Panasonic cards are supposed to be the most reliable and have the fastest
transfer speeds. My 256MB Lexar is a re-branded Panasonic.

I also have read good comments regarding Panasonics... I guess my
question is does Matsushita Electronics make *all* of Panasonics? I
recall two stereos in the 70s/80s one by SilverTone and one by Marantz...
price difference was a factor of 5x ... in actuallity, excepting the
case, they were the same thing (of course SilverTone was prohibited from
advertising that... but Consumer Reports wasn't).

Looking for the best bang for the buck

My most recent purchases of an SD card and CF card were direct from
kingtson.com. The shipping was free and the pricing was competitive.
