Never relaly had to buy any, but now have to get quite a few. Any suggestions on cheapest and best place? Looking for 8gb ones minimum I think, and the odd few 2gb ones for the D50.

Thanks guys :thumbs:
 
7 day shop or picstop is the two places I use, most of the time they seem to be the cheapest.
 
A visit to one of the larger supermarkets may yield what you want.
 
Play.com have four 4g cards for £16.99 at the moment. Only class 4's I think but pretty good value.
 
Just go on HotUKDeals and search for SDHC, they usually show the cheapest ones!

I picked up a Class 10 8GB card for £7.70 on amazon marketplace (via MyMemory)
 
drat brefore I got lal the replies I went and orderd that 16gb that 7 day shop had for £13.99! :bonk:
 
Interesting thread. Looking a few myself for my hols next weekend.
 
Anyone had any reliability issues going for the cheaper cards? Mine are ok so far, I tend to go for the 'name' ones mostly as I've heard bad things about the cheaper ones?

Back in the day there was a huge difference in price between the branded and non-branded cards so I used the non-branded ones and never had any issues at all.

Nowadays decent branded ones are so cheap anyway I see no reason not to buy them. I tend to ignore Sandisk and go for Kingston as they are as good quality as the Sandisk, have the same warranty and are cheaper (Kingston are a huge player in the PC Ram market, which is where the expertise for these things derives).

Recently I tried the Transcend card as it looked quick (it is) and was cheap.

Thing is, in most cameras you don't need fast cards - they make no difference at all, the only time it does is when you transfer the images to your computer, up to you to decide if that's worth paying extra for. On my D90, Class 4 was more than sufficient to keep up with the camera.
 
I recently picked up a Duracell 16GB Class 10/200X from 7DayShop for around £18.

I needed something fast for video on my 550D, and it does the job just fine.
 
Over on 7dayshop atm looking at the Transcend cards. Do they have good delivery times?
 
There are two reasons why it's called 7dayshop. ;)
Most of the goods are shipped from Guernsey so it does take a few days. You can pay a bit extra to get priority in the packing queue ahead of us cheapskates but it doesn't speed up the time in transit.
