I highly recommend reading this Site's extensive testing of multiple CF cards in various higher-end digital cameras as well as card to computer tests of CF and SD.

All CF cards are not created equal. Some are a lot faster than others and the differences are quite big at times. The pricing for the faster cards is a lot closer than in the past and I think it is worth the nominal price difference. It pays to shop around online. I just bought a 1GB Kingston Ultra CF for $59.99 (after rebate) at Buy.com, which blows away the standard Sandisk 1GB that I saw advertised for $69.99 (after rebate) online and in ads.
