I was at my local Costco's yesterday and they had an in-store deal for the San Disk Ultra II Compact Flash cards, 4 gb for $27. I picked up a handful. Deal is not online. Hope that helps anyone. I remember when I used to have to pay close to $100 for a 2gb, jeez.

I just paid $54 at costco for the exact same card in the middle of december. I wonder if they'll refund me the difference?

hmmm I'll have to take a trip down to my costco today and see if we have that deal here, thanks for the heads up...

I remember when a 64k card cost me 50 bucks! That wasn't that long ago really! Maybe early 04!

my first 4gb extreme III was $450

great deal, I just wish the had the extremes there, oh well

Matt, I'm sure they will refund you the difference. We bought a TV there in the fall and got 3 seperate price adjustments over a 90 day period. I love Costcos!

Watch Adorama and B&H. They sold out quick...don't know if they will get any more...I just bought a 4gb Kingston 133x card yesterday and after mail in rebate it will be free. Just pay the shipping. I check www.slickdeals.net daily.

Adorama: http://www.adorama.com/KGCF4GEP.html?kbid=62905 - hopefully this means they will track a few more down before the rebate ends on Feb. 8.

thats nothing i remember paying $120 for a 215mb card that was required for one of my photo classes in college. ouch!

FYI

For those of us that use SD, buy.com has kingston 2GB SD Cards for 12.99..

You could also do (3) Sandisk Extreme III 8GB for $99x3=$297-$160 rebate=$137 + shipping. It comes out to a little over 46 bucks per.

Of course, we could start that large vs small capacity flash card debate again...but why?

Well when I was in college I had to pay $6 a roll for T-Max 400...

Exactly what I was thinking!! Oh how the times have changed!

Ah, yes....I remember those days well. Really brought me back to how much I spent on the "good" film in college. Funny thing is that was only seven years ago!

I remember when I got a 256MB CF card and it was like 70 dollars. I was on cloud nine LOL. That won't hold crap for us now in our DSLR's.

Oooh! Where's this deal from?

Sweeeet!

p/s this animation has nothing to do with that...i just thought it was hilarious!

I remember when I was in school, all we had was Pan-X .Tmax was just starting to be used and it was expensive! But there was always good old 4x5 film, that wasn't expensive at all for a beginner.

This week Feb. 10-16, Best Buy has the Sandisk Extreme III 2GB CF @ 39.99
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone interested.

Oh, how I loved Tmax. Absolutely adored it, contrasty as hell, developed it myself at home. And all the 'old-timers'--including all my instructors--hated it!

Of course, when I discovered slide film, I fell for Fuji Velvia too. All that contrast, those fabulous colors...

And the only thing more fun than those two was shooting B/W infrared!

Ah, the good ol' days. Nope....I loved them all, but I like digital a LOT better. And I don't miss smelling like a darkroom!

Will someone explain to me which memory cards are better and why....
