4GB Compact Flash??

[wrx_sti_22b]

Transcend don't have lifetime warranty. Only Kingston & Sandisk have lifetime warranty. Someone mentioned at Sim Lim Sq 'Best Bargain' #05-02, Transcend 120x 2gb CF is selling for $106. 4gb $197.

Just buy what you can afford now. No need to go for the highest speed. The price of such IT stuff will keep dropping. Its a matter of when you actually need it - not just "want to" have it. The sales rep at SLS, IT show or any other shops will try to sell their latest and "fastest" CF card but I told them I'm not in a hurry to get any CF cards now Unless ... you need it for your rice bowl :think:

Buy what you need rather.

Just found out that you can check whether Sandisk Compact Flash is compatible with DSL camera... for example mine is D70.

Check out the shop lah... Best Bargain #05-02 Sim Lim Square... Better than paying $239.90 for Sandisk Extreme III 2gb right? On some other threads with a weblink on CF card write & read speed, the Transcend 120X is only a tinny winny bit slower than Sandisk Extreme III & Lexar 133x only. For the price & the capacity, it's worth it.

Hi,

Has anyone used the Extreme III 4GB with D100?


thanks.

Beside the speed n prices of the diff brand of CF cards

Maybe also need to consider the operating n storage temp of the CF card if u r a regular globe-trekker :dunno:
Especially if u r going to countries w/ winter < -10-15C or below & desert which temp soar to 40-50C, ur CF card might fail on u
Can check the specs of diff brands loh

But if main usage is in Spore, it doesn't matters really

To throw further confusion into the discussion, don't forget the Extreme IV with the Extreme Firewire card reader = 40Mb/s download speeds ! Announced a couple of days ago I think...

If you don't want to be at the bleeding edge then at least the Extreme III will be had cheaper very soon.

Cheers

I was about to get my Transcend 4GB CF card at the IT show but I did not buy finally after I am told that the warranty is only for a year instead of life-time like others...

just for your info..because best bargain never get their goods from Transcend sole distributor in Singapore so they cannot provide the life-time warranty..^_^
