I saw on the Canon Rumors site that B&H has reduced their prices for SanDisk memory cards. To be honest, I don't know if these prices are lower than normal, since I haven't bought any new ones in a few years, but I must say, they are incredible prices. I picked up a couple pro 16gb cards. If you need cards, it might be time to snag a few. B&H SanDisk page

WHOA!!! I paid $259 several months back for the 32GB Extreme CF the 90mb/sec gold one. Now it's $99! They must be preparing for a new model line for CES in January, they always drop the price to clear stock. Good catch Todd! :toast:

Paul, I remember buying a 1gb card (or was it a 512mb???) when I bought my first digicam, an 8mp Rebel XT, in May of '05. It was $129.

Probably to make room for the higher read/write speeds needed to make better use of USB 3.0.
