actually it's still there, only it's $77 now. There's also a "PNY 2GB Secure Digital (SD) Card Model P-SD2G-RF3 - Retail" for $65.44 + $4.81 s/h.

If you do a search on their site for flash memory, you'll see their other options.

But the A-Data is a 50x card which is what you really want for a digital camera, the PNY is much slower and will make you wait between photos and give you choppy video.

Edit: and the $77 A-Data is not the same card as the $68 one

I've been looking for a good review site for SD card research...where did you find this information regarding PNY being slower? It'd be nice to have when I get ready to upgrade the 1GB one I have in my Canon S2.

pny.com shows they have 2 lines, standard and Optima. The Optima cards are 60/66x, they don't bother to tell you how fast (slow) the standard cards are. If a manufacturer doesn't tell you, it can't be good or they'd be shouting it from the rooftops. Personally, if a card isn't clearly rated, I won't buy it at any price.

There's a review showing the PNY (Toshiba) to be quite slow writing here.

There's a pretty good roundup of cards here, but it does not include PNY or A-Data.

I could swear there used to be a good one at dpreview.com, but I can't find it now. If you have some free time, it would be worth looking for it.
