The class 6 8GB transend cards are available here in Montreal for $69.99(Canadian), about two or three times as much as on that web site once you count shipping and customs costs. For quantity one the price difference probably isn't worth the hassle. They also sell a 16G one for 139.99, or only 119.99 if you're willing to accept a card reader with it. I don't know why the card reader has an effectively negative price. It can't be *that* bad, can it :-? > I have never measured the throughput.
