Anyone have any experience good or bad with Duracell CF cards?

Sandisk all the way i have one of the duracell ones and on several occasions hasjust decided to randomly format itself, i would never touch one again!

I read recently that it failed to work on a D3, but others have used them and have been fine....

Its all down to chance/luck really....For the sake of a few quid more for a decent branded reliable card, is it worth taking the risk?

It randomly stops working on my d3. Have to remove battery to use again.... Stay away from them!!

Duracell cards are made for them by Dane-Elec.

Looking for top quality at less than Sandisk prices, then top end Transcend cards are the way to go.

Wouldn't work with my 50D.

I have some for my 1-series. I can't remember if they are Sd or CF or both, but so far no failure for well over a year.

I bought one recently for my 5d2 - seems to working perfectly so far... No complaints.

I got a Durcall 8GB 300X UDMA card for my 7D from 7dayshop a couple of months ago. Touch wood no problems.
