Just wondering if anyone knows the cheapest online source for cf cards
In particular I'm trying to upgrade mine to the neww 600x speed standard

Wendell,
This place is in Melbourne but I think this would have to be one of the best places in Aus to get memory cards.

http://www.ow.com.au

I have only ever used Organiser World when purchasing memory cards (CF, SD, microSD) and they have always had great prices.

Hope this helps...

Dave PS. I have no affiliation with OW, just a fan of their service and good pricing :)

Check this company out.

I ordered some stuff off them, including a 16Gb Sandisk Ultra SDHC and a 16Gb microSDHC card, a few months ago - and the Sandisk stuff was genuine AFAIK and drop-shipped from Ingram Micro, which also gives a lot of confidence.

They list the Sandisk Extreme Pro 600x CF cards (90MBPS) for 16Gb @ $198 and the 32Gb at $353

I would suggest paying by credit card though - as some have said on other forums that their sell price is less than Ingram Micros wholesale price - so meanign you can chargeback if they were running an unsustainable business model. But my experience with them was very good.......

Be careful of fakes when buying online. It doesn't matter that much for occational users but you will probably notice the speed and durability difference. It's very hard to tell a fake from real.

Have you had a look at http://www.dealextreme.com/?

They have genuine and "not so genuine" stuff. I have never had problems with their customer service, but just be careful it really say (or they tell you in an email) it is genuine stuff.

And their prices are above wholesale.

They do have some good pricing. Their postage prices on the other hand are a bit over the top.
