kenshinz 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 Hi guys, my dad wants to buy storage media for his digicam, I believe it's the xD and Microdrive (Compact Flash) types. Anyone has any recommendation on where I might be able to get a good deal? I know there are lots of shops in SLS, but not sure which one... Thanks! Kinda late, but you can check out http://www.eastgear.com, reasonable price, and reputable shop with good service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute0 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 The Kingston CF 1GB sold for $119 Which shop? Thanks! Sorry I don't quite remember, should be one or a few of the shops on the 4th floor. I may have mixed up the prices as there were too many of them there... Apparently for the San Disk CF cards, there are two different types of packaging (see-through plastic with pure English wordings, and cardboard box with English and Chinese wordings) , not sure whether there's a difference in origin, but it seems that the price differs.

tropicalrips 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2004 I think there were someone mentioning on Clubsnap that the Kingston CF card is abit slow, seems slower than the normal SanDisk CF card. the Kingston CF cards in SLS now are of slower speeds (2 mb/sec) which explains their low price, its the same with their Flash drive. Kingston has another type of CF card, "Elite" type which is about 10mb/sec, but i hav not seen them in SLS yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2004 Got your DSLR yet 'rips? Dibs on your 8080 BTW how much is the 512mb/1GB LEXAR Media 80X or SanDisk EXTREME III cards cost? I'm wondering whether it'd be a good idea to compile a price list for memory cards since it's quite a regular question posted, unless such a list already exisit in other local (digi)camera forums then maybe a link to the said forum should suffice.
