I buy off MeMemory.co.uk.

I used to think that memory was extremely important and that I should only get the 'good brands'. Nowadays I have a few Kingston cards sitting in my bag, and I shoot primarily yon MyMemory's own-brand CF cards.

I've had two CF cards die on me in my lifetime, and both were 'proper' brands (Kingston and... Hama, I think...). MyMemory's own-brand cards have out lasted them all and never gave me a single issue, so I always recommend them.

(that said, there's always the chance that MyMemory's cards are absolutely useless in general, and I've just gotten very lucky, so like anything else, only buy what you, yourself, are comfortable with).

I tend to shoot Sandisk all the time now, I tried some generic stuff but they strangle the 1dmk3 when shooting raw+jpeg.

Another vote for Sandisk
