Yeh ! Great price if your in the USA. The 16GB EXTREME CF CARD is only $52.95, but they want a ridiculous $59.60 for shipping to Australia ? What a joke ! How can they justify this amount ?
Just stick it in a registered envelope for a few dollars mate.

Risky? Risky is changing memory cards out at any point during your shoot. It hasn’t happened often but I’ve lost or almost lost images/videos from human error when it comes to backing up cards. I’ve never lost anything from a bad memory card….knock on wood :)

Yeah I kinda did…. CF card prices were going down from 2000 to 2005 like every other piece of tech crap… UNTIL everyone else moved on to SD cards and only pros needed CF… CF’s are getting as archaic as Sony’s Memory stick. It’s not an issue of professionalism, it’s price gouging.

I just called Adorama and they were surprised with the picture as well and how it displays the CF and SD card to be perceived as under $20.00

did you guys REALLY expect a high performance CF card to be under 20 dollars? CF’s hit a more professional market, and they’ll always be more expensive than SD.
