i recently got a fujifilm 128Mb XD memory card for €44.99 at shop@iol

also got a lovely fuji camera case for €9.99

i believe this is a lot cheaper than they usual go for....

but before you rush in be warned! i buy online all the time but never from shop@iol and the service was brutal! ordered 2 of these cards and the case on 11 april and had to make a few phone calls regarding it and only finally had teh last part of my order last week!

but if you don't mind chasing them up it's a good deal...

Their delivery charges seem to be very high for small items.

DELIVERY CHARGES, PACKAGING AND OTHER SERVICES:

Delivery to Ireland (including both Republic and Northern Ireland)

€10.53 (IR £8.29) + VAT @ 20% for up to 25Kg
For every Kg thereafter the additional price is €0.63 (IR £0.50) + VAT

the same xd card is €44.70 plus delivery (about 4 or 5 euro) from amazon.co.uk

128 MB Fuji card from 7dayshop is £25.99 (about €39) and shipping is a flat fee of £1.95 up to 50 items.

They also do an XD card reader for £7.99 or a combined XD/Smartmedia card reader for £8.99. I got one for £7.99 and it's great - plug & play in win2k so it's loke having a pen drive.

jeepers normally amazon is the first place i check for things - can't believe i missed that doh!

i had seen the 7 day shop offer but it wasn't explicitly stating it was a *fuji* 128mb card - is that the case? i didn't want to chance a non branded card....

in light of the prices available at amazon, i'd definitely say don't go anywhere near shop@iol!! the service is woeful

They're Fuji cards, I bought 2 from them about 3 months ago for my S5000. I've not seen any unbranded XD cards yet, only Olympus and Fuji (Fuji seem to be cheaper).

thanks for the info stem - it was just unclear cos they removed the logo from the pic and refer to both olympus and fuji in the description.
7 day shop are great!
