digital camera

[martinrmn]

When we fly to Orlando Dec 1st I am taking my Olympus C-22O digital camera. Unfortunately the memory card is only 16MB. Can anyone suggest where I can get a larger card from, something like 256MB or bigger? Also how much?

You could try here (7 day shop) they are dirt cheap for CF cards, not sure what you use in your camera

don't forget that you can walk into any Walgreens and print off pics at good prices

Amazon.co.uk have good prices on memory cards

Another vote for the 7 day shop, DH loves it, we got a 1gb memory stick, adapter for the memory stick pro, printer cartridges and paper for i think it was around £100.

I second 7dayshop and I am a professional. Their own-brand stuff is actually extremely good and cheap as chips.

Get the biggest cards you can afford and try to get more than one, in case you lose one then you dont lose the entire lot.
Also worth investing in a card wallet or storeage - anly a couple of quid from 7dayshop, but protects and stores the cards.

I have used pricestorm and amazon for memory cards in the past, makes like Integral and Viking and have not had any problems with them. I will make a note of the other sites listed here too to see how they compare.

Whatever you do, don't buy from Global Camera & Gallery on Int Drive near Seaworld. I'd read bad things about them selling cameras on camera forums but as they were next to our hotel and I needed a battery I thought I'd try.

How can you mis-sell a battery? They tried to fob me off with one which wouldn't have fit in my camera, (which I didn't have with me at the time), and insisted that it would. Only when I asked them to show me it inside an identical model did they back down and admit that they didn't have what I wanted.

Ritz cameras in the Florida Mall are OK, a bit like Jessops.

You'll need a "SmartMedia" (SM for short) card for that camera. Try the above recommended places, i second (or third/fourth, whatever it is) the motion for 7 day shop. If they haven't got what you need, most medium-large Tescos do them, although it will be more costly than online.

Also worth considering when you're over there - the majority of the walmarts and publix with photo-processing centres generally charge about $3.95 (or they did) to drop your card's pictures onto a cd for you.

Walgreens do the CDs too
You just insert the card and choose what you want to keep on disk

Nothing that I can find. Even if you avoid the really cheap ones, and get the Sandisk ones these are still very cheap.

I know it's leaving it a bit late (you run the risk of them not having one and then you're screwed), but you could always try at the airport.

Here's the weird thing though - at Gatwick on our last trip, the main duty-free store itself (the one that sells the booze and perfume etc.) did a better price on digital camera media than both the Dixons and the other electronics store that was airside, plus they also had a wider selection of cards (Dixons had nothing above 256MB for example), despite the fact that these stores are meant to be the electronics 'specialists'!

I ended up buying a 512MB XD card for my Fuji camera from the duty-free for about the same price as I had seen them going for on-line.
