| 377177 | 2005-08-01 23:54:00 | My camera is a Pentax sv (5meg). Just bought from Parrallel Importers. It came with a 32mb card. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 377178 | 2005-08-02 00:19:00 | That should be Pentax Optio sv. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 377179 | 2005-08-02 02:43:00 | Just get the normal speeds. If you wanna download faster, you can consider the 40x or 66x if you got external mem card reader. IMO the Sandisk Ultra II isn't that much more than the normal speed Sandisks.... Yes, mem card fail does happen. This mem card prob last you for yrs to come so its not bad paying a bit more IMO. Put it this way, you got the 32MB which is prob a normal speed card. Are you happy with the speed now for photo and for video and for data transfer? If so, you should be happy with normal speed cards..... |

| 377181 | 2005-08-02 22:57:00 | I mentioned a price of $25 for a 256mb card from Aquilatech. By clicking on Kingston I got taken to the American site which quoted us$25...dUH. Having got sorted,back to the nz site they wanted to charge $7 frt.. Auck to Auck.. I shall pop down to E ONE in Manukau . | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 377182 | 2005-08-02 23:27:00 | 2 important things: Warranty, as state above. (Be sure it is valid for NZ.) Get more than 128 Mb unless you are on a very tight budget, but even so, you will probably find that for not much more $$ you can get heaps more memory. I would go for 512 Mb especially if you plan to do video clips (you WILL take video even if you don't plan to!). |
