Kayakmom Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I'm looking to buy a Compact Flash card to use with my digital SLR camera. I'd like at least a 1 gig card. At this point I'm just starting with the camera and would like to be able to hold a reasonable amount of photos. My 512mb card will only hold 41 photos, so another card is a must. Any good bargains out there? So far I'm considering the PNY 1GB at Staples for $59.94 - $10 easy rebate. I am also thinking about the Hitachi 4GC Microdrive reg. $179 on sale for $149 + $50 rebate at Best Buy. Any suggestions or other deals I should consider? If anyone is familiar with digital SLR's, do you think either of these would be quality enough to write at reasonable speeds for continuous shooting in RAW + JPG format? The Hitachi writes at 7.2mb/sec. and a SanDisk Ultra II writes at 9mb/sec., for example. I wonder how much difference I will notice and if it's worth the huge jump in price. I'd be interested to look at any good CF card deals that anyone can find. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakmom Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I've narrowed it down based on my camera and test speeds on various cards. I'd like to have either a SanDisk Ultra II or SanDisk Extreme III card in 1GB size. Thanks for any help finding a good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 You could try Buy.com using one of their coupons. Look for CF cards which also have a rebate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayakmom Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thanks, Rossman. I checked it out and Best Buy still had the best price AR, so I picked one up today when I went to return a video game I bought for my son that he already has had for months. P.S. Why is it that only mom buys duplicates and Santa doesn't?!?! Twice I heard, "Thanks, Mom. Ummm... I have this already." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
