We bought an SD card today to try out the photo channel and it's pretty cool. The SD card was freaking cheap as well (512mb for $25 ). So since our camera only supports xD cards I was thinking of getting and SD card camera. What's a really cheap one that works well? Let's say... under $150?

Where did you get your SD? Hmm. I ordered 1 gig for $28(including delivery), but don't know when I could get. I regret that didn't try one at offside.

For camera below $150, I found recommend kodak or Hp?

I saw it in dealsdirect, and cost $149. It is out of stock in current, but may be available soon. Average price of this model seems like about $220

Just so every one knows, those 'fake DSE brand' ones are actually Sandisk SD cards.

Are you sure of it? Isn't San Disk more well known?

Anyway, Ebay is the best place to get cheapest. At that time, I found $30 for 2gb whilst I bought 1gb (sandisk)

I would go on ebay, but I don't have a credit card and my parents don't want to shop online.

Why don't you just transfer your xD card images onto the SD card?

You haven't tried ebay, right? You could find the payment with Paypal and direct deposit.^^; They don't prefer Credit card payment.

Wii address book? I don't have wireless so no internet for my Wii. :c

And Toma, sometimes it can be annoying to transfer and it'd be nice to just be able to pop in the card and view photos.

I agree with you Winnie, it is better to have one match memory card. However,I suggest you to buy better camera..^^ If you can..P.S: Is there any way to send msg to mates on Mywii?

Ok, just realize the image quality might really suck, for a $150 camera, compared to whatever you have now. Also, the Wii has terrible image rendering. Try zooming on a 5 mp image! Its gross. Looks like a 3d image thats cached at a crappy rez then just zooms in on it. I hope they fix it.
