You are making a conclusion that is not based on fact.

Hmm... New, Canon branded Compactflash card in my hand with Sandisk written
on the back, Made in China, written on side. Form your own conclusion.
Unless you mean that Canon branded compactflash is not the most compatabile
for use in Canon Digital Cameras.

From time to time you see posts from people who ask which brand
high speed flash memory would be most compatable with whatever brand
of camera they have. Since Canon high speed compactflash cards are
made by Sandisk one could take from that knowledge that these would
be compatable with Canon cameras.

There's a difference between "most compatable" and "compatable".
What does "most compatable" really mean? If the card works as it
should, what more is wanted?
