I'm looking for a 512 MB. or 1 GB. compact flash card, good brand, for cheap or a site that's slightly cheaper than it's competitors. Also what's the difference between these faster cards? Do they help you to take shots faster? I'm thinking of stuff like the "Ultra II" and 80X cards.
Cheap ass compact flash card?

80x is a MUST if youre serious about photography...a few weeks ago i used a 40x and couldnt believe how slow it was!
no good deals on 80x cards that ive seen, but they are worth it
EDIT: i didnt see you asking what faster cards were for..
basically its the speed the camera writes data to the card.
it all depends on what quality youre shooting and the mp of your camera
are you an amature photographer? what camera are you using?

Card speed (and speed of digital transfer) is absolutely vital, but there are limits to what digital camera models can effectively use. (ie., You might be buying more than your camera is capable of handling). Check "customer support" and faqs at your camera maker's Web site ... Assuming you can handle (and take advantage of) a 40X, 80X , spend a couople minutes a day checking for deals at www.dealmac.com ... Do a search and see what I mean...

I'm getting a Canon S1 IS. So if I get a fast one of these as well as if the camera has a fast shutter speed I can get that quick click on a digital camera that I get from a film one?

Well, dunno if it'll actually be as fast as 35 mm SLR. Digital cameras are a different animal, and, like anything, they have advantages and disadvantages. Buy the largest and fastest card you can for the money, but bear in mind it doesn't hurt to have more than one for downloading and switchouts. Digital cameras overall have response time lags, but that's been improving every year. Regardless, once you go digital, you'll never look back ... the instant feedback and image manipulation outweigh any downsides.

I would check Foogle there pretty good when it comes to looking for deals on this kind of stuff.

Also keep an eye on Sunday flyers. Staples, Office Max, BB and CC will have good deals once in a while.

Damn I was hoping this one had that. Well for future reference how much do I have to spend to get that feel?
Oh yeah I was also wondering this on a separate note. With "Next Day" shipping from UPS if I manage to get the company shipping out said product in the morning of the day before will I get it for sure the next day? I mean does it count as that one day.

the camera you have prolly does not require a top of the line card as i reccomended you buy.
i have a 4.1mp point and click, and some cheap card off ebay works fine.
heres a 512 for 38$ the same brand i use in my point and click, ive had no problems with it thus far.

I know this is a double post but I have more info. I found a Kingston Compact Flash 1 GB. card for $50 after a $20 rebate? How do they hold up? Are they safe and ok for my camera? I read about Sandisk or Lexar not working with the Canon S1 IS or some other camera.
Also does anyone know where I can find the PSC-70 case for my Canon?
