Wanna be a Pro? You've got to have this.

Lexar 800x 64GB UDMA 7 Compact Flash memory card. I have tried it, it is super fast and have a massive storage capacity. You really need this at least if not the bigger and faster one, if you are really into shooting HD video with DSLR. Not to forget, only if you use a body which can accept CF card, ;).

The CF card below is not mine, a colleague of mine was very generous to let me try out this small beast. If you are in Malaysia, the same capacity and speed regardless of the brand, the price can go as high as 800 to 1000 MYR which so much more expensive compared to the US retail price which around $120 USD (MYR 360). If you buy from BH photo for example, you'll be charge about 50 USD for courier and if you unlucky (if the custom officer manage to spot your parcel containing taxable items), an additional 10% from the purchase price for import duty imposed by the malaysian custom.
