    Also a high-speed 1GB SD card for £28.90 delivered - sorry, can't remember how to do the flashy links!

    Though no-one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.

    This is NOT a high speed card!
    If you read the reviews, one buyer points out that they received a standard speed card and not the high speed one shown in the picture! The product offered is a standard speed Lexar SD card.

    Yes, I missed that - but the review is from 2004, so maybe it is now the fast one.

    Adata brand from Emartbuy.

    Recorded Delivery £2.35 for upto 0.5 Kg.

    I ordered Tuesday lunchtime and received them Wednesday morning.

    I've tested them with an Ixus and a Panasonic and they work fine allowing high res movies and continuous shooting upto the card capacity. With the Viking cards I had been limited to 9 to 15 secs on the 5Mb Panasonic and to 1.5 to 2 minutes on the 3Mb Ixus.

    This morning I received a 1Gb card that I had ordered from the 7 Day Shop on Saturday March 25th. The website said the brand was Viking (and still does) but I actually received one branded Dane-Elec.

    This card is faster than the Vikings I have previously bought which appear to be the the standard 12x (2Mb per sec approx). The Dane-Elec card is not as fast as the 50x Adata I bought from Esmartbuy (probably around 33x) but it is fast enough for continuous shooting and VGA movies at 30fps which the Viking can't cope with.


    The Dane-Elec, like the Viking, is manufactured by Toshiba and has most of the same markings. One number is different on the reverse - TM8960Q on the Viking and TM8864P on the Dane-Elec.

    If I could be sure of getting the higher speed card I would order more from the 7 Day Shop, but Esmartbuy seems a safer bet to guarantee the faster card.

    got my mobymemory 150X 1GB (see post above).

    seems very fast, no buffereing of video at 640/480@30FPS, which was what i had with the bog standard viking memory..:)

    delivery was quick too.

    if moby card is 150x then why not put that on card sticker? second the Emartbuy is it charging p+p if so how much, the card from ebuyer doesnt let me do quick shoot mode on canon a520 dont know if its card or camera.

    I am intersed in the 50x card like DERV so derv what do you say.
