Ideal CF Cards

Hey,
I'm considering getting a 7D, and I have 2 8GB Extreme III cards that I use on my 40D. Are these fast enough to record video, be it 720/60p or 1080/24p? Someone mentioned to me that there is a ~$300 64GB card that a lot of people are buying, but I haven't seen that around anywhere...

To those who have a 7D already, what cards are you using to shoot video, and how do they perform?
 
Your cards should be fine.

I haven't heard of anyone here using a 64 GB card (although someone might be). But it sounds like a bad idea. Lots of people here already think that 32 GB (which is what I use) is too much. If your card fails, you'll lose all of the footage that you have on there. 64 GB is over three hours of footage. Is it worth the risk?
