Thanks !! Unforunately checkout does not work on thier web site right now. I'll try to buy it later.

I would also like to know more technical details about this card. Speed/Manufacturer/Warranty ?

It seems like checkout does not work for this particular item. I tried to buy the same CF card without the coupon ($69) and it was ok. Strange problem ?

strange, i gave it a try, and i got the same problem. why dont you call them, and see if you can somehow transact over the phone. not sure if it's a solution but worth a try.

the picture of the card suggests an 80x speed, which is fairly descent for an slr camera i believe

Iffy buying some of those brands (Trandscend or the Factory Direct one) never heard before...
Your DSLR is > $1000; you are serious about the data (photos), then skimp on the media. I will (pay more and ) stick with Sandisk, Lexar...

So has anyone tried the Trandscend card as yet? Care to share your experiences? I use Lexar, Sandisk and Kingston - pricey...
