I paid $130 (less $30 mail in rebate) for my 64mb back in January.
I wasn't going to buy more but last night I was at my daughters school and I had not cleaned out some old pics and the card was full. Needed to use it right away and didn't have time to be selective in what I deleted so I did a complete deletion.
After that I ordered the 128mb and will carry the 64 as a spare.

Careful all....sometimes when you buy a 128MB or a 64MB card you are not always getting a 128MB or a 64MB card. Alot of companies will manufacture and sell cards that have only 88% of marketted memory in tact....it's all in their quality assurance and acceptance practices.
I've been burned twice with Lexmar products...but have seen the quality of their products go up two fold since I've been burned.
The two brands that I do endorse through very good experience (with the actual product and customer service) are the Kodak and SansDisk brands. If I had to choose between the two, SansDisk would be my pick.
Situation with my first 64MB card from SansDisk had some bad sectors and a couple reserved effectively turning my 64 meg card into a 61 meg card. I called them to inform them, but not complain....the Cust. Rep. took my name, address, email, and some personal info and told me that she would have a production manager call me in the next few days and a SansDisk customer survey questionairre mailed to me. Two days later, I recieved a package through FedEx....I signed for it and opened it. In it was a 128 meg compact flash card, a reader, a letter of apology for inconvenience from a production manager, and the questionaire. How's that for customer service. BTW, they didn't even request that I send back the 64 meg card, which I use to this day.
