Kingston memory cards any good?

[Lezlie]

I'm getting ready to pick up a couple of memory cards. What brands come highly recommended? Is speed an issue?

Currently I have a Lexar 256mb card, which runs a 40x speed. It's worked just fine for me.

Any thoughts?

The speed isn't an issue because the card reader of 606 is really slow and it would not benefit the cf hight speed.however i use a usb card reader for transferring the data and maybe in that case you can see much difference...
don't bother the brand,kongstone,sandisks,lexar are all nice cards...if you find a 512mb,pick it up!

I believe the 606 is far more tolerant than, say, the 404 when it comes to cards. I got a really sh*tty Memory Corp 24x one and it works fine, I don't think you can go wrong with 512MB cards (and below) as they are usually at least as old as the 606 itself.
