I have been having bad luck trying to order a Lexar 2GB Compact Flash card, everywhere seems to be sold out for some reason. Does anyone have any experience using a GXT Compact Flash card? I've provided a link to the 2GB model I am interested in.
Thanks, Dan

Never heard of that brand. Here's a link to the Rob Galbraith site's database showing test results of several brands in your Rebel XT. I use SanDisk Extreme III 1 gig cards and have had no problems with them in my 20D.

| Definitely read the Rob Galbraith page that coolhar linked to. Great resource. As far as value and reliability, IMO there is only one choice - Sandisk. Here is a link to a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card for $85. The Ultra II will be fast enough that the only time you'd notice a difference between that and the Extreme III is if you have an extremely fast card reader. You will not notice any difference in camera. BTW, I have a lot of experince with this retailer and I do recommend them. |

I have a 2gb GXT compact flash card i got at future shop. I love it. It's SUPER SUPER fast. its rated on the box at read/write 20mb/sec. and 144X. Both are indicated on the box and are true.
I found this thread trying to find another place to buy another one for less that what i spent at future shop... i payed 130 there... too much.
CHeers.
