Re: Canon lens.
case in point
£49.97 Sandisk 2GB Extreme IV Compactflash Card - Jessops vs. £16.31 SanDisk Extreme IV 2 GB CompactFlash Card - Mobile-Blue Stor.. Neither price includes postage. That's because Jessops doesn't offer that particular service, and instead you'd have to go and collect it from a local store. Or you can get it delivered from Hong Kong through mobile blue for around £4. It's a hard choice.

Re: Canon lens.
Or get a 4GB Ultra II from Play.com for £17.99 and free postage
 Only a 1D will max out an UltraII (although yes, I do like my Extreme IV cards. it of a Sandisk whore here) |

Please, Don't ask for that one 'as a desktop'...its really not worth wasting your time asking, unless you're able to pay £££?

If you're doing something where the photos are important (such as a wedding), many people will take the view that they keep photos and duplicates wherever possible. I don't erase cards with important (perhaps irreplaceable) shots until I KNOW that I have them safely copied and archived. After all, if you copy the contents of several cards in a wedding shoot to the HD in an MP3 player, and that HD then fails ..... you're royally screwed.

The photographer concerned then spent a good part of the next several months driving all over the country to the homes of those with ruined photos, redoing them .... at his expense. The alternative, presumably, was to face the ire of all those students (and parents thereof) .... and loss of the franchise from the Uni. I shudder to think what it cost him in both time and travel costs.  Ergo .... my belt-and-braces philosophy for important pictures.
