Thanks for the info, very useful thread.
A few questions:
(i) Have you guys had bad experiences with buying CF's from ebay?
Ordered a Transcend 32GB 400x UDMA6 from ebay china and a Lexar 32GB 800x UDMA7 from ebay usa - we'll see how it turns out.
(ii) Is there a way to check if the cards are genuine?
The cards I am buying now are for my 5Dmk3 - and I assume that at least the Lexar 800x 7 will be enough for my needs for now.
(iii) As soon as the ML "hack" is ready for official release, I will be tweaking my video bit-rates on the 5D3, anyone know which cards are fast enough for this usage?
Last but not least, for my new job, I will be required to shoot (and buy what ever is needed for) a 1DC - anything less than lexar 1000x 7 feasible for this?
Thanks

I don't buy cards from ebay. When you are from Denmark I would recommend you to buy from Amazon.de and Amazon.uk. They have the cards you write about. And they have every card from Lexar, Transcend or Sandisk. Their prices are good. And you know it's a genuine card that you receive. You will probably get free shipping to Denmark also. I get that to Sweden. I would also guess you have to pay VAT and tax when order from China & USA.
How much do you pay on ebay including shipping? Because I would belive you can get them for a lower price at Amazon.de or Amazon.uk
