Well, if you trust a no-name brand of flash memory, today's Woot is a 4GB SD card for $25. I'm tempted, but I think I'll stick with a name I trust. I've already had one card go bad on me.


Hm. Can't find out much about this card. Their website, Connect3d tells you very little.

This looks like a standard SD card, not an SDHC - so Tony, it may work with your camera. I believe that this manufacturer is using this trick (from Wikipedia) to get 4GB in an SD card (although it only talks about 2GB...):

"To make 2GByte card, the Maximum Block Length (READ_BL_LEN=WRITE_BL_LEN) shall be set to 1024 bytes. However, the Block Length, set by CMD16, shall be up to 512 bytes to keep consistency with 512 bytes Maximum Block Length cards (Less than and equal 2GByte cards)."

That trick also appears to make compatibility an issue...

I dunno about that brand. I just bought a 2GB A-Data card (Turbo line - they claim 150x speed) for my camera for 30 bucks from Newegg. The Woot is a good deal, but the brand is still dubious, IMHO...
