Canon 12x IS USM (S3 IS built-in Lens) -- 36-432mm (35mm EQ)

Doesn't come across as Cheeky but im going to Italy at the end of this month 29th March - 8th April.
Mainly to photograph and to make a book. but my problem is, i really can not afford to buy any extra memory card at the moment! alls i have is one 512MB and that will last me about half a day haha.
So what im asking is if there would be anyone interested in Lending me some memory cards? they will be returned special delivery the day i return back to England. And would be properly looked after.
i will also give you a print of your choice that i have taken whilst in Italy.

again i hope im not coming across as Cheeky, but alot of things have came up such as me needing to get a new passport and flights going up etc, so i really do need every last penny i have now.

Thanks Jay :)

*Edit too add, i wont be needing them for a few weeks, not going till the 29th.

It might help to post what type/model of card you need, rather than making people research your camera. :-)

I have a 1GB Lexar Platinum (40x) card I'm not using right now -- PM me your address. It may take a while to get there from the US/West Coast.

Kingsten 4Gb just $19.95 after rebate

Okay, it's not as cheap as borrowing a CF card. But realistically, these cards are so cheap today that it's hard not to be able to afford them.

I know this wasn't exactly what you were wanting, but given that you were willing to send the cards back with special delivery- this seems like a pretty good deal? At Â£16 it cant be much more than the return price of borrowing one, plus free delivery.

We should get together on this and mail together. I have a 2GB SanDisk Ultra II & a 1GB 80x I can send along.

GeneralE sent me his, and added it to the 2 I have.
Look for them in about a week. Hope 4GB will be enough.
