I always use Picstop and never had an issue. Their prices are reasonable too.

Tom - try Bob Rigby - I bought 4x4Gb SD Ultra 2's off him the other week before we went to Donna - obviously I was expecting to take a few more shots than I did! - I paid quite a bit less than what's on his website.

I've found Picstop, My Memory and 7 dayshop.com all very good and with similar prices.

Try Gary at http://www.photo-scotland.co.uk - he is/was a UKNP member. I've bought bits from him at various points and he's always given good & prompt service.

Hi Tom,

I used ebay, a UK seller had the latest Sandisk 4GB CF for around £20 which is how much I payed for mine and it arrived 3 days later.

I bought an Ultra2 2 gb card from a right old rogue trader in the US from ebay and had problems with it within 3 days. Ebay stopped the person trading and I went staright to sandisk and they replaced it without any fuss. Paid about a squillionth to what I would have paid in the shops so I was happy. Guess the moral is, ebay is an option as Sandisk will honour the warranty, in my experience
