I'm calling on the wealth of knowledge of PH'ers again!

I need a couple of Compact Flash cards, 64MB, 128 and higher possibly.

Has anyone trawled the sites before and found a good cheap supplier?
I've had a look at dabs and a few internet sites? Anyone want to point me at a good site?

Thanks....again

What narks me just a little is that they don't simply make them all with maximum capacity and have done with it. They cost the same amount to make whether they're 16Mb or 1 Gb, so it's all a con anyway.


Are you sure they cost the same?
If they did then surely one company would come along and slash prices of the big cards and make a small fortune?!

Just read Robertuk's post, it appears they do cost the same.

Well actually Canon already are!

When you register you 10D and fill in a question sheet they send you a 64Mb CF for free....


what?!
I brought a new Canon IXUS digi camera last week and have no info about that deal!

Please tell me more......

not sure if it applies to all Canon cameras... But when I went online to register my EOS 10D the other day it asked my to answer 40 questions and they've posted my a free 64Mb CF card for doing so...

The www site was here www.cps.canon-europe.com/index.jsp and it asked me mid way through registration...


Will give it a whirl.
Maybe it was in all the leaflets and stuff that I threw away when I opened the box!
