A co-worker purchased a pair of the ultra2 sandisk 2gb cfs from buy.com a month and a half ago and still has not received the items...he was promised a 'great purchase price' of something like $150each...when he called CS they told him that the website waits till they meet a certain prepurchased threshold before buying the cards in bulk and finally delivering the goods to you...so beware and read their wording, if it says something to the effect of 'in stock soon' or 'on order' you'll prolly be waiting quite a bit....

thanks for the warning! i've never had any dealings with Buy.com but i can highly recommend NewEgg.com.
the speeds of the flash cards can only be fully used if your camera is capable of using the speed, if its not - you're wasting your money on speed you can't use.

I could be wrong here and if I was this is all moot. It reminds me when I still had my Rebel and I was shopping for a CF card. I don't remember whether Vistek told me it was lexar 80x or the Twinmos 80x that would not work with the rebel. They say it will work but you're not getting the speed they claim the cards is capable of getting. Something to ask the vendor just to verify that the cards and speed actually work with your camera.

while this may be true in camera, keep in mind that if you throw the card into a fast card reader, you'll also see improvements in transfer speed to your PC.
Thanks for the heads up guys and gals. I had no idea 1GB cards had dropped so low. I just ordered the Sandisk UltraII 1GB from B&H this evening. A few months ago I got a 512MB Lexar 40X Pro from B&H and it was $119.00!!!!!!! Damn technology prices are constantly shifting!

That 2GB card at Costco costs less than the 1GB Ultra II I just bought on Aug 24. I have word from a decent source that this is the beginning of a substantial glut of memory cards coming available in the Christmas season.
They were at that price ($70) on Amazon last night from TigerDirect, I ordered 2 ... but today they aren't offering that anymore and when I called TigerDirect they are backordered until next week.
