I recently picked up a Cannon Powershot digital camera. I'd like to pick up an extra flash card and battery. Where's the cheapest place to get 'em?
I guess it's not totally off topic, now I'll be able to post some pics of my car!
Thanks,
RR

Rob,

I recently bought a 128mb Smart Media card from New Egg http://www.newegg.com. Around $50 with free shipping. I've ordered other computer stuff from this company and never had any problems.

Does your camera use AA batteries? If so, I'm using these in my Olympus and I'm very happy with them...

Good luck!!

you can get a 256mb card for about $85 at buy.com.

i just got a 12x speed one from amazon for $130.

Thanks for the tips.
No AA batteries, it has a "lithium ion battery pack". Perhaps I can substitute some dilithium crystals?
Any ideas who has a good deal on a backup battery pack?
Thanks,
RR

Hey Rob,
Which canon camera did you get? Would you recomend it? I'm considering the s330 elph model or the Minolta dimage x. Any input? Thanks.

CE,
I ordered the S330 and was told the company was recalling them, so I went with the S300. Has all the same features an I love it. It's small enough that you can put it in your pocket and it takes great pics. You won't be sorry.

RR,
If you don't want to order the Compact Flash, Target also has good prices.

I got my Powershot 2 years ago and use it often for business. Still works great. I bought the rechargable battery kit from Canon. It beats paying $13 every time you need a new battery.
That $50 price someone listed for a 128mb card sounds like a terrific deal.
Good luck. You'll enjoy it.

I use the CNET shopping site for a lot of my purchases. Here is a link to a page about Smart Media Cards - Pick the size you want and they will check the latest prices for you. You can also sort it by most popular or price, etc

Thanks guys!!
Chad, I got the S200 ELPH. I've only had it a week, but I really like it! Pic quality is really nice! VERY easy to use. If the weather holds I'll bring it to a cruise night tonight and try to post some pics Sunday.
Thanks,
RR

I recently got the Canon A40 and am very happy with it. It also has the ability to take small moving pics as well.

Be careful when buying a memory card. Some cameras will only accept up to a certain size. They can't read larger ones. I made that mistake.

Try these guys out.....for all computer schtuff:
PRICEWATCH

You also might want to look at www.CDW.com as well, they have some great prices and are very quick with delivery. I ordered my Sony Mavica CD from them at the same time as a 4x6 photo printer and a carry case for the camera and I had it all in less than a week.

Be really careful on pricewatch, there are a lot of "shysters" on that site. Fake products, misrepresented products, inflated shipping, all kinds of weird stuff.
