I bought one of those from 7DayShop... just waiting for it to arrive - they also add £3.95 for postage bringing the cost to £28.84.

There's also this 2GB Compact Flash card from Burnmedia which costs £27.69 if you choose 1st class delivery - never ordered from Burn-Media though.

Bit more expensive at £32.99+ 3.95 delivery, but a 133x card.

Cheers

I have that card. Filled it a couple of times and had no problems. It's a bit slower than the Sandisk Extreme, especially uploading from camera to PC but it's still great value imo.

You can buy three of these for the price of the Sandisk though!

In this case I'm a firm believer in Quantity not Quality (Although I'm not saying budget cards are not good quality, I bought a Transcend 2gig card and it has a lifetime warranty which shows confidence in their products!)

I agree with you Nick. I bought the Extreme when I got my 350d and am very happy with it. When I found that I needed more memory, I thought I'd give this card a try. I only wish I had got this first as it would have saved me a few quid. I've also got the 1gig version from mymemory and that performs just as well.

Slightly off-topic but I bought 2 replacement batteries for the 350D and it cost me a grand total of £17.53 including VAT and postage for 2 batteries !
They seem very good as well

Mine arrived this morning so only had a quick play. seems quick enough for me, not done any burst shooting but as I rarely do this, it wasn't a consideration. Card is branded as Viking Interworks.
