Hi

The memory cards are not postage free as described. I have just purchased 2 from the website and was charged almost £3 postage.

Still cheap :j

FWIW, While everyone is getting excited about 1Gb and 2Gb cards, unless you're shooting very high res. or RAW or something, I'd ALWAYS recommend several smaller cards over single large cards.
Fill a card with 800mb of 'cherished' 1mb snaps only to lose it or have it corrupt on you and you'll soon realise the false economy of buying large cards....

Unless you've got a <5Mpixel camera theres no reason to buy lots of small cards. If you start taking videos on a cam capable of 640x480 @ 30 frames/sec you'll soon chew through that 1-2GB card in less than 15min. And there's no reason why you still can't upload your photos just as often. Its just that with a bigger card you don't HAVE to. Its about as silly as saying don't buy that 500GB drive as you might lose all the data on it if it crashes, you're better off buying 5 x 100GB drives. Doesn't make sense does it??

Morrisons are still doing the 1 gb at £5. Peter

Also I have had problems with my Genuine Sandisk 2GB Extreme SD card. On 3 occasions now, I have had to format the card (sometimes they were full of photos as well) as the camera said it was full yet no image could be displayed.
I recommend Ridata as the best brand, not only was my 4GB cheaper than Sandisks Extreme or Ultra, but it was a damn sight quicker as well. I'd say that the transfer times were about half of that of an Extreme card. Even the people at the photo printing shop said it was the fastest card they've ever used and they would be recommending it over the Sandisks frmo now on.
The only problem is that they're not as easy to find. I got mine on ebay (and no not everyone on ebay is a scammer and yes 95% of the things you buy are delivered fine).

Just visited their site and can only find single cards at £4.99 + P&P

Can you add the link please or has the offer disappeared ?

Just looked and they are actually now £3.25.

What you do is select the buy now button and on the basket page you change the "1" item, between price and the update button, enter 2 or 3 or how many you want, press the update button and it calculates cost, shipping is added upon checkout if you do not want return to shop.

:cool:

These are great prices, considering manufacturing costs it is about time prices fell.

But this usually happens in the 'puter industry when something is about to change.

I've not heard anything but i suspect high speed/high capacity cards are soon to be on their way at capacities of 10/20 up to 50Gb, these are already available in S.E Asia, Japan etc and when they appear here people will want them, so my thinking is that retailers are getting rid of the stocks so when the improved SD cards arrive they will not be left with so many redundant SD's that will take ages to shift.

One can get 50Gb SD HD's at 50x speed, just not here in the UK or the rest of Europe and that is set to get even higher capacity in the near future! PC size HD's, 200Gb in the size of postage stamps in the next few years, believe it or not!

Yes they are dependant on the devices being able to cope with them but that is changing as well, many new devices can and will, older ones will always need lower capacity but old tech dies young in the computerised device industry, does it not.

Like has happened so many times in recent years as tech evolves.

Does this mean computer makers and componant manufacturers ahve actually learnt something?

Prices have been kept inflated for years in Europe and the UK and S.E Asia has a different generation of technology avalable to them because the computer manufacturer and retailer industries here don't want to allow the next generations of tech into Europe and the UK before they sell as much of the over manufactured componants and peripherals they can.

This has been the status quo for a good 5 years while elsewhere the future is already happening, so does this mean the floodgates cannot be held closed much longer and the industries are having a sale to get rid of amassed stocks of soon to be redundant or less popular tech and componants.

[Look at the prices of TFT and plasma screens, that's a prime example as well as PC's generally and the RAM and cards as well as processors etc.]

I do hope so because second best does for me, and i could do with some cheap upgrades, lol!

dvd.co.uk price inc p+p is £5.34 for 1, I just looked.
However, buy 2 or more, & the price for P&P only increases by 99p each.
so 2 cards would cost £9.48, thats £4.96 each all in. So before ordering, ask around and see if anyone else you know is after one & make a bulk order.

Whats 'slightly better' about the extreme versions?

The Extreme III range transfer data (read/write) at about 20mb per second. That's alot faster than any previous SD cards did.

I can certainly recommend them, having got one for xmas, it's a 2GB version and is lightening fast.

If simply downloading faster doesn't appeal to you, it also means that with cameras that support 'continuous shooting' mode the speed of the SD card very much determines how many frames per second can be taken and stored. With the Extreme III its a very fast rate of frames per second indeed.

CodeTitlePriceAmount SD1GBKingston - Flash memory card - 1 GB - SD £3.25

As i said, postage is added on checkout!

Please dont post straight after me and contradict as if i am in error, i know what i saw on the page when i looked and i did say postage is added to that price and Rhino who i was replying to already knew that!

Although Rhino stated £4.99 plus shipping which is why i said £3.25 because that's what the price is, excluding the shipping.

You are just being rude by doing so!

Good point about bulk buying though.
