8GB Extreme IV CF Cards

Mine arrived this morning....Only hiccup was my bank questioning the transaction.

Gotta laugh though, two 1" square memory cards arrive in a box 14"x8"x1".
 
Mine arrived ... all good apart from the crazy OTT amount of packaging it was sent in by Amazon!
 
Just a heads up to say that, as at 6pm, Amazon are now showing them back in stock at the same price :woot:
 
Cheers just got 2.
 
Cheers for the post, as of 5 minutes ago they were still the same price :D
 
Got mine, genuine and lovely.
 
the argos link is to Extreme III card not Extreme IV like the Amazon link.
 
Ordered one to go with the new camera :)
 
Ordered 2 from Amazon, two weeks ago, they arrived in a couple of days and I registered them with SanDisk for the waranty, no problems, am very happy with them at that price.

I don't know if any of these are bargains but they may be so here goes.

Back in october when I picked up my sony alpha a200, I got two 4Gb Lexar CF cards 60X
for.. wait for it.. £7 each. You can't deny that's a bargain. (they no longer sell them though)

I'm aware lexar probably doesn't compare to the likes of sandisk, but £7! dirt cheap for a student beginnning photography :D
 
lexar are as good as sandisk but 60x are slow (Extreme IVs are over 300x iirc).
Of course if you don't need higher speed for continuous shooting or fast transfer speed to PC then they'll do just fine.
 
Mine has started to say its full when there are like 6 pictures on it, does this mean its buggered, would a Format help. When it says its full, i turn the camera off and i have like 600+ left, then i take 1 pic and it says its full.

I always format cards once i have copied the contents off. Has to be worth a try specially if only getting half a dozen shots on 8gb !

Interesting as I had exactly the same experience the other day with mine ...
Formatted again (I always format after copying photos over anyway) & it's been OK since but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Yeah i have formatted it again, and it seems ok for now.
 
Make sure you're formatting in camera rather than on a PC or Mac. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
