Memory card for camera??

[Carl_steveo]

Trying to find a good quality and good size memory card for my digital camera. Needs to be quite big it's going to be used for two months in Sri lanka with the pics being uploaded to a computer from time to time. I know nowt about cameras or cards and remember my mate buying some cheap SD cards on ebay just to find out they were fakes and crap.

So BCF massive can you point me in the right direction, Karma for the winner. Danke.

What type of card does your camera take?
Is it an SD like your mates?

Usual places i go are:
Play
Dabs
Amazon
SVP

Watch out for which class they range from 0 to 10 last time i looked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

its transfer speed 10 being the quickest some decent SLRs will suffer lag when taking multiple shots with low class cards.

If you have a point and click doest matter so much.

EDIT:
16Gb Class 10

16Gb Class 2

Not a bad difference!

Also check the max capacity your camera will take nothing worse than buying a nice big card and finding your camera can't use it

I bought mine whilst in India...for pence, and its a SanDisk and holds oodles of pictures.

I often find that such things are cheaper to buy overseas than here.

Buy several smaller ones and put them somewhere safe when they're full.

Then when some sticky fingered Sri-Lankan dude does a two-up C90 ride-by snatch and grab and has it away with your camera, you don't loose all your photos too.

EDIT: Have a look on cpc.farnell.com. Make sure you check the "publications" section. Bit of a pain flipping through the ebooks but that's where the bargains are to be had.
