64 MB Compactflash $64.95 after discount -- FOR YOUR CANON S-10'S! (tomtnt posted earlier)

[NICKel]

Apparently this was posted earlier by tomtnt: but a good deal always bears repeating... sorry for the double post.

Kingston has a $25 rebate on 64 MB Compactflash. ends 12/31. Buy.com has this for $109.95 - $20 coupon - $25 rebate = $64.95.

Rebate here

Don't forget the $5.20 shipping. For someone in California I estimated the price to be $76.71 (with tax and $70.51 without CA tax). I was trying to get the same card at Computers4Sure for $71.74 after all rebates and discounts but I am not sure if it will work...

One cautionary note. I think the Canon S-10 uses Smart Media and the new S-100 now uses more common Compact Flash. I am not sure, just going on memory. Worth checking before buying.

Nope it uses Compact Flash, All Canon's do. In fact I would love to get my hands on a MicroDrive. Now only the S10 and the S20 (maybe the S100 ElPH???) can use those not the older A50 or A5.

Unfortunately, the S100 Digital Elph cannot use the IBM microdrive b/c it can take only Compact Flash type I cards, and the Microdrive is a CF Type II card. Only the S10 and S20 can take advantage of the Microdrive.

On a side note, buy.com is selling the Microdrive for $254.95. Pricematch with Staples and use that $40 off coupon for a great price on 340MB of picture storage!!

thank you

besides, i'm starting to have serious doubts about buy.com, I've been trying to buy this ram for the past hour (AFTER SEEING tomtnt'S POST!) and I keep getting a "internal server error" when I go to check out. When I call Buy.com all i get is a busy signal!

i've heard microdrives aren't all that reliable. w/in 9 months or something, they fail.

Besides, the s10 is a battery hog, you'd need a couple spare batteries to take up all that space. I'd rather just have a 64MB CF. The quality at 1600x1200@fine quality is AMAZING. i have an 8x10 is very nice. I just wish I could have gotten the OM deal :|

 

[madalien]

Sorry about the misinformation I posted on media type above, I must be getting to the point in life that I should NOT rely on my memory.

FYI, you can get Lexar CF 64MB at buy.com for around $75. Use $30 coupon first, then there is $40 MIR.
You've to use Lexar CF for your Nikon.

In response to jhassi:

I found this deal independantly of tomtnt. No need to get your panties in an uproar..... I found this on another site and I searched listings in this forum before I posted....... I'm not into the glory thing -- he can have the credit .... If this had been a duplicate post mod's will lock it or delete it. I will change post....

YOU should be careful who you call a JERK.... You don't even know me...

 

[jhassi]

<< YOU should be careful who you call a JERK.... You don't even know me... >>



you're right, i don't know you, so how am i suppose to know if you copied tomtnt's post or not? I don't know if you're the kind of person that would do that or not.

when the subject says &quot;FOR YOUR CANON S-10'S!&quot; i assumed you had read the Canon S10 thread and posted it without giving credit to the original person who posted it.

wolverine: waht you mean use lexar for nikon....

i just got kingston and my nikon 800 came with sandisk... cf is cf no matter the brand... only neat thing is lexar has wierd usb jumpshot tech; but any real photo gimp will buy a independent 25$ usb reader so who cares.
