I have consistently used SanDisk memory cards. And, very pleased to report, zero malfunctions. A brand I can highly recommend without hesitation. My only complaint is B & H has an Achilles heel. It was explained to me that due to a religious holiday, it took 9 days to receive this much needed Compact Flash Memory Card. Unacceptable.

Yes it is compatible, according to Canon's website: The EOS-1D X will work with cards that are compliant with the UDMA 7 standard, as well as previous UDMA-compliant cards. We strongly suggest UDMA-type CF cards from any major CF card manufacturer.
