I've got the latest firmware and was wondering what CF card to buy? I've looked on the Nikon web site but the recommended cards there are like $130.00 each

PS. Lexar also makes a good card! Besides sanddisk, I use the lexar professional 800x 32gig CF card and it works great too! :)

Whats the difference in the card listed above and the SDCFX4? The card, thats linked to amazon above, and this SDCFX4 is a large price [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]difference. [/FONT]

The lexar card is a pro card similar to the sanddisk extreme pro card! The pro cards cost more money due to being faster cards! The sanddisk card linked to is just a sanddisk extreme, which isn't quite as fast and therefore cheaper!
Also lexar might be a bit more expensive a brand too! But both work very well! :)

I have used Sandisk and Lexar cards for many years in my D700 with no problems. I choose the fastest cards I can find though for the kind of photography I do they are probably not that necessary.
