Cheap memory Cards?

[Big Al.]

Need your advise please,

Just brought a Canon IXUS 700, need a 1Gig memory card, where is the cheapest place to by?

Fleabay has supplied me with two secondhand CF 1Gb cards at good prices. Looked for private sellers with one-offs rather than the "traders" and had to be canny and get in there at the last minute! Bit of a gamble, but it worked for me!

I have a couple of recent photo mags sitting by my desk and can quickly tell you the best prices if you tell me which type of card. You are safer with a brand new card if poss.

Also use Kelkoo a lot for things like this.

Also - do you definitely need a 1GB - 2 x 512 would give you security if one should happen to fail....

I picked uip a couple of 2Gb SD cards from mobymemory.com for £120 ea.
Good service too..

I'm pretty sure we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.

Ebay is popular as is www.ebuyer.co.uk

Price wise I reckon you'll pay a couple of quid more on ebuyer, but they are not in Hong Kong, Taiwan or the US.

Oh Ebuyer is also very good, for example: This one

Currently £47.60 for 1Gb CF from www.crucial.com/uk - that includes postage via RM Special Delivery and they're great with returns.

edit: sorry, forgot the new Ixus cams take SD - it's £56.60 for 1Gb.

Good point! hadn't thought of that, are they cheaper in bulk?

Ed to ADD thanks for the ebay prompts guy's, being an ebay virgin didn't think to look there.

There you go! Crucial - a good name and a good price! Beats Corsair from Ebuyer anyway.

How's the new IXUS anyway????

Absolutely brilliant! OH

So easy to use, 7 million pixels hence the big memory card.

This guy was excellent when I dealt with him a few weeks ago.

Good luck!
