    Huge rebate. On the plus side the store does have a very good reseller rating:

    This is good card. If you shoot one shot at a time and don't need high speed, it is great. (although, I shoot high speed, 3 FPS, on a DSLR and it is fine - I matched the card with the camera)
    I paid $50 in 2007 after a rebate (I think it was over $100 new at the time) and THAT was a bargain.
    Memory and technology crap gets so cheap so fast. I think I will delay all tech purchases for 18 months and buy stuff cheaper from now on.
    So a top of the line 42 inch LCD TV will be $200 in summer of 2010.

    #11, lifetime warranty, price premium (before rebate) and the fact that the speed rating is not just some imaginary number or "read speed" in small letters somewhere on the packaging.

    I have a Lexar pro card, but it has something like a 300x speed rating. Uses UDMA as well. So maybe this is an older generation.

    #7 dream on; they rather destroy goods then sell to you that cheap. That's called ECONOMY.

    This is a ridiculous rebate for what is now merely average in performance. You can get a 16GB card for under $35 and an 8GB for about half that without a rebate or at least a much much smaller one, or a card faster than 133X.

    The $80 rebate is a farce for an 8 Gig CF card, professional (cough, cough) or not. Feel free to jump in if you so desire, but I will choose not to simply on principle.

    B&H had them for $70 the day this rebate came out, so I took a chance on making $30 on the deal (you are limited to 3 cards).

    Lexar is an outstanding brand. I use mine for DSLR work and nothing else. #18 isn't quite clear on the concept of compatible formats nor on quality... the retail price for professional-level CF cards is about $10/G, less considering there's always something on sale. 133x is fine for most shooters, even at 12M sensor sizes.

    #19 - part of the "professional" tag implies quality and the lifetime warranty. Plus, they work in all pro and advanced amateur cameras, unlike many other company's cards.
