    Folks,
    I'm off on my travels next week, so buying online isin't an option.

    Can anyone advise where in Galway would I not get fleeced to buy an 8GB (or 4gb, or 16GB for that matter) SD Card?

    Or if any boardsies have one lying about i'll obviously to pay a reasonable price to buy it from you

    Actually, as it' a Canon G12 i'll be lobbing it into, it'll take any of the following: SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC, MMCplus, HCMMCplus

    Have a look in Easons, Maplin or PC-World.

    Check to see if your camera has a maximum card size; I know that with some Nikon SLRs you're advised only to use a 4gb card.

    Dixons is the same as Currys and PC-World, and the staff in the one in the airport are, in my experience, worse than useless. That goes double for their manager there.

    I hadn't thought of Argos.

    JC; if you're doing video with the camera have a look at the cards with the writing rate on them (15/30/45 mb/s). They're (in theory) supposed to be better for video.

    You're better off looking online for the best prices. http://www.play.com/Search.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=sd+cards

    I bought a 16gb card from them. I use play.com a lot they are reliable and I always get what I order in 3 days or so.

    Tesco usually have them cheap. Think my 2GB SD card from them was around €7, but I can't remember if that was the normal price or an offer. They're over in the bit that used to be the toyshop, behind the counter.
