I found virtually no difference between a standard Sandisk 1Gb card and a 40X Lexar 1Gb card with WA when used in the *istD. The Lexar is faster in a PC with card reader though.
Personally I would stick to Sandisk, although I have a couple of no name 512Mb cards that I had before the *istD that have been fine. The Lexar seems a bit flaky though.

I would need to know what are the best options for digital film media. (I have not followed any discussion about the D as it was not in my plans to get one soon!) Is a CF card with Write Acceleration a good feature? Is any card over 40X an overkill? Should I buy only reknown Lexar or Sandisk cards? In the absence of a card reader for the moment, how long takes downloading a complete 1GB card from the camera to a computer with USB 1? Anything else I should know for the moment? Or is there a page or a post that tells all that a D user has to know (green button, etc.)? Thanks, Andre
