CF Cards - Best UK price?

[RJL2005]

Hi

I'm off to Tanzania in June and am starting to get my gear together. Decided on taking a pile of CF Cards & batts. as power access will be v. limited (laptops etc.).

Anyone know of better deals than Warehouse Express for Extreme III CF cards?

Thanks

Rhod

I just ordered a 1gbExtreme III CF card from Picstop for £17.90. The 2gb are £38.90 and 4GB is £74.90. This is a bit cheaper than WE.

Can't fault Picstop http://www.picstop.co.uk/ - they are always honest about what is and isn't in stock, delivery is very quick, and prices are good.

I can't fault http://www.mymemory.co.uk they are pretty cheap and have never had a problem.

it's also worth checking www.amazon.co.uk they often come out as one of the cheapest for memory.

I'll second mymemory.co.uk,
Not sure about CF prices, but they had a killer deal on extreme III SD Cards before Christmas!
Used them about 6 times through last year, no problems, prompt delivery

I have recenty bought a converter SD card to CFcard. I can now use sd cards in my Canon 30d. sd cards are less than 1/2 the price of the same size cf cards. One other benefit is being able to veiw the pics on a pocket pc screen.

But high-capacity SD cards are not yet available.

I recently puchased a 2GB SD card for £19.99 from a dealer on Ebay.

Hiya,

7 day shop had some 4GB Dane - Elec cards at about £17. I got one and seems OK, not the fastest write speeds but OK for me and 20D.

Hope this helps.

A friend bought me a SanDisk Extreme III card from a dealer on Ebay and after reading this article (http://martybugs.net/articles/fakesandisk.cgi), I’m convinced it’s fake. Just take care.

I bought 2 x 1Gb Sandisk III's from a UK dealer on ebay and they were fake the seller happily refunded me the money but I know he knew these were fakes (after speaking to him) eBay fakes are well documented on eBay. I would not recommend eBay for memory unless its from a photographic retailer through the auction site.
Apparently 95% of all cards on eBay are fake!!

[RJL2005]

Amazon now seem to be doing 2Gb Extreme III CF cards for just under £22.00. OK they're from a third party, but surely worth a punt - I've gone for it. Will let the board know if it goes Pete Tong!

Honestly can't understand this penny-pinching attitude when you can get guaranteed (non-fake) Sandisk cards from Picstop at such low prices (see Graham's post). Buy third-party items at your peril.

The 4GB Extreme IV is only £59.90 are these fakes?

I bought what I thought was a genuine Sandisk Extreme III 4GB SD card and it was a fake, never again.

I suppose I deserved it, because it was from Ebay. I did however get my money back from the cowboy that sold it.

[tom tams]

Warehouse Express are doing Sandisk Extreme IV 4GB cards for £65.99 Excluding P+P
They have a price match on products at the moment, promising to undercut any genuine price with free delivery, also says " We will reduce our price by 125% of the difference" Offer is on the home page.

Amazon.co.uk are doing the same item for £59.93, so I have just been in touch with Warehouse Express and I'm awaiting a call from them, hopefully they will keep their promise

There you go - Picstop, Picstop, Picstop; they really are "tops" in my book.

Park Cameras currently have Sandisk Extreme IV 8GB at GBP 299; at Picstop the same card is GBP 109.90. Are we being taken for a ride, or what?

Colin

[graham catley]

anyone had any experience of www.mymemory.co.uk of late--they are doing Sandisk CF and SD cards for about half the price of other suppliers so I just wondered if they are certainly genuine cards?----Picstop have good prices but seem to be almost constantly out of stock of late and 7dayshop are way behind in the recent price war.

[Duke Leto]

I have used mymmory quite a lot recently, I bought a couple of sandisk EX III 1Gb CF cards @ 4 months ago and these were genuine but more recently I have bought a mymemory branded 4Gb card for 17.99 ad at the moment I'm very pleased, write speed about the same as an EX III read is a tad slower (but when your reading the card you normally in front of your pc in the warm)
I like mymemory cos you can call then to discuss your purchase

Also bought some USB memory sticks for the children for school again sandisk and agin no problem

Slightly off topic how does one check cards to see if they are fake?

Stewart

[Duke Leto]

on ebay if you search for memory cards there will be a link on the page with a very thorough help guide

Amazon have 2gb SanDisk II cards (genuine - I have bought 2) from a German Firm called Avides Media for £14.99 plus postage.

They arrive within 3 days and are superb. I get 160 shots from my 350D shooting in RAW & JPEG L and over 550 shooting in JPEG L only

I can't find a better deal at the moment (They also have Sandsik 2GB III's for £19.99 plus postage)
