I am looking for an additional card for my Canon Ixus 400
I want either 256 or 512
Had a look on Ebay which looks like the cheapest place for it but it appears like the are several different ones to chose from !
Which is the best & what should I look for ????
Plus will i get it cheaper elsewhere ????

Cheers

You tried these guys? http://www.valueflash.co.uk/
Very quick reliable service, had mine the following day. I just went for the cheapest, not had any bother.

Be careful, though.............I bought a cheapy for my Dimage 7i, and ended up sending it back, as the camera didn't like it.


Try www.digitaldirect.co.uk or www.scan.co.uk/ or www.crucial.com/uk/
all of which I'd recommend, esp the last one they are VERY cheap, and next day delivery.

I was just about to say 7dayshop but noticed I's been beaten to it - good price although I haven't used them.
Sandisk used to be very good (almost industry standard) although I've heard some bad reports recently. Lexar are supposed to be good also.

I'm looking for 1Gb and best price I was offered when in US a week ago was $199, although only available tomorrow !

Still not decided.

thanks guys still not sure what to go for !

Lexar, Fuji, Crucial and Kingston are the only cards I've used. Had no problems with any of them.

Good article on DP Review comparing speeds of different CF cards.

Here's the best CF Database I've seen.

I went for Sandisk Ultra.
