memory cards...plse?

Any takers over here?


Hi,
I'm off on my hols in augs.... coiuld do witha bit more space for memory for a nikon 5700.

The handbook recommends a maximum of 1gig micro drive....sandisk...which I can't get easily.

Wouild there be any problem with higher memories such as 2 gig, 4 gig etc which are actualy easier to source than the 1 gig ones?

Any other recoomendations....it isn't fast to write to the card......old technology and all that.

I'd go for the bigger ones if you had a modern camera as you tend to get better deals, but beware if you camera is old then they may only be able to see a percentage of it... i.e. you buy a 8gb card and you may only be able to use 4gb...

looks like your camera can only handle 1gb ones tho...

 

yes i gig is quoted in the manual.....but that was 4/5 years ago....not sure bigger ones were ava ilable then

pf member with a 5600 says 2 gig is no problem to his

I#ll try 2 to start with....ebtter then the 125mb i'm usin now.....which is better than thye 32 tht acme witht the camera

 

yeah, thats a wise move - also, don't buy them from fleabay - there are loads of fakes out there...

while you probably wouldn't have any issues with most of them (?) - some are built so that on their second use they fail...

 

7dayshop.com

had any dealings witht hese guys Mr c? (

any one else?

 

yes I have...tho, I can't remember what I bought from them - but I'm on their mailing list...

also check out - MyMemory.co.uk I just bought a super duper cheap SanDisk 4GB Extreme III Compact Flash Card x 1 deleivered for about 20 quid...

 

I've got most of my cards from play.com after having picked up some fakes off of ebay.

AVOID THE SELLER E-CELL!!!

 

yes iv e dealt with play i think before

 

play are very good - free delivery too....

 

Also check Amazon - they do sometimes get some good deals.

 

good idea

but same as e bay are they the gu***ne thing?

 

Re Amazon as long as they are supplied by Amazon and not a re-seller in their market place then you should be fine.

The market place is similar to fleabay - buyer beware
