I need to buy a couple of 16gb CF cards. Anyone know the best place to buy them (reputable dealers only since I do not want fakes)?

It depends where you are, If you're in the UK then I'm sure it would be a different answer than you being in the USA, if you're in Iran then different again.

However... Internationally Amazon would be pretty safe. Avoid eBay at all costs!

yeah, USA. In this case I agree avoid eBay for memory cards that matter.

I wasn't actually being sarcastic David, although it has been known. :)

I'd assumed with a name like DavidPhoto it was probably an English speaking country. If you had of been in the UK then I'd have suggested something like 7dayshop or play.com so you can imagine location does make a difference.

cheers

This man speaks the truth! Ebay has become a cesspool of junk products and scammers

I've bought all my memory from Data Memory Systems for years.

Costco has some great deals on Sandisk 4GB and 8GB CF cards. I think the instant rebates expire at the end of the month. I bought a few and they are not fakes (serial number is printed on the side of the card).
