I'm want 2-4 gig cards.The ones I have are good for JPEG,but now that I'm expiramenting with RAW,the 3-256,1-512 fill up too quick.
I have a 1gig and a 2gig,but I think I need more than that.

Also,if I decide not to buy right away,can I download RAW files and then burn them to CD/DVD and then prosses from the disk later?
To keep my laptop from fill up so fast.

2 GB and 4 GB cards are almost commodity items nowadays. Check your Sunday sale fliers, for instance. Depending on the camera and your shooting habits, anything from the SanDisk Ultra II on up will work well. If you shoot a lot, the slower cards will back up your camera's buffer though.

You certainly can burn RAW files off to DVD (you wouldn't want to do CD; it'd take 3-6 per card) for later processing. Using DVD, a 4 GB card's a convenient size.

Amazon would be your best bet but check out www.pricegrabber.com to see who has the cheapest deal.

I'd have a look at mymemory.co.uk - onlinememory.co.uk - play.com or 7dayshop.com
all of these have pretty good prices.
