The Mr. Flash cards are a great price, no doubt, but I've bought two 256mb Lexar 4x cards from Amazon recently, and those things rock. It's too bad that Lexar doesn't support my jumpshot cable in Mac OSX, because my alternative method of grabbing stuff from the CF (via pcmcia card adapter) won't fly on iBooks – NO FRIKKING PCMCIA SLOTS!!!. But the Nikon CPX 990 is easily recognized in OSX, so the straight usb cable connector, albeit much slower than jumpshot, does work in OSX. On the PC side, things are golden – jumpshot works well, and is almost as fast via USB as pcmcia is. Well, not really. PCMCIA is lightning fast – prolly as fast as firewire, though I'm no techie, and can't say for sure.
Back to the Lexar cards. They do rock, work in every CF enabled device I own (4), and at $105, isnt much more expensive than the OEM Mr. Flash 512 cards (in combo).

I have a 128 MB Mr.Flash card. It works just fine in my Canon S20.

Even better – direct from the source – http://ritek.com, or from the UK – http://www.ritdata.co.uk/ (no US distributor yet)

Check out http://blog.blaisdell.com/archives/2002_04_19.html — a posting from my own blog — PowerMarket has some great high capacity/high speed cards at unbelieveable prices — but make sure your camera can handle anything over 320Mb!.
