  • I use a company called Memory Card Zoo - https://www.memorycardzoo.co.uk

    They're cheap, their products include postage and their site really makes me chuckle, plus they're helpful at answering queries. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

    Just my view ;) and my first post, yay! :j

    https://www.dvd.co.uk are doing 1gb SD Cards for £5.99 and 2gb ones for £9.99 - crucially IMO including P&P!

    Just Ordered

    Can confirm 1Gb Kingston SD card is £5.99 delivered.

    Go through Quidco first for 5% cashback too.

    BARGAIN - and yes the 1GB cards will fit the Tomtom Western Europe maps on too.

    Just to clarify, as far as I know, its not the speed that the older devices cannot handle, its the actual size of memory card (my Canon A540, recommend largest card size is 2Gb).QUOTE]

    yes you are right, they don't like the bigger sizes, however the faster speeds are not used it simply writes at the slower speed. So you can use a faster card but it just wont work at a fast speed, so pointless paying more money for one.

    As for compatibility depends on size of SD Cards mentioned above - this is not necessarily true on all items.

    My Kodak Digital Camera hates high speed SD cards (i bought various and returned them)

    The cheaper lower speed cards but still high capacity cards work fine. But not as fast as mentioned above.

    Oh and none of the shops mentioned above beat https://www.dvd.co.uk for price so far.
  • These older slower cards would only hold 5 seconds of video burst before the camera shutdown - they may be cheap, but they are very limited.
  • I got one from Amazon market place from flash_memeory for £2.49 plus £4.50 p&p, a Kingston 1 GB secure SD card
  • Samsung Secure Digital Memory Card - SD1GB - Available from 7dayshop.com for £4.49 plus postage of £3.95 per order.

    Depends upon the device i suppose as mine shoots video non stop - no problem.

    My order is processed for shipping by the way (efficient or what)

    And if you find a card is not suitable return it to them.

    Returns are freepost from where i have ordered, but obtain proof of postage.

    This is a bargain
  • Beware if ordering from Amazon third parties - the £4.50 delivery charge appears to be per item, so if you want to order (like I did) 2 cards at £6 each, they hit you with a postage charge of £9!!!!!

    Needless to say, I didn't buy!!

    yes i have noticed that too. often the card is cheap but they hot you with a massive postage charge. In reality costs about £1.50 to post
