Need to buy Two 2 Gigs compact flash cards b4 next Saturday. Tried XLShop.com but they don''t have it stock. Because can't reach customer Services at 7DayShop hence did not wanted to take any chance.
Any ideas where can I buy one (reasonably priced) and still get them b4 next Saturday?
 
Have ordered one from Play.com. Lets hope it comes in early next week. 2 GB x 3 plus a 256MB should be enough imo for a 2 week holidays? What you think guys? Worse case can buy one at retail price :gag: if need be.
 
I filled about 7gb doing one wedding the other week - I guess if you chimp and just save the pics you want you should be ok :)
 
It will be enough if you shoot in JPEG but you'll run out of room in RAW. I came back from 1 weeks holiday with 5 Gb of shots from Zante , looking at the list of destinations for your cruise I would say no chance for 2Gb.
 
MrGubby,

Have 6.256 GB in total if the play.com arrives in time :gag: so I think I am ok with the size I am carrying. Will carry my laptop and dump pictures from the cards to it if need be I think though I don't want to lug too much weight along. Good thing is cruises have no luggage restrictions as such (I think. :thinking:

Zahir - I just bought a used 40gb Jobo Gigaone thingy which I should have by early next week - if you want to borrow it for the trip you're welcome :thinking:

www.picstop.co.uk?

Very very fast (usually next day, even if you go for the cheapest option). I reckon if you order in the next hour or so you may well get it tomorrow.

Thanks Joe T. I have just gone and bought a 4gb Extreme III CF from picstop.
 
Very kind of you Paul for the offer. Let me see if I can figure out anything before I jump to yours :)
 
if you have an ipod thats an easy way to dump a fair few gigs of photos without taking a lappy.
 
Now why did I sell my 40gig iPod to one of the tpf members why why :thinking: :thinking:

:lol: - Guess who - :lol: - I think the Jobo would be easier! If you don't get sorted you know where I am ... Paul "The Gadget Consultant" ;)
 
Ordered 2 from Play.com & they say they dispatched one on the 12th & the other on 15th May. Was looking forward to get them at least one by today but no luck so far. :'(

Hope they ship from the UK which even if shipped standard 2nd class should not take more than 3 days in genreal.

Hope I recieve them before my holidays on saturday :gag:
 
In the future I will always take your advice JoeT :notworthy: :notworthy: :D
 
Be careful Joe else it will be difficult to pass through your door ;)
 
Got one in today. Impressed with what came along for the price.
1. A black pouch not those shoddy clear plastics one.
2. Recue Pro recovery software.
3. Licence key to activate Capture ONE Raw Workflow software.

:)
 
Well I have just taken Joe's advice! 1 x Sandisk Extreme III 4gb heading my way. I ended the night last night scraping by with 2 shots left on my usual card - decided that I had better spend yet more money!
 
I got my Toshiba 4gb Highspeed CF and a memory card reader for 23.19 inc P&P from www.memorybits.co.uk they have a offer on at the moment, if you use Google check out and you spend over £30 you get £10 off. I can highly recommend these guys delivery time was fantastic (actually made it to me before my camera did which was ordered 2 days before !!) and the process for signing up for google checkout was quick and painless :)
 
my sandisk 2gigger arrived this morning.. now I'm just waiting for battery and 430ex :c
 
Jimmy Lemon.How on earth did you manage to fill 7GB of cards at 1 wedding?! my 350D fits 232 raw files on a 2GB card. 7 GB is the thick end of 900 shots?! do you suffer from RSI of the shutter finger..:bonk: :lol:
