Mike,

You might want to be a bit careful. I've read and heard of plenty of dodgy CompactFlash and SD cards from Hong Kong -- some of them are flashed to show that they've got more than twice the data that they can actually hold.

A friend of mine bought a 2 GB MiniSD card from Hong Kong for $10. I advised him not to do it and to spend the $40-odd dollars and buy it locally (this was over a year ago). He didn't listen. He got the card, it lasted about 3 days before it fizzled.

You get what you pay for.

Regards,
Humayun
