WOW those are great prices.. this might tempt me in getting a 2gb! lucky I sold one of my cards to a friend who needed it for a holiday a few months ago which gives me some cash to buy another..

Old stock bought at old prices vs new stock bought at current prices?

A few days ago, I was about to get a couple of cards when an acquaintance in the business mentioned prices had fallen through the floor. Yesterday, the 8GB 120x CF card fell from $198 to $165, and the 2GB 150x SD card from $55 to $45. Nice

Gunna have to look into this, getting sick of only having 2x1GB cards, gets really annoying, specially since I've decided I prefer shooting in RAW.

Does anyone know why SD is always so much cheaper than CF?

apsilon · 22nd February 2007, 9:03 AM

Although I'm suspect that they're fake (the pricing is just too good. $90 cheaper than the next best price on staticice) I've order a 4gb Extreme III. I figure it won't be hard to get a refund/reversal if they're fakes and I need another card anyway.

Found their website a bit slow this morning - perhaps its getting hammered

Just ordered a 2GB CF card

Postage for such a small item was expensive though at just over $11

That's because it goes via courier.

land_down_under · 22nd February 2007, 10:24 AM

Yes its via Australian Air Express which is overnight etc.

Australia Post 3kg overnight express bag is only $10.

Still, worth the extra given the good pricing on the CF card

Thanks for the heads up, just ordered a 4 Gig Extreme III

I just bought the 4Gb Extreme III. This thread was perfect timing, I was seriously going to buy a Transcend today at more money!

Thanks heaps.

Can anyone who receives one soon verify whether they're fakes or not? I want to order a few but and wouldn't mind knowing beforehand
