputable suppliers, I know there are loads of dodgy SD Sandisk cards on eBay, not sure if CF is as bad.

    mymemory.co.uk and 7dayshop.com usually get good reviews here.

    I think you can be lucky/unlucky with whatever you buy off ebay.

    I have a Sandisk 2gb card and I occasionally get an Err99 while using it.

    I have an 8gb nameless job also which works perfectly for me and writes pretty quickly. It's all I use now and use it for horse racing so I take a lot of shots and it writes pretty quickly and hasn't caused me any problems yet.

    The nameless job was off ebay whereas the Sandisk was from a camera shop in Limerick.

    Unless you will be using the 6.5fps continually to fill the buffer then a nameless job will do the job just fine.
