Y2k Mondeo, 8Mb and 32MB? That won't hold 50 pictures and I only have a 2MP camera.

Antonio,

Stay far away from Sandisk and the regular Lexar cards, even the 12x ones. They are very slow and expensive unless there is some hot deal with rebates locally. Still not worth much IMO if the yare so slow.

Take a look at the comparison Kerrychin linked. Kingston and Viking are the best values and very fast for Type I CF. Check out www.buy.com and www.amazon.com for excellent prices. I first had a generic Mr. Flash 128MB card from Newegg, but is was painfully slow with my camera. Then I picked up a 256MB Kingston and the speed is back.

FWIW, check here for batteries if you need some.
