Is there 1 brand of compact flash that is better then the other? I want a 1 or 2 gig and they are cheap on newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2070070068+1053107923+4093&name=%2410+-+%2425). The same size cards are $50 in retail stores.

Are those cards just crappy, or does it really not matter?

and would walmart carry 256 or 512mb cards?

NewEgg sells good stuff at good prices. WallyWorld is kind high on this stuff. Get the highest capacity that you can.

Try Office Depot, they often have some pretty good specials on Flash/Memory Cards....

Try to find the write speed that your camera is capable of and get a card with at least that write speed. The more expensive cards are usually ones with a faster write speed.
