who sells cheapest xd cards?

Does anyone know where I may get the cheapest xd cards ?

I would refer 512Mb or 1Gb and Olympus would be my first choice.

I have tried mymemory.co.uk and memorycardzoo but they stilll seem a little pricey compared to other formats.

With many companies it seems that a cheap price quickly gets bumped up by p+p charges which makes quite a difference as Im only after a single card.

Thanks

I use these

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/default.php?cat=6&type=6060&man=0&filterwords=&go=SEARCH&comp=

But I buy film from them too so can live with the del charge. A bit slow (7 days max), but excellent prices.

Whats the difference between type M & type H?
Type M are generally for the older models.
Type H is up to 3x faster
Type H does not work with all older cameras (you need to check your manuals).
Type H cards are required in newer models to capture video at high rate (640x480x30), type M cards would simply not be able to keep up.


There is a compatability pdf on this website too.

www.w2w.com is quite competitive and has free delivery.

not sure who sells the cheapest, but for speed, find the cheapest online, print info out, and take to Jessops as they will price match. Check branding though.
Thanks

Thanks Charlie and Chuffy - decent prices and quite a bit of detail about the various (other) types of card.

Really ! I went in there last week (Cribs in Bristol) and they weren't interested in matching anyone else's prices. I was even told that they don't do that !!

(and I wanted close to a grands worth of stuff A D80 and a Fuji 6500).

Their loss, I went somewhere else.... (and I won't be going back).

I can confirm too that Jessop have stopped their price match.

Try an put the spec, or model you want into https://www.froogle.co.uk and compare the prices.

Amazon are sometimes very competitive as are https://www.mymemory.com

Watch out for buying high-spec / large size cards on eBay, many are cheap brands, rebranded to look like high-quality cards from SanDisk and other good brands. Buyer-beware!

Thanks guys. I went for memorybits.co.uk who did the 1GB olympus card at £14.12 and took advantage of the £10 off £30 google checkout offer.

Card ordered Sunday night, arrived today (tuesday). Very impressed.
