New memory card - $80 limit - DPChallenge Forums

12/17/2005 11:14:25 PM · #1

I am getting a rebel xt for christmas (the 300d is for the "family") and so I will be needing another memory card. The one I have now will stay in the 300d. Anyway, my budget is $80, but I want a high speed, reliable card, so all I am asking for is 1 gb of storage. Does that sound reasonable? I am just wondering what cards you guys use in that price/size range.

I start with the weekly ads for BestBuy/Staples Circuit City - one or the other always has a sale/rebate on some card. if not this week, then next.

online, NewEgg is good. I got a 1Gb Kingston Elite pro from them for under $80 a few months back

Pretty much you gotta watch for the deals and jump on them when they show up. 512 cards are still the best deal per Gb/$ and unless you shoot RAW they have plenty of capacity. Even for RAW they'll hold 50-60 images on an XT.

I use SanDisk Ultra II CF cards for speed and reliability.

I do plan on ordering from newegg.

For the 300d I have a 512 card, but I was thinking that there may be ocasions where I want to shoot raw I am thinking 1gb.

Does anyone know the speed that the 350d reads/writes?
