Best place for Sandisk?

Chez · 10-01-2006, 21:47

I need to get a new memory card (I only have 1x2gb and 1x1gb, which equates to around 120 shots with a D200!).

I need at least 2gb (preferably 4gb) and want at least an Ultra II (preferably an Extreme III).

The best deal I can see is £175 for a 4gb Extreme III.

Has anyone seen any other deals on these? Is this a good price??

Thanks in advance
Chez

Dabs had 2gb Sandisk Ultra 2 CF for about £120 last time I checked, mind they didnt have any in stock - on order I recall.

If you have seen them for the price mentioned I'd grab em if possible.

The same place has the 2gb Extreme III for £90..

not sure if this looks too good to be true ! But is an excellent price if it is !

Warspite · 10-01-2006, 21:57

Got some very good price on there IanC UK - has anyone used OnlineMemory before?

IanC_UK · 10-01-2006, 21:59

not used them no, just saw the link on another forum, this one also

Chez · 10-01-2006, 22:08

All the Extreme IIIs are out of stock on that last one but 4gb for £157 on the top one seems very good (£18 cheaper than Fotosense, but I have used Fotosense before)

IanC_UK · 10-01-2006, 22:10

well previous use is a big plus for me, so cant argue with £18 more for a bit of peace of mind !

I have used OnlineMemory before. It took about a week for my CF card to arrive. Apparently they were out of stock when I ordered (something which they didnt tell me at the time!) However, I must admit I got regular emails advising me of the stock situation and the CF card arrived the day after I was informed it was back in stock. If its any halp I would use them again.

What IS going on with Sandisk CF Card !!!! http://www.fotosense.co.uk/shop_details.asp?productID=72&productName=Sandisk_ 2GB_EXTREME_III_Compact_Flash_(133x_Speed)

Some fantastic prices on fotosense there!

4gb Ultra 2 for £145 looks amazing!

IanC_UK · 11-01-2006, 20:59

Oh, I hadnt noticed that.

Maybe theres a set of '4' series cards that are even faster in the pipeline?!

Arkady · 12-01-2006, 10:16

Even faster? Than 133x?

I wish I had some spare cash - those prices are phenomenal.

I'm very, very tempted to get a 4GB Ultra II for that price. Think I might have to. That's about 400 RAW shots on my 20D.

Chez · 12-01-2006, 12:49

I went for a 4gb Extreme III from Fotosense..

Unfortunately, I'll only get about 160 shots on it with the D200 (still shooting RAW+Jpeg (Fine) until Epson sort out a firmware upgrade for the P2000!)

minimeeze · 12-01-2006, 15:32

www.mouse2house.co.uk have some very reasonably priced CF cards. Have used them recently and would recommend them.

p00hbear · 12-01-2006, 16:55

stock just came in at various online retailers, onlinememory, picstop.co.uk, mymemory.co.uk all averaging £150 delivered for 4Gb extreme III. I would get one but going U.S end of this month so wondering if I should wait. US prices doenst seem to have come down and is more expensive i.e. $399 still...

does anyone know whether this drop is permanent or a one-off promo from sandisk...?
