where is a good reputable place to get good priced camera memory cards whilst out there?

I'll probably at some point need another SD card and maybe a compact flash one as well.

Are publix/walmarts prices (I assume they sell them!) any good on things like this?
 
I priced up at Easter. Cheaper at Play.com and get them delivered to your home free.
2gb sd cards they do a twin pack for £8.99 delivered. I prefer buying the Extreme III at £11.99, They also do the Ultra II at £5.99.

Not bought a CF since last year but they were best price for them also.

7 day shop can be cheap but watch their postage costs.

Quidco also pay 4% cashback for Play.com
 

yeah would buy online, but we go tomorrow! :yay:

I was all sorted, but now when it comes to last minute packing i appear to have lost one memory card (still have some others but not enough i dont think!) so will probably have to buy out there.

Is there no-one you can borrow off and buy when you get home? hope you find a good price out there if not, when I looked at Walmart they were 3 times the price of Play. Maybe they have come down now.
 
Be carefull when buying from amazon and in particular ebay as they have a bad rep for being fake cards, the best place for genuine cards as already mentioned is play.com.

Errrmmmm yes, I think you should have enough lol. I had 5gb for my 6mp camera and it was good for 1800 photos. You should get 1500+ photos on your 10mp camera too. Don't spend too much time behind the lens though or you will miss seeing lots of things! It also takes ages sorting through them all when you get back.... as I found out!

Too right it does, been back 2 weeks now and still havn't been thru all mine, took almost 3,000 pics, I need to hit that delete button a lot.
 
I paid approx £10 for an XD card, last year, from Walmart :)

The equivalent price here, in many places, is £29 :thumbsup2

3000!!:scared1: I thought I was bad (well the wife did!) taking 1800 pics and that was over 3 weeks!

All 3 of us like photography so we have 3 cameras between us, it only averages out at 40 pics per camera per day.:goodvibes

That's a good excuse.. I'll have to remember that one. I have one camera between 4 of us, I take all the pictures on the others behalf so it's only about 20 each per day!!:rotfl2: Don't think DW will look at it like that though, she always walks in front and has to keep coming back to find me when I stop to take pictures.
 
For anyone still looking, I highly recommend .... 7DayShop

Own-Brand or Non-Branded products are as good as any branded stuff for the general consumer....that goes for Batteries too ! Their AA NiMH rechargable batts are outstanding value.

Delivery is a little slow on the downside, so if ordering for your hols, get it in a month or so early(usually 7 days roughly for delivery of stock items).

Just to clarify, I use some of their own/non branded stuff in a professional capacity without fault, so plenty good enough for holiday snaps.
