For a good laugh I browsed a bit on the Express Camera web site and found
this gem: http://www.expresscameras.com/display.asp?page=130979

280$ for a 256MB Compact Flash card is even beyond snake oil salesmen.
Not only do you get cards 8 times as large for 1/8 of that price at
respectable stores, even large chain stores. But also the web site doesn't
say anything about the actual speed of those "Professional High Speed
Series" either which can only mean stone age junk at the speed of a turtle.
