6GB CF $124.95 (after rebate)
Hitachi 6GB Microdrive is $124.95 after rebate at BHphoto.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation

I wanted to wait for the next sale on an 8gb microdrive to purchase more memory.
At this price I think I may go ahead and get this one.

I have personally spent over $3000 thru BH.
Lots of camera gear, Canon Rebel XT, "L" lens, etc. , etc.
DO NOT buy from most other New York affiliated camera stores without looking into their background first.
Camera Mafia = Big Rip Offs!!!
Do your research before purchasing anything online.
I recommend http://resellerratings.com/
And I highly recommend http://www.bhphotovideo.com

Second that, I bought my wife's SLR camera from BHPhoto, great price (at least for that) and great service.

I just got my 4GB one from newegg for $110 w/ rebate. That is a pretty good deal for the 6GB... they always have a good deal after I order something lol. Oh well, I won't really need 6GB for daily commute anyway.

4GB - $89 -- http://www.compuplus.com/i-Hitachi-4...r-froogle.html

Looks like the seriously overcharge for shippping though.

Compuplus also has the 6gb for $108.95 (after $50 rebate)
http://www.compuplus.com/i-Hitachi-6...mboid-719.html
$14.95 shipping is kind of steep though.
Reseller rating isnt so hot either.

BH at $124.95 plus $4.95 shipping still looks more attractive to me.
Much more reliable reseller rating plus previous experience in my case.

Thanks for the notice. I just bought from here: www.digitalhotbuy.com $154.40 + Shipping: $4.69 + Tax: $11.19 =
Total: $170.28 - $50 rebate = $120.28

this is slightly cheaper, but the last 2 comments in resellerrating.com were not very good - I'll see when I get it.

Being from NYC, B&Hphoto along with J&R (www.jr.com)and Adorama are trustworthy camera places to buy gear from.

If you don't need the 6GB, B&H has the 4GB microdrive for $100 AR and the 3GB for $80 AR, but the 6GB is by far the best bang for the buck GB/$.

Crud, I thought I got a good deal at 165 after rebate before Christmas on the 6gig card.
BH is a good company.
