8GB CF card anyone?

[Eggle]

Just thought I would ask, as we always seem to have redundant cards in the cupboards.
I am just about to buy a 8Gb CF card for my 20d. Before I give my £20 to an ebay seller, anyone want to offer me one?

[Dogsey]

No, but you should be able to pick up a genuine one on 7dayshop.com cheaper than £20.

Avoid eBay. It's full of fakes, and not especially cheap. Even the sellers with good feedback sell fakes most of the time - other buyers seem to have very low standards!

You could try this one, it's just over £20 but is a huge saving over the RRP.

Both cards are very sloooooooooooooooooooooow. If you are planning to use high speed bursts, these cards may be too slow.

This is fast enough for my 40D to do full speed bursts (6.5fps), £18 delivered for 8GB 133x

Just make sure you buy a legit one from a legit place. Some clients of mine recently went to new york and lost a whole days pictures from their sightseeing. I tried to run it through some recovery software but the card wont even register.

Not worth the risk for the sake of a few quid. Why buy a nice camera and nice lenses then skimp on the bit that records it all.

I've 6 of the very same card here and they cope with whatever I throw at them
