SD to CF II Adapter
-
Anyone have experience with using this as an alternative to CF II Cards?
It is so hard to come across a 4 GB CF card in my area! And also very expensive compared to 4 GB SD Cards…..

how much can 4GB cf cost? 10-12$/piece

Cheapest CF card in my area is $40 and up since only one store carries it. If I need to replace or increase the storage capacity I can pick up an inexpensive SD card anywhere!
Online I would have to ship overnight. (Very Expensive)
Or drive to Frys which is 3 hours time lost from where I live….. -
Okay where should I send a 4GB CF?
If I walk to supermarket it'll cost me ~10-12€ to get that kind of card, so even with postages it would be cheaper than your local dealer -
Nice! Grocery stores do not carry them here…. :-( Minimum is 8 Gb and that is the Extreme....$$$ Since 99% of the digital camera's are SD the Compact Flash market has been wiped out.

Any reason why you don't look through e-bay?
Something like this?

Also 8 gigs aren't too bad on the price as the wear leveling will last longer.

I would stick with SanDisk and Transcend brands as they are known to be more reliable.
