Got an email from Ebuyer today, they're selling a Viking 512MB SD Card for only £24.49 inc VAT & Delivery, which works out cheaper than their own brand 512MB SD Card!!!

Here's the link for full details:

Amazon have got this card and just over £1 more if you have Amazon vouchers


Also worth noting that for an extra 5.50 you can get a card that 66x faster (allegedly). High speed cards are generally needed if your camera is 4MP or more.

Here is the link (bought one myself at the weekend):

PS - Not sure how much postage is, but one seller on amazon is selling the first card at £19.99 new...

I've also seen a couple of other places with the 512MB SD card around the £25 price so I don't think this is really a Grabbit! Moving it to Shop but don't drop.

The eBuyer own brand is Viking anyway lol I bought one a few months back.

https://www.aria.co.uk have had a 512MB SD for £21.59 (£24.08 delivered using royal mail) in their super specials for the last few weeks if anyone is thinking of buying one. I'd highly recommend picking up an 128MB MP3 (£11ish) and some DDR400 memory (256=10, 512=23) at the same time as well... You'll pay £6.99 postage but it's always been next day for me.

nope, won't be 66x faster

its just the memory card manufacturers cottoning on to the numbers game.

most flash memory cards can work around 40x anyway
1x being the speed of a 1x CD rom drive, around 150Kbytes per second,

a standard card wuill do data at 6meg/s max, a 66x one would do data at just under 10 meg per second,

so there.................
