Anyone go in Maplins today for the cheap offers - SD card?

[Karen182]

I got one of the "cheap offers" the 1gb SD card for £9.99 - my other SD cards had corrupted anyway and I just wanted a cheap option for my digital camera. Is it any good?? I know I've got it now, just wondered...

don't know about the one you got, but in future have a look at places like Play.com - read about it on here, ordered a Sandisk extreme III 1gb card from there for £12, came the next day. bonus!

Thing to check for with SD cards is the speed rating. Matters quite a bit now by the time you're into 6+ megapixels (and the associated filesizes). Will matter more in time, too, as image sizes go up further. Unless you've got a camera with a decent sized internal memory that then "re-writes" the images to the SD card. For an extra tenner, I'd go for a higher speed one...

picstop, svp and ebuyer also have cheap memory. I paid £6 for a 1gb Kingston SD card (got free p&p as the rest of the order was large enough)

Staples also do 1gb for £10 if maplin sell out

What is an SD card, and what does it do when plugged into a Plasma TV?

(have seen 'SD card compatible', but have no idea what that is! lol

if your tv as an sd card reader it simply looks for images then runs a slideshow for you

I went to see how much Shaun of the Dead was and my eyes were drawn across to the other sections!
