I went to my local Office Max and found ALL their memory cards on sale. I
picked up a 1GB CF Lexar Card 4x for 50 bucks after discount and mail in
rebate.

Just fyi

4x speed...that's slow...this is appr. 600 kb per second, which means that
if you have 5M camera, shoot in quality mode, one shot is 1.5 - 2M big,
means each shot will take 2-3 seconds to store on the card...you won't be
able to shoot fast. Not to mention time needed for transfer 1G of data on
the PC...ages...let's see---about 27 minutes...

I have no problem with lag time storing pics on the Cannon 350 EOS Rebel XT.
It is a little slow on the downloading but I can multitask and surf the web
or email, etc while it d/l.

OK, if you have plenty of time, it is a bargain. After all, it won't be the
end of the world if you wait a while...

Actually, I think he was referring to the lag time between taking
pictures not downloading them.

Basically, yes. I really wonder if there is noticeable lag...

Good on you, Just recently while on holidays I was taking pictures in a
Railway Museum.
Suddenly the 128mb SD Card corrupted on me, and that was game over for
that card...
Moral of the story...Never buy big Cards !
Better to have a bunch of smaller ones...
