Cheapest place to get 16gb SDHC cards from?

[Paul the 6th]

Just having a look around and it seems there's still plenty of places online who are happy to fleece the masses of people who don't fully understand technology trends etc. (£60 for a 16gb SDHC card from one website, but with play.com selling the exact same thing for £11)..

I'd have happily bought them from play.com but they're out of stock and I do kind of need them this week.

Asside from being the high capacity type, they've gotta be the high speed ones (like Sandisk Ultra II's) as they're being used for recording full HD video & not still images etc..

All recommendations for price greatly appreciated

8gb might even cut the mustard if neccessary? Just looking for somewhere which isn't too expensive

Another place I've used in the past (already filtered on 16GB SDHC): http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC?filters=size:16384 They deliver free as most would I imagine

Not all are created the same - I have cheapy and more expensive cards, the dearer ones perform significantly better. There are many camera magazine tests done on a number of varying brands and costs, the cards that do best are rather more expensive than the average.
Of course this may be irrelevant depending on the use to which your will put the device, but serves to illustrate that the more expensive cards may not simply be a 'rip off'.

I would avoid eBay, lots of fake SD Cards find there way there.

I bought a flash card from ebay - china. Fake the 64Gb turned out to be about 1.5Gb before failing. You get what you pay for, Buy cheap buy again

I've had numerous cheap sans disk cards simply fall apart on me, they just split at the seams, including the one in my Sony cybershot which is now jammed in the slot :(

I can vouch for that particular auction, that card is in my SD slot now.

sorry mate my video data rates when recording in full HD are around 17mbit/sec so ideally needs to be a faster card.

I understand about paying more for better quality cards, but my OP was aimed at the likes of maplins who want to charge £60-£80 for a 16 or 32gb SDHC high speed card, where as places such as warehouseexpress & the like are only charging £30-£40 for example :)

Thanks for the memorybits link though, just ordered :D
