Bargain?(CF cards)

Ricky91t

Well,needed some new memory and decided to check mymemory.co.uk,Found sandisk ultra III CF cards for a good price,
Although they are refurbs they have a one year warranty so obviously refurbished by sandisk or someone sandisk recommended
Any way prices are
Ultra III 2GB :£8.99
Ultra III 4GB :£14.99

Postage worldwide is free so seems like a good deal
Link

Also they come with recovery software

I assume they are cheap because ultra II cards on the same site are £11.99 and they are reduced

Thats good, i got my extreme 3 (the 30mbs one) for 17 sterling before christmas but 14 is a good price and free delivery!

Edit: i found a better one. http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Compact-Flash-Cards/Kingston/Kingston-8GB-133X-ELITE-PRO-Compact-Flash-Card

I have a 133x kingston 2gb and i cant tell the difference in the camera, only when transferring to pc.

I also have Extreme III card, however it's 30Mb/s unlike the ones you are asking about. I bought it for about 18 Euro, so I do not think this is a good deal.

Saw those on the site,They're £10 more for a 4GB and TBH my ultra II 15mb/s is quick enough in my 1D so 20 mb/s will be fine

Also buy a good bit off mymemory never had as issue with them

Ricky, I don't think you will see any difference in camera, since camera memory buffers eliminate any shot-to-shot delay. However you will see a major improvement on downloading your shots to pc with a faster card.

i'm assuming everyone knows that even the 'reputable' sellers on ebay are flogging fake sandisk cards?

i got a 2gb extreme III off an ebay powerseller in the UK and it was slower than a generic card i'd bought on ebay 2 years previously. ebay weren't interested in him flogging fakes though, even when i offered to bring it in to them to prove it they insisted i resolve my 'issue' directly with the seller. i wasn't interested in his send it back to me and i'll refund you, as he would have gone back to selling fakes to other users and ebay are obviously not bothered anyway.

i also ordered a card off amazon with an olympus e-420 and a couple of other bits, all of which it said were plenty in stock, but the sandisk card was going to take over a month to arrive despite the camera etc. arriving in a few days. apparently 'in stock' means in stock at thier supplier, not in stock with them.

ordered off memoryc in the end about 2:30pm and it arrived the following morning. cost slightly more, but it was worth it to have it shipped in good time.

Would recommend considering www.shop4memory.com based in Celbridge too... they allow pickups if time is of the essence...but best call them in advance to confirm.

Not if there looking for 45 euro for a sandisk extreme 3 4gb

Fair enough...I didn't check prices of OP items/specifics. Have been very happy with value from them on several things in the past though, and ability to collect.

Amazon were selling the 30mb/sec SanDisk CompactFlash 4GB Extreme III cards recently for £17.99 which was a fantastic price....unfortunately they're gone back up to £25.45.

Edit...just found the 30mb/sec SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash 4GB cards for £19.99 from 7dayshop

yep, that would have been when i got my e-420 off them and they couldn't deliver the sandisk card for over a month despite saying it was in stock when i bought the camera.

i thought £18 seemed cheap at the time, i think i paid 25 at memoryc in the end (afaik) but it was well worth it to get it next day.
