Just wanted to share this. These are one of the things I take advantage of online - the too good to resist "sales" or special promos online. Sandisk 2GB Extreme III CF Card - limited time offer with a $10 rebate or This one from Amazon.com <- this one changes every now and then depending on the supplier of the product Just in case you are wondering how I get them to manila - PM me

Hi Tina, I bought 3 x 4GB CF 66x cards two weeks ago at P1,600.00 each for our use here in Cebu. Its relatively slow compared to the exterme but the buffer of the 40D is large enough to absord the 6.5 FPS burst. So far no problem with the card...

Thanks for the info, too, Nilo. I think it's a good idea for us to share info on good CF cards.
I'm always wary about using anything other than Sandisk because of a bad experience with a different CF brand years ago with my 350D. Somehow, the CF pins inside my 350D bent and shorted out the mainboard requiring a P13k fix from Canon. Canon could not offer any explanation how it happens (and they've had a number of occurences) except to suspect the CF card may have misaligned holes.
So it's always good to know about other brands/models that work without problem.
And, yes, Tina, Amazon prices swing a lot.

Just an update regarding ordering CF cards or light items using the courier service that I use. I recently got the 4 Sandisk Extreme CF cards that I ordered from amazon.com that was on sale. I was charged less than P700.00 (rounded off na) for that package. I got the package in less than a week from the time the package arrived at the office of my courier. The reason why I'm sharing this is because I see the horrendous prices that people charge for these excellent brand of CF cards. You guys don't have to put up with it because you can order it yourselves at a much lesser price
