Hi Everyone

I'm looking to buy a couple of 4GB SD cards and just wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper than these - 4GB SanDisk SDHC SecureDigital Ultra II Card - they're £7.03 from Amazon themselves

First what camera are they for.
Second what will you be shooting.
I would reckomend Sandisk extreme 111.
I use two 8 gig cards with my D300, the write speed is lightening.
I have other 8 gig cards but the write speed does not compare.
OK A bit pricier but you got to pay for good quality.

Thanks, they're for my D90, I shoot all sorts like birds, animals, people, landscapes, flowers. I've got one of these 4GB cards already that I bought from Currys for about £14 so I know they're a good card, I just wondered if anyone knew of anywhere cheaper than Amazon :)

Thanks for that, yes they're £5.70 with completeAV at the moment, so will have a think about them, it's good to know that they're ok to deal with :)

I was going to ask the same thing. Amazon seems very cheap!

I've just got a standard sandisk 4gb card. I'll be going to take some shots of bmx bike in a field on Sunday, intending to shoot raw. So writing in an issue will try one of those.

I wouldn't think the III would be any better for my D40 as it's not fast enough to take the photo's that quickly anyway.

Just noticed I was looking at the extreme cards on other sites, hence the price difference. There also seems to be different version of the same cards. Class 4 on warehousexpress and class 2 on amazon!
