The presumed 1GB card has only 208MB. I bought it at $96 from Amazon and I returned the card immediately!!
I lost all my wedding pictures because of this coompact flash.
The one I rteceived was defective and I returned it. Decided to order a different brand.
Sandisk truly needs to learn how to create packaging people can open. This company has not discovered how to be centered on the customer yet.
I’d heard about big cards delivering slow shutter speeds, so I tried to avoid the problem by spending extra money on the Ultra II, which promised to eliminate that problem.
Sandisk doesn’t deliver on that promise, as my experience with their offering has shown me. Maybe the 1 GB Ultra II *is* fast compared to other large cards, but I wouldn’t know, since this is the only large card I’ve ever used (see note below). All I know is that there is a tradeoff I’ve made between small and fast, and big and slow, and that I shouldn’t believe the sweet promises of this manufacturer’s advertising staff.
On the bright side, I don’t have to worry about memory management issues, at least for the time being. I just have to accept that I’ll no longer be able to take candids, shoot action shots on the fly, or do anything else that requires minimal lag-time between button-press and image-capture.
I should have tested this card against others before buying it, which I definitely recommend you do before shelling out >$100 for one of them. I don’t know if any stores would allow people to do that though, so if they don’t, maybe ask a friend if you could borrow their cards for an hour to see how each performs for your intended use. Then pick the best one for you that’s in your price range.

note: I’ve only had three cards, including the one I’m reviewing here: (1) the 16 MB that came with my Canon A70, (2) a run-of-the-mill Viking 128 MB CF Card, and (3) a Sandisk 1 GB Ultra II CompactFlash Card.
