flash memory....which one?

Bane · 29-December-05, 02:54 AM

Hey guys, I know that this is kinda related to computers, but here goes
Just bought a digital camera. The Canon Powershot A610. For the memory, i need an SD memory card
I was looking at the Patriot and the Corsair 1 GB cards at the speed of 133x. Was wondering what were your takes on them. Or...is there a better deal out there on another brand? Is the 133x speed seriously going to be more noticeable than say 40x or 80x? thanks

Both end up being the same price after tax and shipping. Newegg includes a year subscription to PC World magazine for free.

Well, here it is January 6th and the memory card still has not come in yet. Purchased on Sunday, January 1st, the memory had been at Step 3 on Newegg until this morning, when it changed to step 4.

Since their customer support phone number is always busy, did the online chat thing. First rep I talked to said he would call the warehouse, tell them to find my package and upgrade my shipping for free. So the next day I check, and it's still at Step 3. Went online again yesterday and the rep tells me that their warehouse has been bogged down by holiday shipping and it will be sent out today. Well, it's still at Step 4. :S Have to go back to school on the 10th and not happy
