Memory Cards on sale!

Adorama has the 4gig Ultra III on sale with a rebate give back. After the rebate the price is 19 bucks. I thought you all should be aware of this.

Go Here: http://www.adorama.com/IDSSD4GE3.html

And it seems to work great in the Nikon D80, this was mentioned on the Nikonian site.

That seems like a good price! Free shipping, too, if you can wait 7-10 days for it.

Pam, Both San Disk and Lexar are leaders in Memory cards. You can't go wrong with either of them. The San disk 4GB Extreme III SD card at final price of $19.99 is a steal. I see that on the original link the CF's cards differ in rebate amount but you still can get them at a great price.

I agree with Edmund. SanDisk and Lexar are the two name brands that I recommend. I, personally use the Lexar 8gb 300X CF cards. While the speed doesn't affect my camera, it certainly speeds up the download time and I need that since I am a shooting fool.

My advice is to buy the biggest and fastest cards you can afford.
$20.00 for a 4gb Extreme III card is a screaming deal!

FYI, I bought my husband an Ultra III card for Christmas and it just refused to work.

::sigh::

After some research, I found out that the memory card was newer than his camera (a D50)! Dad-gum-it

Lesson learned: Some newer, faster cards won't work in older cameras. Don't make the same mistake I did--be sure it works in your camera before you buy it.

Excellent advice Lesa! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you will save someone else from making the same mistake. It's not always easy to find out what size cards are compatible with which cameras...you may have to dig.
