What is an excellent 1 or 2 GB compact flash for Rebel XT

I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT and I need a compact flash.

Fry's Electonics has a Pretec 80x 2 GB card for $200 in stock.

Ritz Camera has the Lexar 80x 2 GB card for $269 on back order for two or three weeks.

Is it worth the wait for the Lexar?

Until now, I have been using a 35 mm Canon EOS 850 with the stock lens. Digital is new territory for me. I shoot candid pictures of my family and friends at home and gatherings, sporting events for my kids.

I am picking up a used Canon EOS 28-135 IS USM Zoom tomorrow.


thanks,

I use a Viking 1GB CF and don't have any problems.
