Over the past few weeks, I've been trying to get hold of some additional media for my D80 - with the D80 filling a 2Gb SD card in 160-odd shots compared to the Sony's 590-ish (that's at maximum resolution and file type) I'm stocking up a few extra cards. Along the way, I've had two faulty (albeit admittedly cheap) cards that weren't worth the hassle. So, where to look? There's Amazon, sure, but I've got another suggestion - Play.com. I chose to look for some SanDisk Extreme II cards - I know there's Extreme III out, but to be honest, the Extreme II I'm using at the moment is plenty fast. OK, the III's are only 3 or four quid more, but I set myself £30 for memory, and I intended to stick to it!! The short of it is this: £30 got me 2 x 2Gb Extreme II SD cards. Delivered free, and now awaiting use. If you're looking at CompactFlash for a Canon (you have my sympathies.. ;-) ) then I'd recommend you start here (SD cards can be found here) - there's some massive savings to be had!
