not sure what postage cost would be

Hi,

The full URL for this item is: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/memory/Kingston/512MB/Secure/Digital/Card

They charge £3.95 postage but even for one of these the price still works out cheaper than any of mymemory.co.uk competitors that i've searched through.

Best Regards.

Just to help some people out re: high speed cards and do I need one type Q's etc.

Fact is that you only really need a high speed card if you are using a device (digital camera for example) and wish to use say the "burst" mode on the camera. This is where you hold down the shutter button and take say 6 pictures in very quick succession (say 3 per second). The hi speed facility will write the data to the card very quickly and allow the camera to take and write the next 5 (almost) instantly. For normal photography this NON hi speed card is just fine and a bargain - hope this helps

hi Brinny. As there is an existing thread on this offer from mymemory I have merged your thread into that one.

Been looking on ebay for 512mb SD Memory card and can get one for about £13 (£6 card + £7 postage) from Hong Kong - has anyone bought any of these?

they will probably be the cards made in China, which are not very good and are more likely to corrupt.

just get the one from mymemory, i got 1 and it works great!

Does any one know whether it's worth spending extra and getting the Sandisk 1GB Extreme III (available from Amazon@£81.99 or Mymemory@£84.99)?

The reason I ask is that it has a transfer rate of 20MB which is twice as fast as the other 'fast' cards out there. I have an Ixus 700 and just want to know whether I'll notice much difference!

Thanks.
