Compact Flash Advice

I am in the market for a new compact flash card, and I thought I'd ask you experts a question!

I use a Canon A80 to take snapshots of my family and vacation locations. (Occasionally I get a really artistic picture! :o) ) Anyway, I'd like to buy a new 2GB CF card for our upcoming vacation, and I found this one on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Ultra%252dSpeed-CompactFlash-Green-%2528TS2GCF120%2529/dp/B000E40RAK/ref=pd_bbs_7/103-9274087-4945413?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1181737641&sr=8-7

(Sorry about the size of the link - not sure how to make it smaller.)

The reviews are good, and the price is right. Using a Canon A80, should I be okay using this card?

Thanks for any insight you can give me!

Occasionally firmware issues crop up with cheaper CF cards but normally camera manufacturers resolve them with updates for the cameras. Generally speaking the innards of the card all come from the same few sources so all should work equally well cross brand.
