I doubt it, not at least until Pentax come out with an updated body, not that we know if that would even use CF :-( I've been using a combination of Sandisk Ultra and Ridata 52x cards and there is no discernible difference in performance. I've had a few Ridata cards and they've been very reliable, their current 2GB Gold Pro II 80X card retails at AU$255 + AU$26 DHL Delivery to the US (so all up about US$213.50 at todays exchange rate). Got to the shopping trolley at http://www.powerinnumbers.com.au/ if you are interested.
