Please be aware that Kingston 16GB cards are not compatable with all Nikon/Canon pro bodies.

i've found 7dayshop and (sometimes) amazon to be competitive. no links with either, just a satisfied customer.

I normally just buy from Amazon as I have Amazon prime (free next day shipping)

Check out play.com as well, their selection isn't as good as say Amazon but what they have can sometimes be cheaper.

SanDisk Extreme Pro CF 16GB - Amazon: £170.19 / Play: £139.99

It then comes down to how soon you want/need it!

Why? should all CF cards be made to work i.e. Fit for purpose?

I think its down to firmware... The firmware just isnt able to recognise 16gb memory cards. I remember mobile phones had the same problem years ago when they jumped from mb to gb cards... im assuming the same applies to cameras.

Have a look in your local Currys. I got a 8Gb Sandisk Extreme 4 for £49.97 a few days ago. They had them as clearance items!

8GB Lexar 300x cards are £49 in PCWorld at the minute too.
