Memory Cards

shopbot

I am looking to buy a SecureDigital memory card for my camera. There seems to be a huge variation in prices.

Is this a product where you get what you pay for?

or

Is it a case of the cheaper cards are the same as the branded ones but re-badged?

I was thinking of getting:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00096J3DU/ref=br_ce_ts_1/026-0069067-9721219

or this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000D8CMK/ref=br_ce_ts_2/026-0069067-9721219

I realise that for Pro phtographers things like speed are important. This would be used for holiday snaps/days out etc.

It depends how keen you are on getting it, but i would try e-bay and bid on one.

I need to get fairly quickly!

Those prices look competitive! I looked on Dabs this morning for one and they were a bit more expensive on there!

Looking at reviews, the cards seem good quality too!

Check out ebuyer - they have some really good deals at the mo.

The only difference in quality tends to be data transfer speed, not a major issue for the vast majority of users.

Yeah i would get for the first one 1mg.

I have a sony cam and i bought the non branded ones, there is no difference. Infact mine where £40 cheaper.
