Compact flash cards

[just1]

Hi all
Just getting ready for the arrival of my first 606 and I was wondering what compact flash cards everyone recommends and what are the best size cards to get
Cheers

hi
for the sizes i dont know, i got the chance to buy different types on sizes form one guy.
so i got 512, 128 etc
ythe 512 i got is a sandisk ultra II as recommended on the manual (have a look at this there are other labels reccommended there). the other cards are nikon,pny (also the pny is reccomended by roland) and other sandisk, still not checked...
in any case a little advice: check photographer forums or shops, they got lot of those cards!
cheers

Japan is the only place that still sells cf cards that small in memory.

Try ebay, you'll find one cheap, I got one 512MB SanDisk brand new there for $10.

not true
i have been to multiple camera shops in Canada that have them
use the interwebz if you don't live in a city with a legit camera shop
