The4freezone has 1gb CF cards for 3 refs. They are legit, but take time to ship.
Or just try ebay. Go with the sandisk ultra II for faster speed. (I'm assuming this is for your A95.)

Want my the4freezone account?
Offer completed+1 green=you only need 2 more greens. What do you think of $20?
Only drawback on this site is the owner is behind on shipments, and will take a few weeks for you to receive it. Good part is that she wont run, as she is a well known mod on gearlive.

I picked up a 256 card for my camera and have been very happy with it. I usually download them to the computer after i use it though. BTW, did you pick up those rechargable batteries i told you about?

for my digital rebel (before it got fucked) i only used (and probably will only use) sandisk memory cards. i have a 256, 512 and a 1GB Ultra II.
they are fast and reliable. with the 1GB i could get about 200 pics at 6.3 megapixels a picture.
for the 1Gb, the standard price is about $80-$95, 512Mb is about maybe $60, and the 256Mb is about $35-$40.
if you get a memory card reader, it will save your battery life alot also.

yeah i got a card reader but i usually just use that cable that came with the comp. Ive seen scandisk 128mb for like $20 at Kroger and why will you probably only use scandisk?

just cos they are the leading and most reliable memory card maker. theyre cards have consistantly come out on top of other cards, in speed tests. im pretty sure you also get a lifetime warranty with their cards.
their prices can SOMETIMES be a little expensive, but you really do pay for quality.
i think lexar have good cards but tend to be overpiriced.
