They are, I know a lot of people who have used them and have no complaints. They are based iirc in the same place as play.com so delivery takes a bit longer.

Yes, two smaller cards would be the way I would go too. With regards to the speed of the card, it depends on whether or not you plan on using continuous shooting mode. The speed of the card affects how fast the camera can write images to the card, so if you only ever take one photo at a time then any card would do. However I was having problems with the camera locking up for a few seconds because it was having to wait for the image to write to the card before I could take the next photo - thus I now only but Ultra II and faster

Re: Compact Flash v XD Cards

Stephen and I had 2 gigcards for long enough but, as we both shoot in RAW and often take triples because of the HDR's, I got him the 4 gig, one of the new ones. It is fantastic and performs far better than the 2 gig cards that we had previously. The camera writes to the card faster (no more BUSY messages) and is just fab
