I don't put too much stock in the SanDisk Brand. I have never had a problem with any of my "cheap-brand" cards. I now use Transcend, and you can get a 4gb 120x card for around CAD$75, almost half the price of the SanDisk Extreme 3. I do have a good experience with Tigerdirect, they are reliable and usually have competitive prices. What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Tigerdirect.ca with shipping comes to $181.21 Cdn (to Alberta) or $90.61 Cdn per card, excluding tax. Bob

So, B&H is cheaper than Tigerdirect.ca by just a bit ... and you will get the cards in three business days. Even the tax will be slightly less buying from B&H since the price is lower. edit: Doh, should have worked it out for four 2 GB cards. The savings will be even greater for buying from B&H.

). All are listed as 150x speed. I know no good way of testing them, but I know they "feel" a lot faster transfering stuff to and from my pc's than any MMC's or SD's I've used in the past. For $60 USD for the 4gb flavor off Newegg.com I'm tickled pink
