Anyone need 2Gb or 4Gb compact flash?
Right now you can buy the top of the line Lexar cards for basically nothing. Lexar has a $30 mail in rebate on their 2Gb 300x UDMA cards and a $70 mir on their 4 Gb 300x UDMA cards. You can get them from Adorama for $35 and $75 before the mir, and adorama has free shipping on the 4Gb unit. The rebate limit is 3 per part number per address.
So you could get 12 Gb of camera storage for $15 if you get the 4Gb cards. B&H Photo is slightly higher (4Gb is $78) and doesn't offer free shipping.

I just went and checked Adorama. I bought one of the 4 Gig cards yesterday for $75 w/free shipping and will get to send in the $70 rebate, but today they've changed the price of the 4Gig cards to $120, but the 2Gig cards are still $35.
BHPhoto.com still has both cards for $38 and $78, so from them you'll end up paying $8 plus shipping. BHPhoto Lexar 300x cards

Steve, thanks for the heads-up. I just ordered a couple of the 4GB cards from BHPhoto.

Use caution if you have a Canon SLR, Lexar cards have (had?) some known issues in Canon cameras with corruption. I used to have one and it tanked taking about 60 photos down with it.
