Re: CF Vendors

I guess I'll have to play around with this.  Maybe attempt to burn out
a card before actually deploying it.

(I've got a 2G Kingston, and a 1G Corsair in my camera.  I tend to
only use those vendors for RAM, with a bias towards the Corsair.)

But thanks for the link!  It was interesting to note that the 150x vs
133x cards they covered came in at about the same performance.
