You can buy them cheap at Costco.com This is not the Ultra II, but it's SanDisk's **2 Gig** card for $144. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...rPath=79*2246* |

I paid over $225 for my first 1GB card and now you can get a 1GB Lexar 80x for $80. |

The SanDisk Ultra II comes with a lifetime replacement warranty and if it dies they'll try to recover the images for you for free. Pretty reliable ... |

[] Make sure that your camera supports (makes use of) the faster CF cards. I found that my Minolta Dimage A1 did not, so the extra cost would have been wasted! It still might the cards faster to download to your computer. There's little cost difference here between SanDisk CF regular and Ultra II. David |
